Week 756 - Christmas

Good morning lovely crafters; we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week's 'shaped cards' challenge.  Unfortunately it didn't seem to inspire you but 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.  Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 2 digi images courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps and also who Kitty has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sue from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘Christmas'.  Sue would like you to simply make a Christmas themed creation this week.  We know some of you are super organised and are already well on your way to making your Christmas cards and decor but some of you haven’t even started yet and hopefully this challenge will give you a little kickstart!!  Easy peasy, so let’s see lots of entries. Don't forget 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 Dies to Die For and Tracy is offering one lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in her 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):
