Hello again friends; we hope you’ve had a great day so far.  We’re back to announce our lucky Winner and Top 5 Passionista for last week’s ‘birthdays' challenge.  Thank you for all your lovely entries; as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I’ll be announcing Elaine'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 Dr Digi's House of Stamps and they offered one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 5

Congratulations Patsy, what a pretty card. The image is gorgeous and your flowers and papers are beautiful. Please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and let us know which images you would like and we will arrange for them to be sent to you. We hope you will proudly display our winners badge on your blog:

Now onto the Top 5 Passionista and Elaine had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  She thought her theme would be more popular but even so it was a really tough decision and after much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

No. 31

Week 739 - let it bloom

Good morning lovely crafters; we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week's 'birthdays' challenge, although I think you were all too busy enjoying the sunshine to do very much crafting lol!  It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 2 digi images courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps and also who Elaine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marie from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘let it bloom'.  Marie has given you a super easy theme this week and would like to see flowers on your creations.  It could be a floral image, floral papers or even die cut flowers (as long as you also include an image coloured with markers).  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week.  Don't forget you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please remember 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 a new one for us this year - Hetty Clare - and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.   The DT have all used images from Hetty Clare on their creations this week.
