Week 153 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters.  We hope you had a great week last week and managed to survive the dreadful weather we’ve been having.  We are sending our best wishes to everyone who has suffered due to the flooding and we hope you can get back to normal as soon as possible – at least no one was badly injured, which was a miracle! 

Before we announce the details of the new challenge we would like to say a big thank you for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s “red, white and blue” challenge.  The DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and you certainly all seemed to enjoy Andie’s theme.  Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Andie has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the Promarker Stamping Kit courtesy of Letraset. 

Onto this week’s challenge and it’s Denise’s turn to set the theme and she has chosen “lots of layers”.  You can make anything you like as long as you have at least 3 layers on your project this week – simples!  Don’t forget to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products i.e. pro, flex, aqua or tria markers and of course follow the theme. 

Our sponsor this week is DigiStamp Boutique and Sally-Ann is offering one lucky winner a prize of 6 digi images of their choice. 

The design team have created amazing samples as always (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Week 152 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters. We’re hope you’ve all had a wonderful week and especially enjoyed your long Bank Holiday weekend, although I can’t believe it’s almost over. Even though the weather has been typical for a Bank Holiday I hope you all managed to have your street parties/outdoor activities you may have had planned. Before we announce the new challenge we would like to say thanks for all your amazing entries to last week’s “Olympic Rings/Inspiration Photo” challenge. There were so many gorgeous cards for the DT to drool over once again! Don’t forget to check back later and find out who Debs has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of Joanna Sheen.

Onto this week’s challenge and Andie has given us a very apt colour theme of “red, white and blue” this week. You can make whatever you like, it doesn’t have to be Jubilee/Queen related! Please remember to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. pro, flex, aqua, metallic or tria markers) and of course follow the theme.

Our sponsor this week is Letraset and one lucky winner will receive one of their Promarker Stamping Kits.
