Week 805 - for a boy

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘anything but square’ challenge.  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.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our winner of the 2 images courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps and also revealing who Sarah has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Wendy from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘for a boy'. Wendy would like you to make something for the younger males this week; it can be for a baby boy, a child or even a teenager.  Now we know that male creations are probably not your favourite but you know you have to make them sometimes so why not join in our challenge and get ahead.  We can’t wait to see what you come up with.  Don't forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is RAM Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  All of the DT have used images from RAM Stamps 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):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

You can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card. 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!
