Week 802 - 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 'spots and/or stripes' challenge. It was lovely to see your entries and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations. I’ll be announcing Sue'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 Polkadoodles and they offered one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store. As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 3

Congratulations Wendy what a super cute card.  The image is adorable 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 them to be sent to you.  We hope you will proudly display our winners badge on your blog:

Now onto the Top 5 Passionista and Sue had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  After much deliberation here are her favourite 5 (in linky order):

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.
