Before we announce the details of the new challenge we want to let you know that sadly Linda has decided to step down from Team 2.  She has lots going on 'in real life' so unfortunately crafting has had to take a back seat for now.  We are so going to miss you Linda but wish you well for the future.  It's been a pleasure having you as part of the PFM family and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I'm sure you will join us in wishing her all the best.  

Now onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Nat from Team 2 and she has given us a theme of ‘anything but birthday'. Nat doesn't mind what you make this week, as long as it's NOT a birthday creation; you could make a happy spring card, anniversary card, get well or even a just because card.  Let’s hope it inspires lots of gorgeous entries.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card but remember you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw.  So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Week 720 - new beginnings

Good morning and welcome back to our lovely crafters; we can’t wait to share our first challenge of 2024.  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 2023 and we hope you will continue to support us in 2024.  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 very appropriate theme of ‘new beginnings’.  As the title suggests Linda wants to see something new on your creations this week; i.e. new house, new baby, new job etc.  We will also accept using new crafty goodies (please tell us what they are so we can go shopping).  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. 

Our generous sponsor this week is Uniko Stamps and the lovely Bev is offering one lucky winner 1 product of their choice from her online store (can be a stamp, stencil, die - any value).

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.

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.
