Passion For Promarkers - Easel Does it!


Good Morning! I'm back with our new challenge at Passion For Promarkers. My wonderful D-Teamie, Jane has chosen out theme this week. She wants to see

EASEL CARDS


I don't usually do 'cute' for my Dad, but I made an exception this time around by using this LOTV softie. I think he's called Cheers bear. The papers are MME - Darling Dear.


Our wonderful sponsor this week, is Clearly Besotted Stamps. Pop on over to the Passion For Promarkers blog to see the wonderful creations of my fellow D-Teamies.

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

At Totally Gorjuss their theme is 'Furtastic'.

At Bearly Mine Challenges 'Anything Goes', so I am entering this there too.

So the royal baby is finally here. Such a happy event, but I feel sorry for all those reporters who've had to stand around waiting for ages for the little prince to arrive!

So that's all from me. Thanks so much for looking.
Big Hugs,

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,

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,
Andie xx

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.

I'll be back later to finish this off. Right now I need to shoot off to work.
See you later. Thanks for looking.

Divas By Design in Distress!!

Good morning! It's Wednesday & time for another fab challenge at Divas By Design. This week our theme is
DISTRESSING


 This little cutie is by LOTV. I've had it a long time, but I'm not sure it's ever seen ink before. Shame on me! It's coloured with Distress Inks & the papers are Prima - Fairy Belle. The key is a Doo Hickey die & the butterfly is by MFT/Die-namics. 


Lili Of The Valley are our sponsor this week. So play along with us this week to have a chance of winning. Check out the fabulous DT inspiration at the Divas By Design blog.

I am entering this at A Creative Romance where for their first challenge, 'Anything Goes'.

Ooops. Sorry this did not post this morning as it should have done. I got distracted by the need to iron a shirt for my hubby for work & then forgot to press play. What a dull excuse!! Oh well that's the kind of jet set life I lead, LOL! Hope your week is turning out to be more exciting than mine!

Big Hugs,
Andie xx

Passion For Promarkers DT

Oh dear! I thought I'd have chance to post this before now. I've been away & thought I would have Internet access, but it was so erratic, it got too frustrating to even try.
Anthoo I'm back for another Passion For Promarkers challenge. This week the theme has been chosen by me! I want to see cards

INSPIRED BY A FAIRYTALE


I've been pandering to my Saturated Canary addiction again. This one is from the Little Darlings stamp range. I just had to have a crack at her gorgeous hair! I've been playing with my dies too. The corner one is by LaLa Land & the others are Die-namics. The papers are Glitz.

This little sweetie reminds me of Cinderella. Though I wish I'd made her look a bit finer for her Prince Charming. I hope you'll play along with us at Passion For Promarkers this week. Our lucky winner will a fabulous £10 voucher to spend at Bearly Mine Designs. I look forward to seeing your wonderful work.

 So we're back now from our hols in Portugal. We had a fab time & the boys really enjoyed themselves. Sorry I have not been around to comment for a while. As I say, the internet was not great where we were. So I hope to get round to see what you've all been up to very soon.

In the meantime, thanks so much for looking.
Big Hugs,
Andie xx
