Week 114–Winner & top 5 Passionista

Good evening everyone, we’re back to announce the lucky winner of last week’s “no patterned paper” challenge and also to let you know who Denise has chosen as her top 5 passionista.  We had so many gorgeous entries and it was fantastic to see so many of you going without papers for the first time.  The design team certainly picked up lots of new ideas for the next time we have this type of challenge lol! 

First let’s announce the lucky winner of the super cute “which direction” stamp courtesy of Whiff of Joy stamps.  We used random.org and he chose No.32:

Week 115 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you all had a great week last week, and for those of you in the UK we hope you had a fantastic bank holiday weekend. It was wonderful to see all your gorgeous entries last week and it goes to show that we can all create beautiful things even without patterned paper! Denise certainly enjoyed looking at all your creations and we will be back later to announce who she has chosen as her top 5 passionista. We will also be letting you know the lucky winner of the fantastic stamp courtesy of whiff of joy stamps.

Onto this week’s challenge and we have a very special treat for you. As the new Flex Markers are soon to be released the lovely Paul at Letraset has given us an amazing prize for one lucky winner of 2 x 6 packs of Flex Markers – how exciting! Therefore we decided that our challenge this week would be ‘flexible’ i.e. “anything goes”. Don’t forget you must use your promarkers, aqua markers, tria markers or even flex markers to be eligible for our prize draw.

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you’ve had a great week and are raring to go with a brand new challenge.

Why not dig out your background stamps or embossing folders and join in the fun! Just remember you must use your promarkers, aqua markers, tria markers or even flex markers (if you’re lucky enough to have some) to be eligible for our prize draw.
