Week 717 - winter

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘occasions other than birthday’ challenge.  It was lovely to have you join us 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 receive the 2 digi images of their choice courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps and we will also be finding out who Marlene has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Kitty from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘winter' to inspire you this week.  Kitty would simply like you to make something winter related.  We will of course accept Christmas creations but it could also be a winter inspired birthday etc.  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please remember you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw.  So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Colour of Love Digis and they are offering one lucky winner 3 images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Colour of Love on their creations this week.  

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):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.
