Week 402–anything goes!

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Happy 4th of July to all our American friends, we hope you have an amazing day.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘sporting occasions’ challenge.  As always it was lovely to see your wonderful creations and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner of the $6.00 voucher courtesy of Little Miss Muffet stamps and we will also be finding out who I’ve chosen (on behalf of Donna) as my top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge from Team 1 and we have the fantastic and very popular theme of ‘anything goes’.  It is as simple as it sounds, you can make anything you like!  We expect lots of entries this week as it is such an open theme.  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 Crafty Sentiments Designs and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Their images are so much fun and some of the design team were lucky enough to use Crafty Sentiments Designs images on their cards 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 and see more views of their amazing makes this week):

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:

Week 401–sporting occasions

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘sketch’ challenge.  Not too many entries last week but as always it was lovely to see your wonderful creations and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will win the 3 digi images courtesy of Ppinkydolls and we will also be finding out who I have chosen as my top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Donna from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘sporting occasions’.  It is as simple as it sounds!  Donna would like you to create something that includes an image of something sporty.   Unfortunately Donna has been quite poorly for the last few weeks so she is not able to participate in her challenge therefore I will be choosing the top 5 on her behalf.  We are sending healing vibes to Donna for a speedy recovery.  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 Little Miss Muffet stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a $6.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  Their images are so much fun and all of the design team were lucky enough to use LMMS images on their cards 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 and see more views of their amazing makes this week):
