Glitter and Glitz with I ♥ ProMarkers

Good morning,

A scheduled post from me today as I will be at work.  Today we have a fab new challenge starting over at I ♥ ProMarkers and our theme is Glitter and Glitz.  This challenge marks our 7th Anniversary as the very first challenge was on the 16th July 2009!  I hope you will all take this opportunity to craft along with us and celebrate our 7th Birthday!!!

We are sponsored for this very special challenge by Fabrika Fantasy!  Also, on a personal level this is my last design team card for  I ♥ ProMarkers.  I will miss this a lot but I have got so much going on between work and my family that it's getting increasingly difficult to fit in crafting time.  I totally adore the challenge so they won't be getting rid of me that easily I hope to be able to drop by and take part now and then!

Ok on to my card, I've used an image from our sponsor called Fairytale Unicorn which has been coloured with Promarkers and sprayed with Crafter's Companion Spray & Sparkle.

Papers from an ancient Tulip decoupage pack, X-cut dies for stars and some gems to finish.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Shona xx

Polka Dots and Pastels with the Cutie Pies

Hello there,

I'm here to share my latest make for the Cutie Pies DT.  Our theme this month is Polka Dots and Pastels and as always it must be cute!  We have not one but two fab sponsors for this challenge - Sweet Stamps & Little Blue Button.

I used one of the fab images from Little Blue Button for my card - this one is called Sophie With Flower.

I've coloured her with Promarkers and used a couple of papers from Crafter's Companion Verity Rose which were a recent magazine freebie.  I've used an X-cut punch for the little flowers.  Personal Impressions sentiment, spotty organza ribbon and pearls to finish off.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Use The Colour of Your Flag with Dream Valley Challenges

Good morning,

I'm a little more organised with a scheduled post today.  I am sad to say this is my last time contributing to the Dream Valley DT as I have decided to call it a day.  You've probably noticed I am crafting and blogging less and less these days as work and family commitments especially, are taking up a lot of my time just now.  It's a shame as I have really enjoyed my time with them but unfortunately I just can't find the time to commit to it just now.

So for my last challenge with them the theme is 'Use the colour of your Flag' this also ties in with American Independance Day today.  I've cheated a little and gone with the colours of the EU flag (while the United Kingdom are still in it!) as I had a New Baby Boy card I wanted to make.

The images and sentiment are all by LOTV and coloured with Promarkers.  The papers are from 2 different sets by Docrafts - Capsule Collection Spots & Stripes Festive and Forever Friends Spring Time.  I've edged the die cut squares with Faded Jeans Distress Ink for definition.  My card is finished with a large button and twine.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs,

Splish Splash Splosh With The Cuties

My apologies for the lateness of my post, my card was used on the later Cutie Pies mid month inspiration post and I completely forgot to schedule/post it!  The challenge is now closed but I thought you might like to see my card anyway.  Why not join us for another fantastic challenge starting Monday 11th July!

The image is from one of our Sponsors - Crafty Sentiments, and has been coloured with Promarkers to match the LOTV papers.  Sentiment printed out from MS Word and finished off with some spotty adhesive ribbon and buttons.

Hugs,

Shona
