Add A Sentiment PFP Challenge

Morning folks - another sunny day here in the Lakes - long may it last.

As it's a Tuesday, it's time for our new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and it's my turn to host the challenge.  I've chosen, hopefully, a nice easy theme of Add A Sentiment as most of us tend to add some sort of sentiment to our makes, right?  Just remember to use your Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Trias or Aquamarkers - lots of choice!!

I needed to make a Get Well Card for a dear friend suffering from that Virus, so this is it - thankfully, she is on the road to recovery at the minute.

The image is from Stamping Bella and the papers are Basic Grey.

The die cut snowdrops are from Marianne as are the looped border and the sentiments, details below

Snow Drop Die set - CR1490

Looped Border Die - CR1250

Sentiment stamps  from Mini Labels and Dies set -CS1029 -  so versatile!! 

We're being sponsored by the fabulous Bugaboo Stamps who make some great images with fab and funny matching sentiments. They're offering the lucky winner a $12 voucher to spend in their digi store!!



My teamies have made some wonderful cards for the challenge this week, go check them out here at PFP HQ and leave them so love - I intend to when I have made my foray into town for our weekly shop!

Have a great week everyone and I look forward to seeing your makes!

Mo's Carrying The Wood Two Ways

I've made a couple of  Christmas cards using Mo's Carrying The Wood this year, so thought I'd blog them together just to show how different they can look.  

This first one is a bit more ornate with a decorative folding card die from Marianne Designs, along with their papers, sentiments and dies.  (Full list below).

Basic Grey Challenges Anything but Square

Helloooo - I'm a bit late posting this but I was  lured away by the promise of a demo day down at The Craft Barn! Lovely, it was, with lots of fresh ideas, some hellos with some lovely ladies and a laugh with besty, Lesley!

Anyway, today's card is for the new challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges where we want to see your shaped cards, just not square!  

I've used a ready made stepper card blank from Craftwork Cards and teamed up the fabulous Snow Day digi from Mo's Digital Pencil with some Basic Grey Nordic papers.

This has to be one of my all time favourite Christmas images- pure joy, and it has to be brought out and coloured at least once - it's the law!

I think I'm going to start listing my ingredients at the end of my card for ease of reference in case anyone wants to know!

Do come and play along with us at BG Challenges just remember to use a Basic Grey product and let us know in your post what that is.  Oh, and don't forget that we are also now limiting the number of entries that you can make to three. 

As always, our wonderful sponsor, Simon Says Stamp is offering one lucky winner a fab $25 shopping spree in the Simon Says Superstore.

Papers - Basic Grey Nordic 6x6 papers
Colouring Medium - Pro and Flexmarkers
