Week 815 - Christmas

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you so much for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘CAS’ challenge.  It was lovely to see your wonderful entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner, who will receive 3 digi images courtesy of Polkadoodles and we will also find out who Sarah has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Wendy from Team 2 and she has given us the super easy theme of 'Christmas'. Wendy would like you to simply make a Christmas themed creation this week.  We know most of you have started your Christmas cards/tags etc production by now but I'm sure there are quite a few you that haven’t begun yet and hopefully this challenge will give you a little kickstart!!  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw; so grab your markers and have fun! 

Our generous sponsor this week is Lili of the Valley stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 4 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from Lili of the Valley on their creations this week.

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs and see more views of their amazing makes this week):
