Week 741 - going dotty

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week and enjoyed our special anniversary challenge.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘anything goes’ challenge.  It was lovely to have so many of 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 7 lucky winners – yes 7!!  Just for this one week there will be no Top 5 Passionista as there are so many winners.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Karen from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘going dotty’.  Karen doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as it has lots of dots on it.  It can be dots on your image, dotty paper, dotty ribbon or even a dotty embossing folder.  Such a simple theme this week and we cannot wait to see all your gorgeous entries.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  As long as you have used your markers to do some colouring you can make whatever you like.  So just grab your markers, join in and have some fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Clearly Besotted Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store. 

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):

DT call

We’ve decided to run the DT call for one more week just in case anyone missed it last week.  Here is a re-cap of what we are looking for:

* You will need to have excellent colouring skills using markers of course!

* You will need to have a blog and update it regularly, at least once a week.

* You must be able to commit to creating at least one card every fortnight.

* You must have a Facebook account (or be willing to join Facebook) as this is where all the information for the DT will be located.

* You must be able to comment on your allocated number of entries (we have a commenting rota in place).

* Most importantly if selected you can start creating for us straight away.

If you feel you meet all the above then please add DT after your name and we’ll pop over for a look. If you would like more information please feel free to email us (but please don’t apply by email). We will review everyone who has expressed an interest and announce the lucky new DT member very soon. 

We hope you have a great week.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
