Announcing Digi-Friday!!

As many of you know we have our weekend workshop every Friday where one of the DT share an amazing tutorial and hints and tips of new ways to use your promarkers.  Well we have some exciting news to share with you.  Beginning today we will be having Digi Friday on the weekend workshop.  We have secured lots of brilliant digi companies to sponsor us and during the Digi-Friday one of the DT will be using their images for their tutorial. 

Now for the exciting bit…… every week we will be drawing one random comment from the Digi Friday post (on the weekend workshop blog) to win a fantastic prize donated by our sponsor.  Please only one comment per person, duplicates will be deleted.  The winner will be announced in next week’s Digi Friday. 

Our sponsor this week is Soft Pencil and Caryn is using one of their digi images for her tutorial.  The lucky winner this week will receive a $15.00 voucher to spend in their online shop.  Wow!  I sure you’ll agree that’s a prize worth winning!

Week 40 – colour combo & theme

Well the week’s are just flying by aren’t they? It only seems like yesterday I was writing last week’s post!! The DT would like to say a huge thank you for all the wonderful entries to our ‘buttons and bows’ theme last week – Sue is definitely going to have a hard time choosing just 5 from all the gorgeous cards submitted. Please check back later to find out who has won the 5 pack of promarkers donated by Letraset and who Sue has picked as her top 5 passionista.

This week’s theme has been chosen by our GDT Tracy and she would like you to use the colours tulip yellow and baby pink and include stitching on your projects. You can dig out your sewing machines or even just add some faux stitching – it’s entirely up to you! Don’t forget you can use other colours of promarkers but the challenge colours must the predominant ones on your image.

Our sponsor this week is Craft Obsessions and one lucky winner will receive this gorgeous 8x8 album:
