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):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Week 590–say it with flowers

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you’re all doing ok and you enjoyed the weekend; especially in the UK as we had an extra day for the May Day BH!  Thank you for your lovely entries for last week’s ‘sentimental’ challenge.  It was great to see all your gorgeous entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations – you certainly kept them busy this week.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who has won the $6.00 voucher courtesy of Di’s Digi Stamps and we will also find out who Marie 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 theme of ‘say it with flowers’. This week Karen would like to see flowers on your creations somewhere.  It can be as simple as a floral image, a die cut flower, floral background paper, or even flower embellishments.  Certainly lots of scope with this challenge and we cannot wait to see what you make.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  The only rule we have is that you have to use your markers, for example – Promarkers, Copics, Spectrum Noir, Karin Brushmarkers, Zig Clean Color Brush Markers to name just a few.

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.  Some of the DT have used images from Crafty Sentiments Designs 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):
