Week 231–Theme

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  It was lovely to see so many entries for last week’s ‘just a fairytale’ challenge and the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  Don’t forget to come back later to find out Kelly has chosen as her top 5 passionista and to see who the lucky winner of the Letraset prize will be. 

Onto the new challenge, which has been chosen by Nat from Team 2 and she has given us a theme of “ribbon, lace or twine”.  Nat would like you to use either ribbon, lace or twine (or if you’re feeling adventurous all three!) on your creations this week.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.

We are extremely lucky to have 2 generous sponsors this week.  Firstly our regular monthly sponsor DigiStamp Boutique is offering one lucky winner a prize of a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

Our second sponsor is Michele R Designs who is offering one lucky winner a prize of $10.00 worth of digi papers which are available from Whimsy stamps.

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created gorgeous cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
