Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘use a circle' 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 £10.00 voucher courtesy of RAM Stamps and we will also find out who Sue has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Nat from Team 2 and she has given us a theme of ‘animals'.  Nat knows how much we all love our animals so she simply wants to see your cute critters (including birds) this week. It doesn’t have to be an animal image it could be animal themed patterned paper or an animal die-cut/embellishment as long as you also include a hand coloured image. Hopefully this will be a popular challenge and we can’t wait to see what you make.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun! Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  So just grab your markers, join in and have some fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is All Dressed Up Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a prize of 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All the DT have used images from ADU on their creations this week.
