Week 736 - for a boy

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘check it out’ 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 lucky winner who will receive the 4 digi images courtesy of Lili of the Valley and we will also be finding out who Lisa has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Wendy from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘for a boy' to inspire you this week.  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 Di's Digi Stamps and she is offering one lucky winner a £6.00 voucher to spend in her online store.  

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 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.

We hope you have a fun and crafty week.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
