Week 509–add buttons

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your entries for last week’s ‘for a birthday’ challenge.  It was lovely to see all your wonderful creations and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the $6.00 voucher courtesy of Di’s Digi Stamps and we will also be finding out who Nic has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Linda from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘add buttons’.  Linda doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as you include some buttons on your creation.  I love using buttons and I’m sure you all have some in a drawer somewhere waiting to be used.  If not why not snip a few off an old shirt; crafty and recycling all in one lol!  We can’t wait to see what you make this week.  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor this week is Cowling & Wilcox they are offering one lucky winner a 6 pack of promarkers (pastel tones). 

Cowling & Wilcox Ltd. was born in London in 1960 and has been going strong supplying the very best art products for nearly 60 years. To this day, they maintain their original concept of providing specialist fine and graphic art materials at exceptional prices, and they’re devoted to upholding this mission statement as they expand and evolve into the future.  Check out their website for some amazing deals on Promarkers and grab them before they sell out!
