Week 142–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Oh dear, another very late post from me this week – sorry! It was my mum’s birthday today so I went visiting for tea and cake (yum!) and it was late by the time I got home.

We had lots of gorgeous entries to last week’s “ribbons and buttons” challenge and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. It is a pleasure to see so many regular entrants to our challenges but equally fun to visit new crafters who have just discovered Letraset pens.

Ok on with the post and firstly we are going to announce the lucky winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of Joanna Sheen and we used random.org as always to make it fair and the chosen one is:

No. 41

Dotty Girl

Congratulations Dotty Girl, such a pretty card and your butterflies are gorgeous. Please email us and we will arrange for you to receive your prize.

Onto the top 5 passionista and Kim had such a difficult decision but really enjoyed choosing from all your super cute creations. After much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

Congratulations ladies, you can now proudly display the top 5 passionista blinkie on your blogs. If you need any help with this please email us.

We hope you have a great week and enjoy your Easter weekend – don’t eat too much chocolate (who am I kidding lol!). Please check out our current challenge “whatever the weather” – full details in the post below.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x

Week 143 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you had a brilliant week last week and enjoyed the lovely summery weather we had and we hope you made the most of it ‘cos it seems that winter is back on it’s way to us. Never mind it’s perfect weather for crafting isn’t it? You all seemed to enjoy Kim’s “ribbons and buttons” theme last week and the DT had a fantastic time visiting all your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations. Don’t forget to check back later when we will reveal the lucky winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of Joanna Sheen and also letting you know who Kim has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto this week’s challenge and the lovely Lis has set the theme and she has chosen “whatever the weather” which is quite apt at the moment – we would like to see all your weather related images, papers etc. Don’t forget to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex, tria or aqua markers) and of course follow the theme.

Our sponsor this week is Letraset and they are offering one lucky winner a set of their Limited Edition “spring” promarkers.

We just wanted to let you know that if you still haven’t managed to get your hands on your own pack of Limited Edition “spring” promarkers yet (and you’re not lucky enough to win our prize draw lol) you will have to be quick as Letraset will be stopping production of the Limited Edition sets around the middle of May - so they're not going to be around much longer!

Onto our DT cards and the girls have worked their magic once again this week (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Sorry no card this week!

Denise

Card to follow!

Gro

Heidi

On vacation – lucky thing!

Kim

Stunning cards as always girls. We hope you’ve been inspired to join in with our challenge this week and we cannot wait to see what you create.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x

We had so many gorgeous entries for last week’s “animals” challenge and it was wonderful for the DT to see all your super cute animals whilst visiting your blogs. Firstly we are going to announce the lucky winner of the 6 digi images courtesy of DigiStamp Boutique and as always we used random.org to make it fair. There were 92 linked entries and 1 email entry and the lucky chosen one is:
