I will be back...

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to let you all know that I am still around but have a lot going on at the minute including my first Obstacle course race this weekend. I am doing Tough mudder North west with my brother.
Very excited, bit nervous but can't wait. It's been taking up a lot of head space so hopefully next week I may feel a bit more free.

Will keep you posted,

Make your own backing paper- ILPM Challenge

Hi guys,
This post was meant to go out yesterday but I am a total div, thought I had finished and scheduled it .....but I hadn't....duh!!! This is Rusty from Squigglefly. He is just so good to colour. I gave him a big shiny hooter and his collar and ball have some glossy accents too. I used a few Pro's to colour him and he was pretty much made in 20 mins and that included making my own backing paper which I made with a Die-namics stamp and tumbled glass distress inks.
He has a few pearls and goodies from Chelsea's cheeky fimo charms and he was good to go.
So make your own backing paper and head on over to the new challenge at I LOVE PROMARKERS!!!

Photo inspiration at I love Promarkers


Morning,
The new challenge is just starting over at I love ProMarkers. It's Photo inspiration and here it is
I tried to use colours as close as possible. I loved making this card. The image was a freebie from Kenny K a while back but you can get it Here!

I have used a mix of papers and the ribbon was from Baker ross. They sent me a big bag of goodies which I have been playing with on lots of projects. The ribbon has a really nice quality to it.
The flowers are wild orchid crafts, a marianne die cut swirl and there are some bits and bobs from my craft shop.
I hope you pop over and take part as there is a prize from Polkadoodles up for grabs,

Add some stripes

HI,
It's Thursday but this week all my days are merging as Iam off from work on holiday. I am not going away though just trying to catch up with things around the house and crafting.
Today I shall be making curry, getting my eyebrows waxed (ouch!) and making a couple of cards(hopefully).

Anyhow...the new challenge has just kicked off at Milkcoffee and it is Add stripes. How you interpret this is up to you (I used stripy papers)
I used Charlotte with umbrella and coloured her with my Promarkers. I used Love letters paper pack and added a Flower. The pearls and ribbon were from my stash.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.....don't forget to take part HERE!!!
