Week 400–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Hello again friends, I am really sorry for the late post tonight but my silly computer decided to do a really long update just when I needed it – why do they always do them at the most inopportune time?  Anyway enough moaning, I’m back to announce our lucky winner and top 5 passionista for last week’s “sketch” challenge.  Unfortunately it wasn’t the most popular challenge ever but as always it was fantastic to see your lovely entries and the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  We’ll be announcing my top 5 passionista in a minute but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Ppinkydolls who offered one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 6

Week 400–sketch

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a wonderful week.  I hope you are all coping with the high temperatures at the moment.  I know I’m a killjoy but it’s a little too hot for me, especially in work.  I’ll be moaning it’s too cold/wet next week I expect haha!  Thank you for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘add a sentiment’ challenge, I knew it was going to be a popular one and you didn’t disappoint.  As always it was lovely to see your wonderful entries and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing our gorgeous creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the $12.00 voucher courtesy of Bugaboo stamps and we will also be finding out who Linda has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was originally chosen by Ali from Team 1 before she stepped down from the DT.  As she is not here any longer I will be taking over her challenge this week.  Ali chose to give us an awesome sketch to work with this week.  As long as we can see the basics of the sketch you are free to interpret it as you see fit.  Here is the sketch:

Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor this week is Ppinkydolls and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their  online store.  They have some very gorgeous images in their shop, if you haven’t already visited the store why not pop over and take a look, you will definitely want some once you have seen them.  The DT were lucky enough to use some of their images on their creations this week.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support during 2014 and we hope you will continue to support our challenges in 2015.  On the topic of challenges we had a brilliant response to our month long Mega Christmas challenge and the whole of the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  Don’t forget to come back later to check out the exciting bit – finding out who the lucky winners are!  As we had multiple sponsors there will be lots of lucky winners so come back this evening and see if you are one of them!

Ok onto the new challenge, which has been chosen by Loopy Lou from Team 1.  As it’s the first challenge of the new year Loopy Lou has decided to start us off gently and has given us a brilliant sketch to use this week.  Here is the sketch:
