Passion For Promarkers DT


Good morning! How quickly the weeks are passing & it's time for another fab challenge at Passion For Promarkers. This week it was Queen of CAS, Jen's turn to choose our theme. Guess what she chose? 

CLEAN & SIMPLE


This little cutie is by Stampendous. The little snowflakes were a happy accident. I practiced stamping the sentiment several times but of course  made a mistake stamping it on my card,so I used the snowflakes from a Martha Stewart border punch to cover it up. They turned out to be my favourite part.


I very, very rarely do CAS, but I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. It was so quick to make, compared to the usual umming & aaahing I usually do when I try & decide which bit to put where. 

Go check out the wonderful creations of my fellow D-Teamies on the Passion For Promarkers website. We are sponsored by the lovely people at Letraset this week, who are offering our lucky winner a six pack of Flexmarkers.


I would like to enter this at Cute Card Thursday, where this week, 'Anything Goes'.

So that's all from me for now. Hope you're having a great week. Thanks so much for looking.

Big Hugs,
Andie xx

Divas By Design DT


Hurrah! We're half way through the working week (nearly!) & it's time for another wonderful challenge at Divas By Design. This week we have another nice simple challenge for you to

USE YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR SCHEME


I've been playing with the Sugar Nellie Fairy Glen Stamps again. This is 'No Shell like Home'. It's just too cute! I've coloured her with Distress Inks & added super sparkly silver glitter & gems to her wings. I also gave the snails nice glossy 'homes' by covering their shells with Glossy Accents. The papers are Prima - Rondelle.


I hope you'll now pop on over to the Divas By Design blog to see the faulous creations of my fellow D-Teamies. We are sponsored this week by Iva Nova Chest who sell a fabulous array of charms & flowers & other wonderful goodies.




I am also entering this at The Sugar Bowl where 'Anything Goes'.

I also used sketch #77 at Papertake Weekly for my layout, though I had to leave the sentiment off as it didn't sit so well on my card.

So there you go for now. That's it form me for today. Thanks so much for looking.

Big Hugs,
Andie xx

Divas By Design Tagged!


Hello! Back with my DT card for Divas By Design. This week we want to see cards with

TAGS

This has been my first chance to play with the new Fairy Glen stamps from Sugar Nellie. She coloured with Distress Inks & the papers are Prima.


I used my favourite technique for fairy wings. I covered them in Crackle Glaze & then Sprinkled a little Glamour Dust over them. I also added Glamour Dust to her dress to hide the fact I didn't colour it as well as I wanted!


Here's my tag, cut from the Pedastal Tag by Shape EZ, who are our sponsor this week.



Check out the fabulous inspiration of my fellow D-Teamies at the Divas By Design blog.

I would like to enter this at the Sugar Bowl.

At Totally Gorjuss, they simply want to see something 'Sweet'. Could this little cutie be any sweeter?

That's it from me today. Thanks so much for looking.

Big Hugs,
Andie xx

Passion For Promarkers DT



Good morning one & all! Hope you're all feeling full of the joys of summer, now that it's finally arrived! I'm not complaining, but it's actually a bit too hot right now, but it feels good doesn't it?!

Well after the fabulous weekend of sport we've just enjoyed here in Great Britain, it's time for a bit of flag waving, well almost. Our new challenge at Passion For Promarkers this week is to use the

COLOURS OF YOUR FLAG


My Kraftin Kimmie beauties have been a bit neglected of late, so I plucked out Sophia to make a birthday card for my for my friend at work, with whom I was going out to celebrate with a few cocktails. (We had a good time, though my head was a little thick the next day!) The papers are Papermania - Portobello Rd.


I hope you'll pop on over to the Passion For Promarkers website to see the wonderful inspiration of my fellow D-Teamies. Our lucky winner this week will receive a prize from our fabulous sponsor, Polkadoodles.




I would like to enter this at Creative Inspirations where the theme is Red, White & Blue.

So is everyone else out swept up in the tide of Murray-mania like me? Wasn't he just awesome. WOW!!! I doubt people outside of the UK can appreciate just how much pressure & media spotlight to try & win Wimbledon Andy Murray was under. I don't think any other single sportsman in the world carries the weight of a nations hopes & dreams on his shoulders in the way he has had to. Over the past 12months he has done Great Britain, Scotland & Dunblane proud. What a fantastic achievement. How long before we're calling him Sir Andy? Don't forget our wonderful British Lions too. What a brilliant weekend of sport we've been revelling in. Bring on the Ashes!
So anyhow. That's all from me for now. Thanks so much for looking.
Big Hugs,

Passion For Promarkers DT - Name that Tune

Hello! Time for another Passion For Promarkers challenge. This week we've got another fun theme. Get your thinking caps on because we want to see cards
INSPIRED BY A SONG


My card is inspired by a rather catchy Rhianna song - Umbrella, you may have heard of it, LOL! My hubby guessed it first time when I asked him! This is Sweet Oklahoma by Saturated Canary sold in aid of a family in Moore hit by the recent tornado. You can read Mari's terrifying story of the dreadful day here.


For further inspiration, hop on over to the Passion For Promarkers blog to see the fabulous inspiration of my feloow D-Teamies. Looks like we all had fun with this one. This week we are sponsored by Bugaboo, who are offering our lucky winner 7 digis.

See you later. Thanks for looking.
