It's been a busy week for me stocking up my stall leading up to two Farmers Markets/Craft Fairs this weekend so I only managed one card this time. A beautiful, traditional image though and with the sparkly gems in among the wreath it really does look pretty in real life.

Passion For Promarkers Challenge #440 - Buttons and or Bows

Hi Crafters,

Tuesday means the start of a new challenge at Passion For Promarkers.

So here I am with my DT inspiration for you.

Our theme this week is...

BUTTONS and or BOWS

I've decided to make four little notelets using a set of images from our sponsor Digi Stamp Boutique.

I found this teeny, tiny bow die in my stash and just had to use it with these cute images.

Coloured with Promarkers

Tattered Lace Frame Die

Spellbinders 'Just a Note' Die

Tiny Bow - All Occasions Die

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Crafty Creations - #364 - ATG

As You Like It - Favourite Colouring Medium + Why

( I love using my Promarkers, they are the first alcohol markers I tried when I began crafting and colouring my own images. I find them very easy to blend and use. I have collected quite a lot of colours over the years and so I don't feel the need to change to another brand)

Christmas Card Club Challenge #8 Poinsettia/Christmas Greenery

Hi Crafters,

Two weeks have passed by so quickly and I'm here again to share my cards for the Christmas Card Club.

Mary has given us Poinsettias or Christmas Greenery for our theme.

I've created two very different cards this time.

The top one is using a Craft Creations decoupage sheet and some beautiful tartan paper.

The second card uses a Christmas embossing folder from Apple Blossom and TH Tattered Poinsettia Die cut and embossed using pearlescent card which really makes the embossing stand out. I finished off the poinsettia with a Creative Expressions Dazzler.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

CHNC Every Saturday - #381 ATG
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - #463 Christmas
Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends - #80 ATG

Take a peek at the other ladies cards in our group by clicking on the links in the tab at the top of my blog. They always have some fabulous Christmas inspiration on their blogs.

I hope you've had a great weekend, the weather has been a little brighter which always helps.

See you soon,

Lorraine

I hope you enjoyed your Easter break even though the weather was rubbish, hopefully it will improve so the children can get out and about before they have to return to school again.

It is time for another new challenge at Passion For Promarkers so here is my design team inspiration card using this fabulous image from Bugaboo Stamps.

I thought I'd use another DL card only in a portrait orientation this time.

Hi Crafters,

Well April 1st is here and now all we need is the Spring weather, I really need to see some sunshine soon.

Today it was Kate's turn to choose the theme for our friendly festive club and so she would like to see cards featuring.....

ANIMALS AT CHRISTMAS

Such cute little Polar Bears and a simple card design using another Craft Creations decoupage sheet.

These little mischievous mice are from a Hunkydory Card kit with a Spellbinders border die added for interest.

And last but not least are these adorable kitties from the 'Christmas Cuties' range at  Lili of the Valley.

Quite quick and simple cards from me today, but three more to put away in my Christmas box.
