Hello again friends.  We’re back to announce our lucky Winner and Top 5 Passionista for last week’s ‘sketch’ challenge.  We had some really lovely entries and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I’ll be announcing my (Denise) 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 Polkadoodles and they offered one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice.   As always we used random.org and he chose:

Week 672–sketch (& DT call!)

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week and enjoyed the first challenge of the year.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for our ‘new’ challenge; it was so lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 3 digi images courtesy of The Paper Shelter and also who Julie has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by me (Denise) on behalf of Team 2, and I have given you a lovely ‘sketch’ to use.  This week I thought we would have a change and have a sketch to follow; no other rules, except use your markers and have fun.  We hope you enjoy using the sketch and we cannot wait to see what you create.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card. 

Here is the sketch:

Our generous sponsor this week is Polkadoodles and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from Polkadoodles on their cards 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 great 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.  If you haven’t already, don’t forget to grab our logo from the sidebar for your own blogs.

DT call:

Sadly Lisa G. from Team 2 has decided to step down from the DT so we are looking for a new team member to join Team 2.  There are a few conditions that you would need to fulfil to be successful:

* You will need to have excellent colouring skills using markers of course!

* You will need to have a blog and update it regularly, at least once a week.

* You must be able to commit to creating at least one card every fortnight.

* You must have a Facebook account (or be willing to join Facebook) as this is where all the information for the DT will be located.

* You must be able to comment on your allocated number of entries (we have a commenting rota in place).

* Most importantly if selected you can start creating for us straight away.

If you feel you meet all the above then please add DT after your name and we’ll pop over for a look. If you would like more information please feel free to email us (but please don’t apply by email). We will probably keep the call open for next week’s challenge also so there is plenty of time to get your name in the hat.  If you know of someone that may be interested then please let them know about the call.    

We hope you have a great week.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x

Week 400–sketch

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a wonderful week.  I hope you are all coping with the high temperatures at the moment.  I know I’m a killjoy but it’s a little too hot for me, especially in work.  I’ll be moaning it’s too cold/wet next week I expect haha!  Thank you for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘add a sentiment’ challenge, I knew it was going to be a popular one and you didn’t disappoint.  As always it was lovely to see your wonderful entries and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing our gorgeous creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the $12.00 voucher courtesy of Bugaboo stamps and we will also be finding out who Linda has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was originally chosen by Ali from Team 1 before she stepped down from the DT.  As she is not here any longer I will be taking over her challenge this week.  Ali chose to give us an awesome sketch to work with this week.  As long as we can see the basics of the sketch you are free to interpret it as you see fit.  Here is the sketch:

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
