Passion For ProMarkers #39 – Buttons and Bows

We have a great challenge this week at Passion For Promarkers and that is to use buttons and bows on your project.  You can use any colours you like as long as you use ProMarkers.  I have used this much-neglected Stamping Bella Ketto stamp and she’s matched with papers and card from PTI (Berry Sorbet and Aqua Mist).

Right, off to do some HW – I hate it but the house is like a midden!!

Hope to see you over at PFP.
Hugs,

Love is in the air.

Happy Valentine’s day all my gorgeous crafty friends.  I was treated to a humungus box of Thornton’s choccies this morning and a single red rose – aw.  I actually managed to make my hubby his little gift this year – a box totally inspired by my fabulous friend Steph.

The box is a Sizzix Bigz XL die (Shaker Box) and the papers and stamps are all PTI.  I know I showed the card yesterday but thought the two together looked quite cute!!  Inside I put a chopped up Snickers bar (hubby’s favourite) so I guess this is the cheapest Valentine’s ever!!
Ok, off round to mum and dads for a big Sunday roast later – not exactly romantic dining for two but when you have 5 kids, romance is usually last on the list of priorities!!Lol.

Have a great day everyone.
Hugs,

ETA – thought I’d enter again over at A Passion For Papertrey in their Lurve challenge – they’ll be sick of me over there!!!

Inspired by Kate

I saw a gorgeous card on my friend Kate’s blog today and while I have found myself with a bonus hour or so to myself (unheard of on a Saturday afternoon) I thought I’d knock up a quick Valentine’s card for hubby.  The card is based on the current sketch over at CPS and I’ve used my current favourite papers from PTI along with their Pure Poppy card and ribbon.  The felt heart in the centre (sent to me by aforementioned friend!) is from a little pack of fab embellies by Martha Stewart (I ADORE her and her products).  I am entering this into the challenge at A Passion For Papertrey too which is Be My Valentine.

Right, off to make the most of my time with no kids or demanding husband.
Catchya later!
