Mo’s Digital Challenge #7 – Recipe

Challenge 7 - recipe

For my third challenge as hostess over at Mo’s Digital Challenge I have created a recipe to follow:

3 different papers

2 ribbons

1 decorative edge.

I have chosen some LUSH papers from the My Mind’s Eye Wonderful Winter collection (almost shed a tear cutting into them!) and teamed them with some ribbons I had from a QVC buy.  The decorative edge is my Martha zig zag punch.  I have used a gorgeous image from Mo – the colours are more vibrant IRL – the problem with trying to take a decent photo at night!  They’re coloured with PMs and the fluff on their coats, if you can see it is white flower soft – my new best friend!!

It’s also time for the monthly Blog Hop over at Mo’s blog too.  This time you need to start with Mel the girls on the other team have surpassed themselves yet again, the work is amazing.

Hope you can pop over to the blog to see this week’s DT card, they’re GORGEOUS as always.

Hugs,

Passion for Promarkers # – Burnt Umber and Marsh Green

DOUBLE DT DAY – PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY SPOONFUL OF SUGAR POST.

Week 25 - burnt umber and marsh green

Our challenge this week at Passion For Promarkers is to use the colours Burnt Umber and Marsh Green.  I have to admit I was a little perturbed at first but once I found the paper (from the Earth Love Mini Deck by Cosmo Cricket available at Bunny Zoe’s Crafts) I was much happier.  I adore this stamp by Whiff of Joy – Elisabeth Bell draws hair so beautifully. 

Our sponsor this week is Letraset and they are offering the winner a pack of 5 ProMarkers – yay!

Hope to see you over at the blog – the DT creations this week (as always) are fantastic.  We also have the talented Barbara as our GDT so be sure to check it all out.

A Spoonful of Sugar #78 – Baby’s First Christmas

Challenge 78 - baby's first Christmas

Challenge 78 - baby's first Christmas single

We’re asking to see cards and projects for a baby or pre-schooler’s Christmas this week over at ASOS.  This was a handy challenge for me as it got me round to making a couple of wee cards for my new nephews both born in the last few months.  I love the latest release from Pink Petticoat – aren’t these the cutest little penguins?  I added the text to the image in Photoshop and then coloured the image very simply and quickly with PMs.  I have also been playing with my latest MS icicle border punch and white flower soft.  Been seeing this a lot on cards so had to get some – it’s a nice alternative to stickles or puffy stuff which is what I would usually use.

Our sponsor this week is our fabulous Nikki and she is offering a new Flapper Anya Greeting Farm stamp to the lucky winner.

Hope to see you over at the blog.
