Happy Anniversary to us!

 I know I say it every year, but I cannot believe that it's time again for the big Anniversary challenge at Passion for Markers - we are 16 years old this time!

As usual, the theme is 'Anything Goes' - so grab your markers and get crafting! Don't forget to pop in to the blog and along with some super inspiration from both teams you will find a LONG list of all the sponsors and prizes :)

I chose to use an image  which I haven't used before for my DT card:


Image - 'Dragon Letter' - LOTV

Papers  - 'Dots 'n' Stripes' 8x8 pad from Sue Wilson and turquoise card from Creative Expressions

I didn't have the right colour ribbon, so I used Sue Wilson's 'Classic Itty Bitty 3d bows dies to make a bow and popped it on a strip of the same colored card

Sentiment ' Kanban's Holly Hobbie

Finished off with paper flowers and pearls from The Hobby House.


I have followed another sketch from Sweet ketch Wednesday 2:

Ready for Spring!

   Good afternoon, I hope you have been able to make the most of the glorious weather we've been having!

I'm popping in to tell you about the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers - Karen has chosen a lovely easy theme this time - 'Favourite Colour Combo' and our sponsor is The Paper Shelter


And I have used one of their gorgeous images for my DT card:


Image (rather aptly named!)- 'So ready for spring' - TPS

Dotty paper, kraft card and handbag charm all from  my crafty stash

I used a Kanban label die for the main image and some pierced flag dies and some stamps from Julie Hickey for the sentiments which I won recently over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

Finished off with some card candi and... shock horror... NO bow!! but I thought this cute charm was perfect to go with this sweet image.

I have followed one of the May sketches from SSW2, but have turned it on it's side:
