I’ve been a naughty girl!!

I couldn’t hold off any more and have ordered some promarkers from Silly Monkey!! I hummed and hawed for about 2 hours over which ones to go for so in the end opted for Manga sets 1 and 3 and a couple of single ones. I have no idea how to use them but am hoping (hint, hint) that promarker extraordinaire Dawny P might be able to give me a few tips when I get to her card club in a couple of weeks. I didn’t quite make it to the last one because of the snow so am determined that I’ll get to the next one. If anyone else has any useful tips for me in the meantime I’d be most grateful!!

Hugs,

Sundaes on a Tuesday!!


Here’s a couple of cards I’ve done using the gorgeous new download from Pink Petticoat. I love the soft ice-creamy colours – they are so yummy. Actually, I think my sweet tooth is manifesting itself in my crafts – the last few cards I’ve made have all had a kind of “sweet” theme!!
The second card is actually my take on this weeks sketch at A Spoonful of Sugar – great sketch Debbie. I still can’t believe I’m actually on their DT now. I’m still pinching myself!!
I’m entering them at The Pink Elephant challenge which this week is “All that Glitters”. Although it’s tricky to see, the sundaes are covered in glamour dust which is my favourite glitter EVER!

I am SO excited I could burst!!

I cannot believe it yet but I have been asked to join the design team at A Spoonful of Sugar challenge blog!! Debbie emailed me this afternoon and obviously I accepted the offer in a flash. I am so utterly thrilled and flattered to be asked and amazingly honoured to be amongst a group of such talented designers as those on the team. It’s a wee dream come true for me!!

Another good thing about getting this news is that it has managed to see off the hangover I have been suffering with all day! We had a Valentine’s dinner party last night and managed to consume 7 bottles of wine and various cocktails between the 6 of us! The night culminated in a chorus of ABBA singstar numbers – boys v girls – and a very late night. It was a lot of fun and thankfully my chocolate fondants turned out fine! Phew!

Off to smile annoyingly for the rest of the day and tonight I am going to make my first card as an official DT member for A Spoonful of Sugar!! How cool is that?
