Queen Bee
Hello crafters!
I hope you are all surviving the rather warm weather we are having at the moment - I feel like I could end up as a puddle on the floor, BUT, I did manage to get in the craft room to make a card for our new theme at Passion for Promarkers - without coming out with bits of paper etc stuck all over me!
Our theme has been chosen by Linda and she would like you to 'Add A Number' to your projects - I look forward to seeing your entries :)
Our sponsor is The Paper Shelter
I unfortunately find myself needing cards for quite high numbers now, lol, so I have made one ready for the next one of my friends to join my club!

Finished off with some enamel dots, a bow and, of course a big glittery 50 die-cut

Happy Anniversary to us!
Yes, it's our anniversary at Passion for Markers this week and our challenge theme is a nice and easy one - 'Anything Goes'

My card this time is somewhat of an LOTV love fest! I had a splurge on some of their sale items (actual polymer stamps, not digis) and they are beyond cute!

Tag sentiments and paper - LOTV
I used Lisa Horton's 'Postage Slimline 'die cut from kraft card to matt my image onto a landscape DL card

Bob's Balloons
Well, it's pouring hard here which is very disappointing after the last few days of glorious sunshine, but, on the plus side - it's a perfect day for crafting! and for joining in our latest challenge at Passion for Markers where the theme this time couldn't be easier! - We would like to see projects made for 'Birthdays'
The lucky DT got to choose an image from our sponsor Dr Digi's HOS to play with and I chose 'Bob's Balloons' as balloons definitely qualify for our theme

My turn at Passion for Markers
It doesn't seem possible that it is already my turn to choose a theme for the new challenge at Passion for Markers - it comes around so quickly! And after being super oganised last time with scheduling my post a week before the challenge - this time I am a day late!
To make my life easier, I have chosen a nice easy theme of 'Use A Die.' It diesn't matter what type of die - as long as at least one has been used on your project.

Feeling Flowery
I have been enjoying some rather rare sunshine this morning, getting in the mood for crafting once my craft room re-vamp is done (yipee!) and so this week's theme at Passion for Markers seems vey apt - Karen would like to see 'Fabulous Florals' on your projects
Our sponsor is Colour Of Love
I used an image from our sponsor as it fits the theme beautifully with all those pretty flowers! and made an inverted easel card - love this shape:

New Beginnings
Good morning and Happy New Year!

My DTcard is somewhat of an LOTV fest 😂,

I coloured this super cute image with Promarkers and used a deckle edge label die for the matts and layers.

Papers are from a discontinued LOTV paper pad
Finished off with a bow and pink pearls
