Keep it Simple Challenge 1

Hi everyone, I am very pleased to announce that I have been chosen to join the Keep it Simple Design Team!! Whooop whooop. Keep it Simple is a new challenge blog with the aim of keeping it simple!! So for my first official design team card I have used a Whiff of Joy image coloured with Pro-Markers, a double sided sheet of paper from Anna Griffin and an already die cut tree also from Anna Griffin. As in the rules for the design team the card took me under 30 mins to create, to be sure I watched Friends and it was finished before the episode was.

Keep it Simple will have prizes, a top 3 award and lots of fun. Join us every Sunday for a new challenge.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp 34 and Passion for Pro-Markers 65

This weeks Sunday Sketch & Stamp is a great sketch which I have combined with the Passion for Pro-Markers challenge ''Blue Christmas''.

And he is gone.

Today my Grandad Peter Jones lost his battle with cancer. Rest in peace finally.

Tuesday Tagger theme & A Pocket Full of Posies Challenge

This weeks Tuesday Taggers Challenge is Sunshine, and I am combining this challenge with A Pocket Full of Posies which is all that glitters. I have made a little tag with some cosmic shimmer paint for the background, dreamweaver crackle embossing paste for the sun rays and shimmery paper to stamp the children on the bench on, then coated with crackle paint in  rock candy. Love how this one has turned out but it doesn't look as good in the photo as it does in real life as the crackle detail hasn't photo'd well. The stamp is an old Prima one.

Just Magnolia 67 & Passion for Pro-Markers 64

Passion For Pro-Makers week 61 meets Sketch Saturday 133

This weeks Sketch Saturday is a really nice and clean and simple sketch, which is exactly the style that I love working with, so being so clean and simple I decided to team it up with this weeks Passion for Pro-Markers challenge which is ''Distress''. The image used is one I choose from winning the Weekend Workshop a couple of weeks ago that is hosted by Passion for Pro-Markers, the prize I won was provided by Fred She Said and has some totally cute didgi images, the delivery is instant too so no waiting for an e-mail to use your purchases. Papers from a really old K&co stack and Old Paper Distress ink.

I Love Pro-Markers Meets Whiff of Joy

This weeks Whiff of Joy Challenge is a great sketch provided by the lovely Bev. I am also entering this card into the I Love Pro-Markers Challenge which is buttons. Lastly I am entering this into Katharina's Design Team guest designer bi-monthly call.

Image's: Whiff of Joy Willow with floral wreath decoupaged up onto the tree stump stamp. Coloured with pro-markers and a little angel dust glitter added for fun. Papers from Papermania and flowers and buttons from Crafty Feeling monthly bloom club kit. Ink used is Tattered Rose Distress ink.

Just Magnolia week 63

This weeks challenge at Just Magnolia is a recipe, 3 flowers, 2 patterned papers and 1 ribbon. Not sure i like how it turned out and the picture is awful due to the bad light and rain today.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp 32 and I Love ProMarkers 22

(sorry for the bad photo, its raining and their is no light at all today)

This weeks challenge over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp is a fab sketch which I have combined with the I Love ProMarkers challenge, distress. I didn't want to go over the top with distressing as I thought it looked a little odd so only the main image has its edges distressed with a neat little gadget from Heidi Swapp simply called edge distresser. Image is Magnolia coloured with ProMarkers, Ink is distress ink in Tea Dye and papers are the Once Upon a Time stack from DCWV, I love this stack and its almost gone :(
