Week 518–Christmas is coming

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘use something old’ challenge.  As always it was lovely to see all your wonderful creations and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing the lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of Crafty Sentiments designs and we will also be finding out who Jacky has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marie from Team 1, and she has given us a theme of ‘Christmas is coming’.  Marie would simply like you to make a Christmas creation this week.  I’m sure even if most of you are on schedule with your Christmas makes you can always do with a few extra. We can’t wait to see what you make. Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but 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). Please can you help us by stating which products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc. Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor this week is Cowling & Wilcox who are offering one lucky winner a 6 pack of Promarkers (skin tones set 1).
