Week 183 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters.  We hope you had a good week last week and thankfully most of us have seen the snow disappear at long last.  Weren’t the storms crazy on the weekend, it literally lit up the sky in South Wales and the thunder was so loud!  I hope that if you have been affected by any flooding that it passes really quickly and doesn’t leave any lasting damage. 

Before we announce the details of the brand new challenge we would like to say a huge thank you for all your wonderful entries into last week’s “favourite colour combo”.  The DT had a fantastic time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  It was certainly a popular challenge and it was really lovely to see some many entries.  Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Nic has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to find out who the lucky winner of the 7 digis courtesy of Bugaboo stamps will be.

Ok onto this week’s challenge, which has been set by Pinky from Team 2 and she has chosen “add sparkle” which I think will prove equally as popular this week.  You can add your sparkle in lots of different ways i.e. gems, glitter, stickles, glittered backing papers etc.  I think it’s going to be a very girly week this week lol!  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, metallic markers, neon markers or tria markers) and of course follow the theme.

Our generous sponsor this week is Whiff of Joy stamps and they are offering a prize of 1 stamp of the winner’s choice.
