Week 573–birthdays

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you are ready for our first challenge of 2021.  First things first, have you noticed our new Passion for Markers blog header designed by our very own DT member Lisa M. – what do you think?  We hope you love it as much as we do.  We also have a new logo in the sidebar that you can grab for your own blogs and we will also have new winner and top 5 badges from this challenge onwards.  So remember going forward from this challenge you can enter our challenges using any markers you like such as Copics, Spectrum Noir, Zig Clean Color Brush markers, Karin Markers etc.  Of course most of us will still be using our beloved promarkers but all are welcome. 

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  The last month has just whizzed by hasn’t it!  Thank you for all your lovely entries for our Mega Christmas challenge challenge.  It was amazing to see all your gorgeous entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing all our lucky winners – how exciting. 

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lisa M. from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘birthdays’.  As the title suggests Lisa wants to see all your birthday creations this week.  I don’t think it can get any easier than that to start us off this year.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  So pull out your favourite markers and get colouring.  

Our generous sponsor this week is Lee Holland Designs and he is offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from his 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):

Another week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Don’t forget there is still time to win a £10.00 voucher if you share our post over on Facebook which announced the changes to our challenge rules (we will be closing it on Friday) so get over to FB and spread the word.

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x

Happy New Year!

Good morning crafty friends, and a very Happy New Year to you!  We hope that 2021 brings us all a better and brighter year and things can start to get back to some sort of ‘normal’.  Crafting kept us sane in 2020 and I’m sure it will continue to give us hope and stability again this year.

We are interrupting you this morning with some exciting news regarding our challenge blog.  We have decided from the first challenge on 5th January 2021 we will be opening our challenges to ALL types of markers.  We of course still love our promarkers but we have to move with the times and we know lots of crafters love their Copics, Spectrum Noirs, Zig markers, Karin markers and lots more so whatever type of marker you use you will be welcome at our challenges from January 2021. 

To make our challenge more visible we are going to update and refresh our name to ‘Passion for Markers’ and will have a new blog header and badges which are amazing and designed by our very own design team member Lisa M.  We can’t wait for you to see them.  Nothing else will change, the challenges will still be every Tuesday morning at 9am, the design team will continue to make amazing creations to inspire you each week, our generous sponsors are still supporting our challenges with their fantastic prizes and we will remain a friendly, happy part of blogland to brighten your world each week. 

We hope you will continue to support our challenges as you did in 2020.  We want to spread the word of the changes to our challenge so we would love it if you pop over to Facebook and share this post.  As a thank you we will be putting all the names of everyone who shares the post into a hat and the lucky winner will win a £10 voucher to whichever craft store they wish (or if you prefer a 10€ or $10 to a craft store in Europe/US).  You must share the original post on the Passion for Promarkers Facebook page (this will change to Passion for Markers very soon). 

Don’t forget you still have a few more days to enter our Mega Christmas challenge with a chance to win one of the awesome prizes we have up for grabs so please use the linky here (only 3 entries per person please and only promarkers allowed for this last challenge).

Stay safe and here’s to a brand new year at PFM!

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
