Week 760 - Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Hello again friends; we hope you’ve had a great day so far.  We’re back to announce our lucky Winner and Top 5 Passionista for last week’s 'include an insect' challenge.  It wasn't a super popular challenge but thank you so much for the lovely entries we did have; as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I’ll be announcing my Top 5 Passionista (on behalf of Linda) in a moment but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Clearly Besotted Stamps and they offered one lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 8

Now onto the Top 5 Passionista and I had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. It was a really tough decision but after much deliberation here are my favourite 5:

Week 770 - include an insect

Good morning and welcome back to our lovely crafters; we can’t wait to share our first challenge of 2025.  We hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and managed to fit in some crafting over the holiday period.  The last month has just whizzed by hasn’t it!  We would like to say a big thank you for all your support in 2024 and we hope you will continue to support us this year.  We were blown away by all your lovely entries for our Mega Christmas challenge; it was amazing to see them all and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing all of our lucky winners – how exciting!

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Linda from Team 2, and she has given us the fun theme of ‘include an insect’.  As the title suggests Linda wants to see any insect on your creations this week; i.e. bees, ladybugs, butterflies etc.  I don’t think it can get any easier than that to start us off this year.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  So pull out your favourite markers and get colouring.  Sadly Linda is not joining us for this challenge as she is taking an extended break due to work and house renovations so I will be choosing the top 5 on her behalf this week.  

Our generous sponsor this week is Clearly Besotted Stamps and the lovely Stephanie has given us a £15.00 voucher for one lucky winner to spend in their online store. 

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):

Another week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Don’t forget to pop back later to see if you are one of our lucky winners from our Mega Christmas challenge; as we have lots of winners there will be no top 5, but this will re-start again this week with Linda's challenge.  

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x

Week 757 - include a flower

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘Christmas’ challenge.  It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our winner of the £15.00 voucher courtesy of Dies to Die For and also revealing who Sue has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Linda from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘include a flower'.  Linda has given you a super easy theme this week and would like you to include flowers on your creations.  It could be a floral image, floral papers or even die cut flowers (as long as you also include an image coloured with markers).  Such a fun theme; we can’t wait to see what you make. Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card. The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun! 

Our generous sponsor this week is Leann's World 101.  Unfortunately at the moment LeAnn's store is down and she is unable to access her images so we are offering 2 images that we already have (so sadly no choice this time around).  As we have a flower themed challenge we are offering 'Bouquet' and 'Roses' as the two images you can win.  Most of the DT have used images from Leann's World 101 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):

No card this week

Another week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Week 745 - add a number

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘summer’ challenge.  It was lovely to have so many of you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our winner of the 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up Stamps and also revealing who Sue has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Linda from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘add a number’.  Linda would like you to simply add a number somewhere on your creation.  It could be as simple as adding the recipient's age, for an anniversary or even the 25th of December.  You could even use patterned paper, ribbon or washi tape with numbers on.  Hopefully this will be a popular challenge and we can’t wait to see what you make.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun! So just grab your markers, join in and have some fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from The Paper Shelter on their creations this week.
