My first DT cards for A Spoonful of Sugar!!

So how excited am I to have my cards as part of a design team? I was all a cafuffle over what to do which is why I ended up with 2!! Hopefully for next weeks challenge my nerves won’t get the better of me and I’ll manage to stay a bit more focussed. lol

Oh and I have been given another award, this time by Tonya from Olde Country Creations. She does lovely work so go and have a look. Thank you so much hunny, this is much appreciated.

I’m passing it on to Steph at Much Ado About Nothing as she has the biggest heart and is always so generous to all her crafting buddies.

Friday Sketchers challenge – I’ve used my promarkers!

I hope I’m not being too boring but I just can’t resist using this stamp over and over again! I’ve never had this before. Normally I use a stamp a couple of times and then move on to something new but Daisy is just such a beautiful image – she’s irresistable.

I have coloured her this time with my new promarkers which I love. I’m still getting used to them and am not sure I really know what I’m doing – especially with the belnding pen – but I love the even colour you get compared to the watercolours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not giving them up but am glad I’ve got something as an alternative.

Anyway, this card is my take on the sketch over at the Friday Sketchers challenge. At first I thought it looked a bit basic but I totally loved using it and will definitley use it again. Did you notice the stitching again too? Can’t seem to stay away from that sewing machine right now.

Go and visit this brand new blog – it’s gorgeous!

Ok, you may accuse me of being a bit of an enabler here and you’d be right to do so but I want to tell you about a new blog dedicated to the gorgeous Papertrey Ink brand. I am only just discovering how pretty this stuff is and have discovered it through a blog I visit every day, Much Ado About Nothing. Steph makes absolutley amazing cards and uses a lot of products by PTI as well as SU!. She and her friend Kate have just launched this new blog, A Passion for Papertrey which will have challenges and loads of ideas from their DT. I am nothing to do with them but just wanted to support Steph and Kate by helping to promote their fledgling blog – I think it’s going to be a huge success.

Right, I’m off to have a look at what’s on offer in the PTI shop. Hubby’s out for the night so he’ll know nothing about it until it appears on the bank statement. I think there should be some way of masking our purchases from unwelcome eyes – couldn’t the purchases appear on the statement as something else that they would never dare say anything about us buying? Feminine hygiene products maybe? lol
