Thank you Nichole

I am sharing this card today to join in the appreciation thread going on over on the forum at Papertrey Ink.  This is a wee card to say to Nichole, the DT, the admin peeps and anyone else involved in making the whole PTI machine work that they are so appreciated and loved by so many customers worldwide.  I am also thankful to all the other forum members who have reminded me about where my priorities lie and that anniversary set or no anniversary set – PTI rocks 110%.  I have winged and whined a little bit about not getting mine but I have realised that it really doesn’t matter how long it takes, or even if it never comes – I buy the products be I like them – full stop!!  Thanks EVERYONE!

Glamour Girls

The gorgeous Sandra at Gotta Craft sent me the most PERFECT stamp and papers to play with last week- I just adore them.  The stamp is from the Greeting Farm Cheeky collection – and the papers are from the Echo Park range.
Here’s a couple of cards I made – isn’t that stamp soooo gorgeous?!  The first card was made with my friend Saffron in mind, and it just so happens it was her birthday last week too.  The image just completely reminded me of her – which is why I coloured with pink hair!

Passion for AquaMarkers

A quick post from me this morning to share this wee card I made as part of my August Featured Stamper slot over on Passion for Papertrey.  I absolutely adore this set which is called In Bloom, it’s so amazing to colour and layer up for a 3D effect (not that I’ve done that on this card!!).  It also allowed me to use my new Aqua ProMarkers – which are AMAZING!!  I used Twilight Blue on the flowers and added a little Aquamarine here and there.  If you  keep an eye over on the Passion for ProMarkers blog you will be seeing us DT girls using the Aquamarkers a lot in the coming weeks.  If you fancy using them yourself then I reccommend the 12 pack of colours available from Letraset (you will be blown away by the speed of delivery too) – with the blending and mixing possibilities you can create just about any colour and shade you want – they are fabulous. 

Anyhoo, here’s the card!

You’ll also notice I have used Fancy Flourishes from Papertrey Ink on the background stamped in Enchanted Evening and Aqua Mist.

Right, as we’re going on holiday to Angelsey tommorrow I had better get off this blog and get organised!!

Have a great weekend everyone.
