Week 189 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters. I hope you all had a brilliant week last week and it was such a pleasure to see so many gorgeous entries for the “one for the ladies” challenge. The DT had a fantastic time visiting your blogs and seeing your wonderful creations and we hope you will all join in again with this week’s challenge. Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Vicky has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are one of the lucky winners of the Letraset new Promarker collectors sets.

Onto this week’s challenge which has been set by Eileen from Team 2 and she has chosen “from around the world”. All the DT thought it was such an unusual and inspiring challenge theme and we hope you do too. Basically we want you to use an image that depicts another part of the world (just check out the DT cards for some awesome inspiration). Please could you tell us which part of the world your image shows (just in case we are too dull to know lol!). Don’t forget to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (promarkers, aqua markers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic markers or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.

We are delighted to welcome back Clearly Besotted Stamps as our sponsor this week and the lovely Stephanie is offering one lucky winner a 4x6 stamp set called “Going Places” which is very apt for our theme this week!

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and created amazing cards for your inspiration (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Good morning dear crafters. I hope you all had a fantastic week last week and had fun with our “circle cards” challenge.
