Passion for Promarkers Anything Goes

I cannot believe that another week has flown by!  The weather has been so fabulous up here that I've not had much time for crafting- been in the garden and also looking after our gorgeous Violet whilst her Mum and Dad are busy preparing their new home to move into shortly.  

Still managed to sneak this make in quickly which is for our Anything Goes Challenge starting today at Passion for Promarkers - always a popular theme, chosen by our lovely Sue!  As we're being sponsored by Dr Digi some of the team have been able to work with their images and mine is the brill image of Captain Thunderpants!!

Of course he's coloured with my Promarkers  and then I've used some stitched edge dies from Marianne, along with the Banner Letter dies - see below for Deets:

Stitched Rectangle Die Set - CR1390

Stitched Circle Die Set - CR1360

Banner Alphabet Die set - LR0340

Nick has managed to put his back out something chronic at the minute so he looks a bit like this hobbling about!!  I actually may have to go and mow the lawn today - eek!!

As above, our sponsor this week is Dr Digi Stamps who are offering the lucky winner two images of their choice.

Don't forget to check out the fab makes of my teamies here and also check back later to find out the lucky winners of our awesome list of prizes from our Anniversary challenge last week.

Lavinia card and tile gift sets

I've been using my Lavinia stamps recently and made a few gift sets for my craft fair of a card and matching coaster - they do make lovely little gifts if people couldn't afford an expensive present!!

I used some Prima papers for the matt and the background on the card and my favourite Marianne frame die along with a Marianne flourish, deets below.  The sentiment is Lili of The Valley.

Anja's Marque Frame Die - LR0483

Anja's Leaf Flourishes - LR0271

For the coaster below, I tried to print directly onto the tile but they weren't flat enough so stamp the image on tissue and used Mod Podge to stick it and seal it on the tile.

That's all for today!!

Happy Wedding Day!!

In celebration of two very important weddings today, I'd thought I'd share a card I made using a Lili of The Valley image.  It's not only THE Royal Wedding but also the wedding of a second cousin of Nick's - have a wonderful day Nicky and Jamie, and hope all the family enjoys every moment!  The sun is shining so it should be fabulous.

Anyway, this card was made for my Craft Fair using an image from a Lili of The Valley Art Pad and then coloured with Promarkers.  And look, it actually isn't cream/yellow!!

I managed to sneak a Marianne die in there - a lacy pierced edged oldie but a favourite and also a sentiment from Marianne Designs, deets below:

Pierced Circle Die Set - CR1331

Wedding Sentiments set -  CS0999

And the papers are actually a set from the Pound Shop!!

Have a wonderful celebratory day!!

Get me to the church on time!!

Hello everyone - sorry I've not been about much, I was busy getting ready for a craft fair at the weekend, and it was followed by looking after Violet for a couple of nights while Holly and her Harry went away to celebrate her 30th!  Violet was such a lovely girl and as good as gold and so entertaining.

Anyway, normality is restored and I thought I'd share a some churches that I made for the craft fair using the Sizzix Tim Holtz die sets.  I love the church steeple too and think it makes a great wedding card or a little gift at the wedding.  I also made some matching cards to with them as it's not easy to write on the finished church!!

The flowers and trailing vines are from Marianne sets as are the grass panels on the side, details below, and the sentiment too!!  

Flowers from die set Petra's Special Circle - LR0511

Trailing Vine Dies - CR1396

Grass Patch Die - LR0360

Wedding Sentiments Stamps - CS0999

Oh and I love the little metal bell in the bell tower - took me a while to figure out how to fix it!!

I'm going to do a bit of gardening now while the weather remains so lovely!!xx
