Week 818 - Mega Christmas challenge - add a sentiment

*** WARNING – LONG POST ***

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit (or two) and make yourself comfortable!

Good morning dear crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. The DT really enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing your fabulous creations for our 'add some bling' challenge.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who the lucky winner of the £15.00 voucher courtesy of Clearly Besotted Stamps will be and also to see who Elaine has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

This week we are launching our very special 'Mega Christmas challenge' which runs for a whole month and ends on 6th January 2026!  I’m sure you’ll agree that both design teams have worked extremely hard once again this year and they deserve a little break to catch up on their last minute gifts and cards.  However to make up for the lack of challenges we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs!

Our theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is 'add a sentiment'.  We don't mind what you create for this challenge, as long as you colour with your markers!  You are welcome to make Christmas creations but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation.  As time is precious for our DT at this time of year we are limiting the number of entries you can make to just 3 for this month long challenge.  Please remember to be eligible for our prizes you must include a hand-coloured image using your markers such as Promarkers, Copics, Spectrum Noir, Karin, Zig Clean Color etc. 

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!

Dies to Die For are offering 1 lucky winner a £25.00 gift voucher

Wow we are sure you’ll agree our sponsors have been super generous once again this year! We are so grateful to have their continued support. 

We have asked both design teams to share some inspiration with you but as it such a long challenge we will be posting the inspiration from Team 1 today and then in two week’s time we will be posting inspiration from Team 2.  

Here are the gorgeous cards from Team 1 (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Lorraine

Marie

We’re sure you will agree that their cards are stunning.

So to re-cap the challenge will run until 6th January 2026 and you can enter a maximum of 3 times.  Unfortunately during the Mega Christmas challenge we will not be choosing a Top 5 Passionista but this will re-commence for the first challenge in 2026.

We cannot wait to see your creations and look forward to visiting your blogs. We’ll be back on 23rd December to share Team 2’s gorgeous selection of cards, so don’t forget to stop by for more wonderful inspiration.

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 'add a sentiment' challenge.  It was lovely to see all your entries and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I’ll be announcing Kitty's Top 5 Passionista in a moment but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Leann's World 101 and they offered one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 13

Margreet

Congratulations Margreet, what a fun Christmas card. The image is so sweet and your colouring is perfect.  Please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and let us know what images you would like and we will arrange for you to receive them. We hope you will proudly display our winners badge on your blog:

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

Donna W.

Marjeta

Congratulations everyone, you can now proudly display the Top 5 Passionista blinkie on your blogs. If you need any help with this please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com.

Stay safe and keep on crafting.

Week 780 - add a sentiment

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 ‘dies and/or punches’ challenge; 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 lucky winner who will win the 2 digi images courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps and we will also find out who Marlene has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Kitty from Team 2 and she has given us a theme of ‘add a sentiment’.  Kitty has chosen a really easy theme this week, you can make anything you like, just make sure it has a sentiment on it!  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! 

Our generous sponsor this week is Leann's World 101 who are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  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):
