Stamp Something Challenge.

I enjoyed this challenge over at Stamp Something for 2 reasons – 1. I love simple cards but always tend to go a bit OTT and they never end up that simple and 2. I need to make quite a few thank you cards after the christening/first communion on Sunday and this challenge has given me oodles of inspiration for some quick yet stunning cards!! Great DT cards over there!

My card is done using the new In My Garden digi from Pink Petticoat. Coloured with – guess what – PMs (maroon, pastel blue, cornflower, gold, lemon and cool grey) and glamour dusted. The paper is Stampin Up (see how much use I’m getting out of them Steph? – I love em all!).

Hugs,

Sunday Sketch and Stamp

I thought this was such a nice sketch so had to have a play. I haven’t followed it EXACTLY because I did the middle mat a wee bit too big and couldn’t fit the text above and blow, hence the off set greeting!!
I don’t think I’ve actually used this Gorjuss girl before but she is so sweet. She’s coloured with promarkers ( poppy, ruby and maroon for the dress and a variety of browns for the hair with a wee bit of cool grey on the legs and shoes). The papers are Stampin Up! (Summer Picnic) and the ribbon is from Rasberry Ribbons.
Right, off to bed!
Hugs,

OMG – EXCITING NEWS!!


I am so utterly thrilled and overwhelmed to be able to tell you that I have been selected to be on the design team for the new challenge blog, Passion for Promarkers. I just found out about an hour ago and so now that it has been announced over on the blog, I can shout it from the rooftops too!! I have become addicted to my lovley promarkers over the last few months so when I saw that there was going to be a whole challenge blog dedicated to them I was so chuffed. Now that I have been chosen for the DT I am just peeing my self with excitement (sorry, TMI)!!

There are 9 of us on the DT all together and I have to say I am in some rather exceptional company. They are all so talented:

Ida – http://ipb.blogspot.com/
Maria – http://mariaadams.wordpress.com/
Michele – http://micheleroos-space.blogspot.com/
Natalie – http://nattykcards.blogspot.com/
Sarah – http://www.lil-paper-pixie.blogspot.com/
Sue – http://slumbercards.blogspot.com/

as well as Gina and Denise

Thank you so much Denise and Gina. I am so honoured to be part of this team and can’t wait for the challenges to begin on 26th May.

Anyone out there who either loves their promarkers or just wants to see what all the the fuss is about, should make sure they get over to the blog on 26th May when the fun kicks off. The first 4 weeks challenge colours are already posted so grab yourself a few pens and have a go.

Well, I’m off to tell hubby all about it and he will look back at me with a vacant smile and say “very nice dear” and go back to his book. Eeeee I’m so excited.
