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 ‘summer' challenge.  Thank you for all your lovely entries; 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 All Dressed Up Stamps and they offered one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

Congratulations Jenny, what a super cute card.  The sandboy image is adorable and your beach scene is fantastic.  We have a new email address so please contact us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and let us know your choice of images 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.  It was a really tough decision but after much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

Week 744 - summer

Good morning lovely crafters; we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week's 'animals' challenge.  It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 3 digi images courtesy of Sheepski Designs and also who Kitty has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sue from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘summer'.  When Sue set her theme she did think that summer would be in full swing by now but as we all know the British weather is anything but predictable!  Sue would like you to create something that depicts summer; it can be a beach scene, sitting in the garden, riding a bike, or simply eating an ice-cream.  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week.  Don't forget you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please 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 All Dressed Up Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  The DT have all used images from All Dressed Up Stamps on their creations this week.

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.
