Week 762 - make it cute

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘autumn friends’ 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 £6.00 voucher courtesy of Di's Digi Stamps and also revealing who Wendy has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lorraine from Team 1, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘make it cute'. Lorraine has given you a super easy challenge this week; she wants to see all your cute images.  Everyone loves making cute creations so this is not really a challenge is it!!  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. Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw; so grab your markers and have fun! **As Lorraine is still on her break, I will be choosing the Top 5 on her behalf this week**

Our generous sponsor this week is Rachelle Anne Miller and she is offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.  All of the DT have used images from RAM Stamps latest 'fairy & birdy' release 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):
