Week 473–Mega Christmas challenge

Good morning dear crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. The DT really enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing you fabulous creations for our “sparkle and shine” challenge.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who the lucky winner of the 2 digi images courtesy of Leann’s World 101 will be and also to see who Shelly has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

This week we are launching our very special “Mega Christmas challenge” which runs for a whole month and ends on 1st January 2019!  I’m sure you’ll agree that both design teams have worked extremely hard once again this year and they deserve a little break to catch up on their last minute gifts and cards.  However to make up for the lack of challenges we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs!

Our very simple theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is “hip to be square”.  We would like to see your square cards/creations for this challenge.  You are welcome to make Christmas creations but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation as long as you follow the theme.  As time is precious for our DT at this time of year we are limiting the number of entries you can make to just 3 for this month long challenge.  Please remember to be eligible for our prizes you must use your promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers.  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

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!

Uniko Stamps are offering 1 lucky winner 1 stamp set (must be in stock)

Di's Digi Stamps are offering 1 lucky winner a $12.00 gift voucher

Dr Digi's House of Stamps are offering 1 lucky winner 2 digi images

Lacy Sunshine are offering 1 lucky winner 3 digi images

Cowling & Wilcox are offering 1 lucky winner a 6 pack of promarkers (metallic) & a 3 pack of neon markers

The Paper Shelter are offering 1 lucky winner 3 digi images

A Day For Daisies are offering 1 lucky winner a $12.00 gift voucher

Dies to Die For are offering 1 lucky winner a £15.00 gift voucher

Wow we are sure you’ll agree our sponsors have been super generous once again this year!

We have asked both design teams to share some inspiration with you but as it such a long challenge we will be posting the inspiration from Team 2 today and then in two week’s time we will be posting inspiration from Team 1. So here are the gorgeous cards from team 2 (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Elaine

Jacky

Karen

Kitty

Linda

Lorraine C. 

Nat

Donna

No card, still recuperating.

Wow we’re sure you’ll agree that their cards are stunning.

So to re-cap the challenge will run until 1st January 2019 and you can enter a maximum of 3 times.  Unfortunately during the Mega Christmas challenge we will not be choosing a top 5 passionista but this will re-commence for the first challenge in 2019.

We cannot wait to see your creations and look forward to visiting your blogs. We’ll be back on 18th December to share Team 1’s gorgeous selection of cards, so don’t forget to stop by for more wonderful inspiration.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x

Week 448–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Hello again friends, I’m back to announce our lucky winner and top 5 passionista for last week’s “make it manly” challenge.  It was fantastic to see your lovely entries and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  We’ll be announcing Hazel’s top 5 passionista in a moment but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Lacy Sunshine who offered one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 13

Nick

Congratulations Helene, your card is so much fun.  I love the image and your colouring is perfect.  Please email us at promarkerchallenge@gmx.com and we will arrange for you to receive your prize.

Now onto the top 5 passionista and Hazel had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing all your amazing creations.  She had a tough decision this week but after much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

Crafty

CraftyNatalie

Jane

Krafted Kards

NanaConnie

Congratulations ladies, you can now proudly display the top 5 passionista blinkie on your blogs.  If you need any help with this please email us at promarkerchallenge@gmx.com.

Sadly we have to re-draw our Week 446 winner as our re-drawn winner did not contact us to claim their prize of 2 digi images courtesy of Dr Digi’s House of Stamps.  Again using random.org the 2nd re-drawn winner is:

No. 7

Diane Louise

Congratulations Diane Louise, your card is so pretty.  I love the sweet image and your colouring is perfect.  Please contact us at promarkerchallenge@gmx.com and we will arrange for you to receive your prize.

We hope you all have a wonderful week and find some time to enter our current challenge ‘bears r us’ – full details in the post below.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x

Week 448–make it manly

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week and you’re enjoying the lovely warm weather we’re having at the moment.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘summer fun’ challenge; as always it was lovely to see 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 $10.00 voucher courtesy of Some Odd Girl and we will also be finding out who Lorraine C. has chosen as her  top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Hazel from Team 1, and as Father’s Day is just around the corner (this coming Sunday in the UK) she has given us a theme of ‘make it manly’ this week.  As the title suggests Hazel would like you to make something for those ‘difficult’ males in your life!!  It doesn’t have to be a Father’s Day card as we are aware that sadly not everyone still has their dad with them, so any male creation will be accepted.  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 Lacy Sunshine and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Their images are so much fun so why not pop over to their store and check them out.  Some of the DT were lucky enough to use images from Lacy Sunshine on their creations this week.



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):
