Glitter Me Silly

Over at Passion For Promarkers there is a fabulous tutorial written by our wonderful DT member Michelle. We were kindly given a gorgeous image hand drawn by Ruth, one of our wonderfully talented regular visitors to the blog. She is in the process of having her images made into stamps so watch out for her beautiful work in the near future. She has allowed not just the DT to work their magic with this image but everyone who wishes to have a go too. We are hoping to see lots of wonderful entries on the blog so pop over and print it off and have a go at it yourselves (just please make sure you say where it came from and give Ruth the credit she deserves!!).

I have used Stampin Up papers and CS as well as my Promarkers. Looking forward to seeing your designs.

Those of you who visit me regularly may remember me becoming (prematurely) excited about my SiL being in labour!  As I’m sure you realised it was a false alarm but the good news is that today – baby Benjamin Zac arrived!!  All 8ib 11oz of him!!  That brought a wee tear to my eye (mine were more the 5lb variety)!  But although a bit battered and bruised, mother and baby are fine – phew!  My other SiL is expecting her 4th (we know this one’s another boy too) in 6 weeks so the waiting game isn’t over yet!

I made Kate and Andy this card this afternoon – bought this beautiful WOJ especially for the event!  I have coloured her with PMs and the papers are SU Tea Party.  The sentiment is a rub on.

Right, better go and get some slap on!  Off out tonight for a meal at The Green Room in West Kirby (one of my favourite restaurants).  Can’t wait – I’m startving!

The challenge this week at A Spoonful of Sugar is Weddings. There are some really beautiful DT cards for inspiration on the blog so hop over for a mooch. I have used a stamp by Fun Stamps that has been gathering dust for centuries in my cupboard. I almost for got I had it to be truthful. I have added just a bit of colour with my Promarkers and glamour dusted it here and there. The gorgeous paper is from the Sweet Stack by DCWV – I will be so sad when I use it all up! This is pretty plain compared to what I’ve been doing of late but sometimes it’s nice to do something a bit different!

We are very luck to have Nikki (Bunny Zoe’s Crafts) sponsoring us this week with some fabulous goodies from her new store. If you haven’t checked it out yet then please pop over for a look. She has some very different things – I love the personalised stamps.

Ok, thanks for visiting, have a great Tuesday.
