Hello again friends.  Apologies for the late post; it’s my birthday today and I’ve been out for a meal with my 3 favourite men.  Anyway I’m finally back to announce our lucky Winner and Top 5 Passionista for last week’s ‘bingo board’ challenge.  We had some really lovely entries and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I’ll be announcing Lisa M.’s Top 5 Passionista in a moment but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Pattie’s Creations and they offered one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.   As always we used random.org and he chose:

Week 649–Christmas in July

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week and enjoyed our BINGO board’ challenge.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries; it was so lovely to have you join us and 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 Pattie’s Creations and to see who Lisa M. 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 ‘Christmas in July’.  Like most of us crafters Nat is always trying to frantically make Christmas cards/decorations in December so she has decided to give us all a head start by making at least one before December!  Ignore the fact that we are currently experiencing a heatwave in the UK - maybe it will cool us down to think of snow lol!  We can’t wait to see what you make as we love Christmas at PFM!  Please remember you can enter using 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 Uniko Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 1 stamp set (which must be in stock) of their choice from their online store.

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):

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lisa M. from Team 1, and she has chosen something a little different for you this week.  She has given you a “bingo board” to use – just simply choose any line to follow (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) and use everything in that line on your card – simples!  Of course you can use extra items on your card but you must have all 3 items from the line on your card to be eligible for our prize draw.  Please tell us in your post what line you’ve used.  We can’t wait to see what you come up with.  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!  Here is Lisa’s board:
