Week 169–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Hello again crafters. We’re back to announce the lucky winner and top 5 passionista for last week’s “for a man/youth” challenge. The DT were pleasantly surprised to see so many fantastic entries, as we know from personal experience that male cards are not our favourite ones to make. You all certainly seemed to find the challenge easy and there were lots of amazing creations for the DT to drool over!

Firstly let’s find out who the lucky winner of the Letraset new promarker collectors set will be and as always, to be fair, we used random.org and he chose:

No. 41

Lindsay

Congratulations Lindsay, what a fun image and your colour scheme is gorgeous. Please email us and we will arrange for you to receive your prize.

No onto the top 5 passionista and Heidi had such a difficult task this week to narrow her favourites down to just 5. However after much deliberation here are her top 5 passionista:

Week 170 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters. Well another week has zoomed by and we are another week closer to the big ‘C’ lol! I hope you all had a wonderful week and judging by the number of entries to our “man/youth” challenge, you lot can tackle anything we throw at you lol! The DT all had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and were really impressed by your amazing creations. Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Heidi has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the New Promarker collector set courtesy of Letraset.

Now onto this week’s challenge and it’s the turn of Anja from Team 2 to set the theme and she has chosen “shabby in pink or blue”. In case you’re not sure what we mean by ‘shabby’ here is some of the definition of shabby chic from Wikipedia:

"The essence of today's shabby chic style is vintage and antique furniture with the original aged paint, or painted white (or another soft pastel colour) and distressed at the corners by sanding. Besides white, the Shabby Chic style also includes soft neutral colours such as sky blue, rose pink and beige tones".

So basically you must choose to use just pink or blue as your main colour and add some distressing/ageing to your creations. Don’t forget to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (pro, flex, aqua, flex, metallic or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.

Our sponsor this week is DigiStamp Boutique and one lucky winner will receive 6 digi images of their choice from Sally-Ann’s store.

Design Team 2 have created amazing samples as always for your inspiration (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
