Week 374–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

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

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Clearly Besotted Stamps who offered one lucky winner 1 stamp set of their choice (which must be in stock).  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 6

Congratulations Alison, your tag looks super cute.  The image is coloured perfectly and Jasper looks like he is really enjoying that Christmas pudding!  Please email us and we will arrange for you to receive your prize.

Now onto the top 5 passionista and Lisa had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and she could have chosen you all as her passionista!!  However after much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

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.

We hope you all have a wonderful couple of weeks and find some time to enter our brand new month long Mega Christmas challenge and the theme is a very simple ‘use your dies and/or punches’ – full details in the post below.  Don’t forget to come back in 2 weeks time for part 2 of our challenge when we will be showcasing the beautiful creations from Team 1.

Week 374–Eat, drink & be merry!

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your entries for last week’s ‘3 favourite colours’ challenge.  As always it was lovely to see your wonderful entries and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the Winsor & Newton 12 pack of Promarkers (neutral tones) and we will also be finding out who Karen has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lisa from Team 1, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘eat drink & be merry’.  Lisa would simply like you to make a creation that includes some form of food or drink on it.  Lisa would love to see all your Christmas creations but it doesn’t have to be Christmas themed, you can create anything you like for any occasion as long as there is some food and/or drink on it.  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  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) and of course follow the theme.  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

Our generous sponsor this week is Clearly Besotted Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 1 stamp set of their choice (which must be in stock) from their online store.  I know the store is currently closed but Jenny will very kindly send the chosen stamp set out straight away!  They have so many gorgeous stamps to choose from you will be spoilt for choice!

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):

Lisa

Marie

Nic

Shelly

No card, Shelly is still poorly.

Ali

Eileen

Hazel

Julie

No card this week, Julie is galavanting in France!

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.

This is the last week before our month long Mega Christmas challenge begins on 6th December, how exciting.  We have lots of amazing sponsors which means lots of fantastic prizes up for grabs. 

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x
