Glitter Me Silly

HAPPY BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY!!
It was DT member Erin’s turn to pick the challenge this week at Cupcake Crafts and she chose to do a recipe. This was inspired by the fact that her little girl is turning 2 so her challenge is based on the number 2!! I have to admit when she said she wanted to see our number 2’s I did titter somewhat (mind of a 2 year old myself sometimes!). So this is what she asked for:

For my 2 colours I went for red and pastel blue, taken from the gorgeous Stampin Up! Summer Picnic paper which I seem to be using on EVERY card these days!! I have cheated a bit with a wee touch of green on the grass and there is green on the paper too but if you pretend that’s not there then there are just the two colours!! My image is from one of my new Pink Gem stamps, Sprinkles on a toadstool. She’s gorgeous isn’t she? The scalloped border is my Martha Stewart punch and I have also punched some daisies for my other shape (as well as the rectangle mat for the image). The image is coloured with promarkers (poppy and berry red on the toadstool and pastel blue and cornflower blue on the fairy. Yellow, lemon, canary, gold, and mustard on the hair and satin and blush on the toadstool base). The wings and crown have been glamour dusted with crystal and gold respectivley!!

The other DT girls have done a fantastic job as ever this week so pop on over for a wee look. Hope you can join us in the challenge.

Speaking of challenges, it is now just one more sleep until the Passion For Promarkers challenge blog goes live!! The whole team are just SOOOO excited and can’t wait for it all to kick off tomorrow. If you haven’t been already then please go on over to the blog and just have a look at the fabulous prizes on offer for this first challenge. To enter all you need to do is incluse at least one promarker colour on your creation and you could be in with a chance of winning. Hope to see as many of you as possible.

Just popping on to let you all know about something quite remarkable!! We all found out earlier today and have been sitting on our hands waiting for the Ok from Gina and Denise to be able to shout about it. The fabby new blog Passion For Promarkers is now proudly sponsored by 3 awesome crafting giants – Angel Crafts, Joanna Sheen and Dies To Die For. Gina and Denise have been working their little cotton socks off to get this venture up and running and we are all SO excited about our launch on Tuesday (one of the DT has even taken the day off work)! Now, you will all be thinking “Yay, that’s fantastic” but you haven’t heard the half of it. The first challenge is going to be an open “Anything Goes” challenge (a change to the scheduled first challenge which will now move to the second week). This means you can use any colour in the promarker range. You can enter as many cards as you like as long as you use promarkers on them. Now, you are not going to believe this but the prizes up for grabs in the first challenge are going to blow your socks clean off your feet. I’m am so bitter about the fact that I can’t enter!!!

Go on, read it again…. no you didn’t imagine it! How amazing is that? Full details are on the blog, HERE so go and check it out. All you need to be in with a chance is 1 promarker (which all 3 of our sponsors sell) and your card could be the winner!!

Please spread the word on your blogs so that as many people can hear about this fabby prize as possible.

I’m so excited about it all and can’t wait for Tuesday. Hope you all join us.

Hugs,
