Week 785 - pastel colours

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week and had a fun Easter weekend.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘Easter' challenge; as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will win the £6.00 voucher courtesy of Di's Digi Stamps and we will also find out who Wendy has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Lorraine from Team 1 and she has given us a theme of ‘pastel colours'. Lorraine has given you a fun challenge this week; she simply wants to see all your soft pastel colours, so think light pink, lemon, lavender, baby blue etc.  We cannot wait to see what you come up with.  Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw.  So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Lili of the Valley who are offering one lucky winner a prize of 4 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from LOTV 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):

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.

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Week 138–Colour challenge

Good morning dear crafters.  Another week has flown by and we’re here with our last challenge for February! Can you believe that two months of 2012 have already passed us by – where is the time going.   Whilst you are pondering that (lol!) we would like to thank you for your gorgeous entries to last week’s “black & white'” challenge.  There were some stunning creations and Nic will certainly have hard decision to narrow her favourites down to just 5.  Don’t forget to check back later to find out who she has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are our lucky winner of the 2 digi images courtesy of Tickled Pink stamps. 

Onto this week’s challenge and Vix has set the theme and she has chosen “pastel colours” so we would like to see all your soft colours – nothing bright and brash allowed this week!! Don’t forget to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers or aqua markers) and follow the theme.

We are spoiling you this week as we have two sponsors for you. Firstly we have DigiStamp Boutique and Sally-Ann is offering one lucky winner 6 digi images of their choice.

Our second sponsor is Letraset and as Vix has chosen the theme of pastel colours they are offering us a pack of Limited Edition Spring 2012 Promarkers.

 

The design team have created amazing samples for your inspiration once again this week (as always please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Stunning cards girls.  I’m sure the DT have inspired you to join in the fun this week.  We cannot wait to see what you create and visit your blogs. 

Could we please ask that if you still have word verification on your blogs that you consider turning it off.  As most of you know the new system requires you to copy two words to verify that you’re not a robot – but unfortunately they are so difficult to read that sometimes it can take two or three attempts to get it right.  Obviously as you can appreciate this is very time consuming for the DT.  We appreciate your help with this.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x
