Week 214 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Well can you believe we are in September already and the kiddies are starting back to school!!  The time certainly does fly in the school holidays doesn’t it?  Good luck to all the little ones starting their brand new schools (be brave mums!). 

Thank you for your gorgeous entries to last week’s “recipe” challenge.  There weren’t as many entries as we thought there would be but nevertheless the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your wonderful creations.  Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Nic has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the 7 digis courtesy of Bugaboo.

Onto this week’s challenge which has been set by Kelly from Team 2 and she has chosen “pink and pearly”.  A nice simple challenge this week, just make a card using the colour pink and add some pearls and your all set!  Don’t forget, as always, to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, tria markers, metallic markers or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.   Sadly this will be Frida’s last challenge with us as she is stepping down from the DT.  I’m sure you will join me in wishing her well for the future.  Thank you Frida for all your gorgeous creations for us. 

Our generous sponsor this week is Letraset and one lucky winner will receive a 6 pack of Flex Markers. 

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and you are going to be amazed by their gorgeous cards (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
