Oh my goodness...

... its been such a long time since my last post!!!  I sort of lost my mojo in a big way, not happy with my colouring, or layouts or papers - generally fed up with it all to be honest. 

Anyhoo, had a kick up the bum from Janine and a sit and colour with her, and then a few days away and busy with the kids - still not 100% back to normal, but getting there.



I've got a few cards photographed, and here's one that I made for my brothers birthday:



The image is a digi stamp boutique, coloured with promarkers and stickles and glossy accents added.  The papers are Hobbycraft matted onto blue card and button and twine from my stash.

I would like to enter this into:

Passion for Promarkers - button it
Without words - use a previous challenge ( Iam using gentlemen only)

Sorry about my moan, and thank you for looking
