Week 591–use your favourite colours

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week.  It’s really lovely to see so many of you joining in with our challenges and thank you so much for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘say it with flowers’ challenge.  As always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 3 digi images courtesy of Crafty Sentiments Designs and also who Karen has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marlene from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘use your favourite colours’.  Marlene doesn’t mind what you make this week, just use your favourite colours.  Please can you tell us what they are in your post?  Obviously we know favourites change from day to day (hour to hour sometimes lol!) so you can still enter multiple creations.  Basically an anything goes challenge for you this week so let’s see lots of entries.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Star Jam Lines and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their on line store.  Most of the DT have used images from Star Jam Lines 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):

Week 423–use your favourite colours

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ challenge.  It was a popular challenge and it was lovely to see so many of your wonderful creations.  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 £10.00 voucher courtesy of DigiStamp Boutique and we will also find out who Lisa has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista. 

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Karen from Team 2, and she has given us the very easy and lovely theme of ‘use your favourite colours’.   As the title suggests Karen doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as you use your favourite colour schemes.  Obviously we know that this can change from day-to-day so just use your current favourite!  We’re always on the look out for different colour schemes so please can you tell us your favourite colours in your blog post?  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 products you have used on your creation I.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x
