Flower Power

 Morning crafters! I'm here to let you know that we have a new challenge starting today at Passion for Promarkers, this week's theme is 'Flower Power' - so you can use any image so long as your projects feature some flowers somewhere. I have chosen to use the rather aptly named 'Flower Teddy' stamp from Penny Black - he's so cute! I have used flowery paper and flower embellishments, so I think I've covered the theme quite well!

Girl Power!

Hi Crafters,

I can't believe we are nearly in August already, the year is just disappearing fast and just to confirm it - it is my turn yet again to set the challenge theme at Passion for Promarkers

I have chosen 'Girl Power' 

We would like to see feminine makes this fortnight

Don't forget to pop into the PFP blog to check out the fabulous inspiration from my Teamies

We are being sponsored by All Dressed Up and I have used one of their wonderful digi stamps for my card and I went a bit easier on the embellishments this time for a more CAS look

This cutie is part of a set called 'Wear with Style' from All Dressed Up

The pretty rose gold filigree corner and all the pearls are from The Hobby House

The sentiment is from Hunkydory

Ribbon and pearly buckles from my stash

Flowers & Pearls at Passion for Promarkers

Morning Crafters, I hope you are all keeping well and safe and are still sane in these weird times!

We have a new challenge at PFP and as you can see from this blog title we would like to see pearls and flowers on your creations.

We have The Paper Shelter sponsoring us and the DT were able to choose an image to work with, so, please pop into the PFP blog to see how we have all used that image ( It never ceases to amaze me, how one image can be used so differently by several people!)

I made a Z card and as usual I'm not thrilled by the photo as the pretty papers look dark and dull, not at all like how they look in real life :(

Animals at Passion for Promarkers

Hi Crafters, hope you are all safe and well and getting lots of crafting done!

We have a new challenge at PFP this week and it was my turn to choose a theme. As I don't 'do' difficult I chose  'Animals'

I was given the honour of choosing an image from our sponsor - The Paper Shelter and this is what the DT have got to work with, I think it's just adorable and you really should check out what the rest of the Team 2 girls have done with it over on the blog, their projects are just gorgeous!
Unfortunately the photo isn't great, I just couldn't get it sharper:(

Party Time!

I hope that everyone is keeping well and safe, to help while away the time we have another challenge at Passion for Promarkers. This time we would like to see projects that are 'CAS' ( Clean & Simple) I always struggle with this theme as I love using lots of die-cuts and embellishments, but I was reasonably pleased with my DT card, not so much pleased with the photo tho'!

Paper is from LOTV/Nitwits
