Promarker Challenge

Morning everyone, what a lovely morning it is with the sun shining I can feel a bbq coming on.

Back at the beginning of May I told you that a new challenge blog had been set up called the "Promarker Challenge Blog" and I managed to get my entry done last night.

As this is the first challenge the girls decided that anything goes, no sketch to follow, no specific colours which was good as I only have a limited number (and I think I must have used everyone!!!

The colours I used were: Black, Blush, Satin, Lime Green, Grass, Cinnamon, Yellow & Magenta.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Most Improved Player Award

Just another quick one as I forgot to say that Benn won Most Improved Player at his Football Presentation Evening at the MK Dons Stadium. He was a bit gobsmacked but happy. The other picture is of him and his dad with baby Luke at the BBQ.

DT Cards - Underwater Ovals

Morning everyone, I hope you had a peaceful time last night while the footie was on. I know I did, I finally had time to play without any interruptions as the boys were heavily engrossed. I have been trying to find time to play with the Under The Sea Collection from Lily-Boo's Boutique. For those who haven't been over to her site yet, pop on over as she designs the most adorable images that come on a sheet of 6 for £1.99.

Looks like it is going to be another lovely day

Here are the cards that I got done using these images. Hope you like them.

Wedding Cards

Good morning. I hope you all enjoyed the bank holiday weekend and took advantage of the lovely weather we had. It has been really busy over here what with Benn's birthday and having the family all gathered. We really had a lovely time though and it was nice catching up as everyone leads such busy lives these days.

I was asked by a friend to make a couple of wedding cards for her as her brother is getting married this week. I must say I struggled a bit with these as she insisted that her brother's name was mentioned first as she is extremely close to him. I didn't have a hard time actually doing it, it was mentally I struggled as I don't know about you but I have always felt that it didn't matter whether they were family members or not, the brides name should always be first. What do you think, I would be interested in anyone else's thoughts on this, or is it just me?

I have used all Pink Petticoat on one of the cards including the new Lola Rose Wedding designs and on the other I used my Cricut machine. Anyway, thanks for looking and I hope you like them.

First DT Card - Butterflies

Here is a card I made using one of Sam's images from Lilyboo's Boutique. For anyone that doesn't know, I was asked if I would join them on their design team and boy are they all talented ladies, I just hope that I don't let them down. I can tell you I was doing the happy dance that day. Well this is an image that Sam put on the UK Crafters thread for everyone to use for the challenge last week. Unfortunately with everything going on I was unable to participate then but have managed to finally get my card done now. Hope you like it. All the papers I have used are a download from a company called Daisie. I have coloured the image in using Sakura gel pens as they give a lovely sparkly look.

We have just been sent some more images which I know you will all love, but that is all I am saying at the moment he....he.... Pop on over and have a browse, they really are gorgeous images and the beauty of using downloads is that you are able to print them out at whatever size you want, no stamps to store and you have them forever.

Lily Boo's Design Team

Whoa, I am so excited as I have been asked to join the new design team for Lily-Boo's Boutique along with some other very creative ladies. For those that have not come across Lily-Boo's, you ought to pop along there and take a look at the fantastic images that Sam creates, and visit all the blogs of the other members of the DT. I am really looking forward to the start of a very exciting adventure and working alongside such lovely ladies.

Well I have to say I am sorry as I have been away for a little while, it has just been so busy. First of all we weren't around for the weekend and second, I have felt so rough since with a really sore throat and really not feeling up to doing anything. Benn turned round though and said "Mum you haven't got swine flu have you", don't you just love them.

I will be off a while again this week as it is Benn's big 13th on Friday so we have lots going on, not only do we have his birthday things, we also have his end of season awards night at football where we are very lucky as it is being held at the MK Don's stadium.

Well must go but see you again soon.

Just a bit sad.....

I am a little sad today as I have just found out that I didn't make it onto Funky Hand's design team. A lady call Dolly won who creates fabulous designs. Well done Dolly. Oh well I will just have to keep trying but their CD's are just so yummmmmy.

A couple more cards

Thought I would show you a couple more cards I have made. The first one was for our Granddaughter Kezia and the second for our Grandson Logan. These were both made using the cricut with a mixture of Pink Petticoat papers and my own stash. The sentiment circle is one I made myself while trying to learn Illustrator.

The third one I made was for some friends of mine for their wedding using the Glitter Girls Bookatrix.

Thanks for looking.
