Glitter Me Silly

Well, unbelievably my blog is exactly 1 year old today!! I have made so many lovely friends in that year and am lucky enough to be on three totally fantastic designs teams. I have learnt so much from my fellow blogging buddies and if you were to look back at my first posts you will see just what I mean!! A year ago I didn’t know what ProMarkers were, what HTML meant or had even heard of Sugar Nellie stamps!!!

To celebrate my 1 year blogaversary (and my nearly 200th follower) I have put together a little giveaway. All you have to do to win my somewhat Christmassey-themed candy is this:

1. Spread the word and link my candy on your blog.

2. Tell me what one item is at the top of your Christmas list this year.

3. Help me make it to 200 and become a follower of my blog (not essential but utterly appreciated if you do!). Anyone who follows will be entered twice so make sure you tell me if you are already a follower.

This is open to everyone and I will post worldwide. I will randomly draw a winner on 14th September and entries will close at 8pm.

Good luck and thanks for dropping by.

The theme over at Cupcake Crafts this week is ‘Pearls and Swirls’. I have managed to overcome my fears and not only open my new Papertrey Ink papers but actually cut into them too! I’m certain I heard the barely-audible-to-the-human-ear sound of a million tiny high pitched voices screaming in pain as I did it, but cut I did!! These papers are called Pink Patterns and are just completely GORGEOUS, as are all the papers I’ve seen from PTI. I have paper-pieced the polka dot paper for her dress and hat and coloured the rest of her with ProMarkers. The swirl is cut from the Home Accents Cricut cart ( cut a sheet of them so be prepared to see it again!!). The sentiment is also Papertrey Ink. I’m actually entering this over at the Passion For Papertrey challenge this week as they’re asking for a card in your favourite colour. As I’m totally in love with this paper and pink has always been my fave, I think this qualifies!!

Have a peek at the gorgeous DT cards over on the blog too – as always they are stunning.

Right, off to drag out the ironing board (will it EVER end??)

“THANKS”

Welcome to the Passion For ProMarkers blog hop!
If you have just come from the Passion For ProMarkers blog then you are in the right place!

We are celebrating the launch of the 56 gorgeous new ProMarker colours and have a whole set up for grabs as a prize. How brilliant is that? Letraset have been SOOOO generous to us by donating this prize (and many others for our regular challenges too) and we are all incredibly grateful to them.

What do you need to do for a chance to win?

Visit each of the 11 design teams blogs and leave a comment on their post. Once you have left your comment here then you need to hop on over to Debbi’s blog and then follow her directions from there. To make things a little more interesting, each of us has a word for you to pick up along the way. Mine is “THANKS”.

If you are not sure you are visiting the design team blogs in the right order you can go back to the PFP blog and start from the beginning!

The team have all been playing with the new colours and have made a card. We will each be drawing a name from the hat at the end of the blog hop and one person will win the card PLUS 1 of the new ProMarker colours!!!

My image has been coloured using a few of my favourite colours from the new set: Antique Pink and Burnt orange for the top; Pear green and Moss (not new) on the trousers; caramel, walnut and tan for the hair.

Enjoy the hop and see you back at the main blog at the end where a lucky winner will be picked at random for that unbelievable prize.

Hugs,
