Passion For Promarkers DT - Fun in the Sun!

Apologies that I have not been able to post this until now, but better late than never! This is my card for the latest Passion For Promarkers Challenge, where our theme is 

FUN IN THE SUN


Jury's out on whether I like this card or not. But I've finally figured out what has been bugging me about it. Why have I put this super cute Lili Pad Fairy from LOTV in the blazing hot sunshine, in what looks like a thick jumper! May have to get rid of the sun, (which is a Lawn Fawn stamp).


So, if you haven't already done so, get yourself on over to the PFP blog to see the wonderful creations of my fab D-Teamies. Our marvellous sponsor, this week, is Sassy Studio Designs, who are offering our lucky winner a choice of 4 digis.

I used the layout at Sketch Saturday for my card, so I would like to enter my card there.


So that all from me for now. Thanks so much for looking.

Big Hugs,

Passion For Promarkers DT

Time for another challenge at Passion For Promarkers, where this week, the wonderful Sue has chosen our theme, which is 

CLEAN & SIMPLE


I've used several Kraftin Kimmie stamps for the retirement card I made for my boss. I was a zig-zag card. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the whole thing. But I put a CAS on each fold of the front & we all signed the back. Warning, the rest is a bit picture heavy!





So now it's time to check out the awesome creations of my fellow D-Teamies at Passion For Promarkers & this week you could win a $12 voucher to spend at Bugaboo stamps

Relaxing at Passion For Promarkers


So, another Tuesday, another new challenge at Passion For Promarkers where we're still in Bank Holiday mode, assuming your Bank Holiday wasn't too hectic! Lovely Kelly has chosen our theme this week & she wants us all to 

KEEP CALM & CHILL OUT



I've used Me Time Anya from The Greetings Farm for this one. I kept it very simple in the hope that the sequins would look like bubbles coming from the bath tub. Not sure it really worked though :(


Have you checked out the wonderful inspiration of my fellow D-Teamies at the Passion For Promarkers blog yet? Play along with us this week for a chance to win the Changing Birdhouse stamp set, kindly donated as a prize by our fab sponsor, Little Claire Designs.

Little Claire


I am entering this at Papertake Weekly this week, where 'Anything Goes'.


So hope everyone in the UK had a great Bank Holiday weekend. Brace yourself for a couple more days electioneering & then it will al be over until the next time. Unfortunately, if we get a hung parliament, that might be sooner than you think! Politics would be a great thing if politicians were straight talkers & could answer a question honestly! I won't tell you how to vote, but please make sure you use it!! Right I'll just climb down from my soap box. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week.

Thanks so much for looking.
Big Hugs,

Happy Easter!





Thought I'd also share a couple of images from Easter. The first is one of the Easter cards I made for the boys. 

I would like to enter this at Lawnscaping Challenges, where the challenge is to add dimension. I hope you can tell the bunnies are on 3D pads. I've just reviewed how similar this is to the card that inspired it & I really must give credit to Nichol Magouirk as the real talent behind it. She is such a wonderful source of inspiration.

At Allsorts Challenge the theme is Easter, so I am entering this there too.


The second is the elusive & lesser known Easter pheasant (always overlooked in favour of his more popular friend, the Easter bunny!), photographed in the field behind my Mum & Dads house.

Big Hugs,

For a Special Lady at Passion For Promarkers


Good Morning! Time for another fun challenge at Passion for Promarkers, where this weeks theme has Mother's Day in mind, but it could be for any female. it just has to be

FOR A SPECIAL LADY


While this may not be an overtly feminine card, it is for my Mum, who doesn't really do fussy, fancy fairies, girly etc. But as a child I loved the story of Squirrel Nutkin, so this harks back to then. The image is from A Day For Daisies & the papers are LOTV - Country Lady.


Just to prove it is a card for a special lady, here's the inside which was all stamped with Mama Elephant sentiments, as was the message on the front.


So play along with us this week & hop on over to the Passion For Promarkers blog to see more fab inspiration from my wonderful fellow D-Teamies. Our sponsor this week is the very generous Polkadoodles, who are offering our lucky winner these to fantastic digi images.
