Week 433 - 'Cats and/or dogs'

Good morning to you all on this very cold morning, I hope you are all keeping warm with the 'Beast from the East' heading towards us all. Denise is off this week with flu (get well soon xx) so I am taking over for the week.

Thank you to everyone who joined in last week, the winner of last weeks challenge and Top five will be announced later on today. In the meantime why not give this weeks challenge a go.

The challenge has been set by the lovely Hazel from Team 1 and is a theme I am sure we all have stamps and images for 'Cats and/or dogs'. 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.

Our sponsor this week is  Dr Digis House of Stamps  who have some fantastic images for all occasions and they have generously offered 2 images to the winner of this challenge

If you need some inspiration for this weeks challenge of 'Cats and/or dogs' just take a look at the Design teams cards, gorgeous as always. Please check out their blogs by clicking on the link above the cards.

Week 432–have a heart

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘add an embellishment’ challenge.  It was lovely to see so many entries and 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 Sue has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Nat from Team 2, and she has given us the theme of ‘have a heart.   As the title suggests Nat would like you to make something that includes a heart or is heart shaped.  It can be on your image, your patterned paper, a die cut or even an embellishment such as a heart shaped gem.  Whatever you use it’s up to you as long as there is one heart on your creation somewhere!  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
