Its NEARLY Christmas....

...oh my goodness, my Christmas love is a bit slow arriving this year eek, struggling making the in-laws card too but hopefully now the songs are starting to appear on the radion the Christmas feeling will follow :-).

Now I'm back here with the latest Passion for Promarkers Mega Christmas Challenge.

The Theme is use your Die-cuts - so heres my take:

I have  used a wavy die for the ice effect then die cut 2 Christmas trees and then die cut some snowflakes.

The image was a freebie stamp from a magazine a Christmas or two ago and he has been coloured with promarkers/flexmarkers.

Eeek,

another week closer to Christmas - and time for another challenge at Passion for Promarkers and the challenge this week is Eat, Drink & Be Merry - always possible at Christmas :-) . 

Here is my take:

Oh man - you wouldnt believe the number of attempts to colour this - I had horrendous trouble with bleeding of the darker colours :-( .  The image is Saturated Canary coloured with flex and pro-markers.  Now the sentiment may acutally be Whimsy Doodles that came with a free image maybe last Christmas.  I'm not sure of the make of papers and then I have added a die cut Poinsettia.

Cant wait to see your creations - there is a fab prize this week from Clearly Besotted :-) .

Have a great week and thanks for looking

Toot, toot...

... just blowing the Passion for Promarkers trumpet - have you seen there is a DT call so if you are a keen Promarker user (or other pen from their range) - why not apply :-).  There is a sticky post over at their blog where you can link you blog to enter - it would be great to see you!!

Right, as its the Tuesday to post my card for the challenge (these come round really quickly!)  I'll do this now.  The challenge this fortnight is Christmas is Coming!!

So my take on this was to get organised and get the cards posted:

The image has been coloured with promarkers/flexmarkers and I've added some fluffly stuff (I love watching this stuff transform when you heat it!!) and Ive  also added some stickles.  Now I'm having a nightmare remembering the papers I think they could be papermania and the image was a freebie from Wee Stamps quite a while ago - and then I have added some die cut snowflakes. 

This week we are sponsored by:

and you could win a great prize from them!

So why not pop over and enter it will be great to see your creations and have a think about entering the DT position :-).

Thanks for looking

(p.s. I'll also take this opportunity to apologise if I've not visited your blog over the last week - just when things kick off on the internet (like it has with the US elections) I tend to avoid and stay away - not very grown up but I just dont like it :-( ) .

 

Happy Tuesday...

... everyone, hope you all had a great Halloween and not made yourselves ill with too many Halloween goodies!!

As its Tuesday its time again for the Passion for Promarkers Challenge and this week the challenge is Tweetmas Wishes and this week we are sponsored by All Dressed Up and I have used one of their cute images:

I have used a brick effect embossing folder and added fluffy stuff to give the appearance of snow - then added a die cut window (with more fluffy stuff!) the All dressed up image has been coloured with promarkers/flexmarkers and then a die cut poinsettia added.

It would be great to see your creations and you could win 2 digi images from All Dressed Up

Eeek...

... its Tuesday again (gosh these weeks come round quick!!!) - time for another challenge at Passion for Promarkers this week we are sponsored by the fab Di's digi designs and also there is a chance to win set 1 of brushmarkers courtesy of Winsor & Newton!!!


The challenge this week is All things bright & beautiful/autumnal.  Here is my take:

The image is a Whimsy Doodles freebie from ages ago, coloured with flex/pro markers.  I have then used die cuts - clouds, birds (coloured with promarkers), ground which I die cut then ran through a paper crimper I was aiming for a ploughed field effect lol.  Next I used punches for the sun and flowers which have a dinky dot of liquid pearls.

I quite enjoyed making this scene.

Cant wait to see your takes on this weeks challenge - so be sure to pop over and enter!!

Thanks for looking

Nope..

... its not Tuesday yet!!  Still only Monday - but I'm going to blog a card I made for my neices birthday (its not until January - but I'm struggling to get going with Christmas cards and I really need to!!)

I saw a challenge over at Sweet Stampin and thought I'd give it a go :-)

The image is from Saturated Canary (which has sadly stopped trading) - coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.  The papers are Basic Grey matted onto pink bazzill - I  have then added some die cut arrows and a die cut i-pod.  I thought she was going to be difficult to colour but she was actually a joy!!

I would like to enter this into

Sweet Stampin - Spots/Stripes
