Week 782 - 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 'anything but birthday' challenge.  It was lovely to see so many of your entries and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I’ll be announcing Nat'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 Uniko Stamps and they offered one lucky winner 1 product of their choice from their online store (stamp, die or stencil which must be in stock).  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 17

Lynne

Congratulations Lynne, what a pretty card. The flowers are gorgeous and your colouring is perfect.  Please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and let us know what item you would like from the Uniko Stamps store and we will arrange for you to receive it. We hope you will proudly display our winners badge on your blog:

Now onto the Top 5 Passionista and Nat 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:

Inkami

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.

We hope you all have a wonderful week and find some time to join in with our current challenge '3-2-1-go!' - full details in the post below.

Stay safe and keep on crafting.

Week 782 - anything but birthday

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 ‘spring colours’ 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 3 digi images courtesy of Colour of Love Digis and we will also find out who Sue has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

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! 

Our generous sponsor this week is Uniko Stamps who are offering one lucky winner 1 product of their choice (stamp, stencil or die) from their online store (must be in stock).  

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):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.
