Week 679–things with wings

Good morning lovely crafters; can you believe it's already the last day of February, where did the month go?  We hope you had a great week last week and enjoyed our ‘favourite digi or stamp’ challenge.  Thank you for all 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 Conie Fong 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 you a theme of ‘things with wings’.  Marlene would like you to simply include things that have wings on your creations this week i.e. fairies, butterflies, bees, birds, or even aeroplanes!  Your 'things with wings' can be die cut elements but just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image also.  Easy peasy, 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 Di’s Digi Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a $6.00 voucher to spend in 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):

Week 678–favourite digi or stamp

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for our ‘add some flowers’ challenge; 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 Colour of Love digis and also 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 you the lovely theme of ‘use your favourite digi or stamp’.  Karen would simply like you to use your favourite digi or stamp on your creations this week.  Now if you are anything like us you have lots of favourites which can change from day to day so will accept multiple entries as usual.  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 brand new to PFM this year – Conie Fong - and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store (single images only).  All of the DT have used images from Conie Fong on their cards this week.

Conie Fong is a self-taught artist residing in California, USA with her husband, daughter, pet hamster and fishes.  In her early childhood years, she was inspired by every kind of art and crafts.  She loved watching demonstrations by artists on the streets and at festivals and spent most of her free time perusing arts and crafts books in the library, drawing, crafting and experimenting with her art supplies at home.  Conie first started sharing her art with the world by selling ACEO reprints of her ACEO paintings of fairies, mermaids, and kitty art on eBay in 2010.  She was a full time account manager for a University before becoming a full time mom and part time artist.  She currently enjoys spending time with her family traveling, exploring the outdoors, and designing beautiful, cute, and magical art for craft and coloring lovers.

Conie has also kindly offered a 25% discount code to her store to everyone (you can even share with your friends).  Please use this code at checkout for 25% off your total spend – PASSIONFORMARKERS25 (valid between 21st-28th February only).  

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):
