Week 732 - use 3 of anything

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘Easter’ 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 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up Stamps and we will also be finding out who Sue has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Linda from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘use 3 of anything' to inspire you this week.  Linda doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as you have 3 of something on your creations.  It can be 3 images, 3 embellishments, 3 papers etc, it’s entirely up to you.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  Such a brilliant theme, don't you agree; we can’t wait to see what you make.  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 Leann's World 101 and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Leann's World 101 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):

3 layers, 3 coffee beans, 3 sets of 3 buttons
