INTERNET DOWN :(

Sorry this post is late this week , I ve had internet troubles , first it was the phone line and then when i get that sorted ,the curse of the blogger hit me and it would nt let me onto the blog page to post or leave comments on your lovely creations.
This week's I ♥ promarkers this week is Pearls ,here is my DT piece

The stargazer lilies are from Digi Doodle shop as they are the sponsors for this weeks challenge

Emboss it !

This week's challenge at I ♥ Promarkers is to use some kind of embossing on your project.The challenge is sponsored by  Secret crafter .
Now thankfully for me I had got ahead of myself and made this one a couple of weeks ago as I have been ill all week and not been able to lift my head from my pillow let alone make a card !
I made this with a cuttlebug embossing folder -swiss dots and a papermania stamp .The flowers are from a punch and the background shapes are nesties .This was my first attempt at a double easel and i was quite pleased with the result- it did n't fit in any envelope that I had so I made it a nice little box  .

Happy New Year and a new challenge too

Happy New year to you all .

This is the first card i have made since Christmas and it made a nice change to do something on a different theme .I have made this as my DT card for I ♥ promarkers  where we are asking you to use something recycled on your card. I have recycled the inner foil seal of my coffeemate tin to make the heart charms, they were silver but i coloured them with my PMs to give them a gold finish - i used "spice "
I also made the  gerbera from a single sheet of white copy  paper and coloured with "amber and  spice "promarkers. The card is smaller than my usual as i had originally  covered an A5 card  with the paper  and then  discarded it into my craft box as i had buggered it up on the edge when i trimmed it .So in a way the card was also recycled  

The challenge is sponsored this week by Joanna Sheen and you could win £10 to spend in here online shop which is i believe the best place to buy your promarkers from :) The prices are fantastic , the service is second to none and the P&P IS FREE -

3 in one day !

Lol , I'm on a roll ,I made this one today too and  wanted to share - I probably won't post again til next Wednesday now !
This is done in ivory as it's for a couple's second marriage .I used my cricut -sweethearts I think ,cuttlebug divine swirls embossing folder and sizzix and cuttlebug dies  for the foliage

I♥PROMARKERS challenge 24 - Buttons

Morning all , I know two posts in less than 24 hours - what am I like ?
This is for the I ♥ PROMARKERS  challenge . This week we want to see some buttons on your project ,so get raiding your stash !
I had planned this card with the intention of using some gorgeous antique style,  heart shaped pewter buttons but of course i can't remember where i have put them !
Luckily i had enough mirri board left after cutting the swirls to cut some buttons using my sizzlits die .I wish i knew where those buttons were though - they match the background paper a treat .

Quilted wedding

i used the FQB" with this ring " collection from nitwits for this one . i have layered and padded the chapel and i gave it a quilted feel by using my tracing wheel to make stitch marks. i cut the charms with my sizzix dies from thick tin foil (recycled again from my milk tins ).
I added the date with tiny peel off stickers

Mr and Mrs

WHAT A WEEK! it has absolutely flown past , probably because i am off work.I feel as if i have been running around all week but dont have anything to show for it .
Not had much time for crafting although i did have a couple of commissions to do this week.One was of a special scrapbook /birthday card which is so top secret i'm not allowed to show on my blog incase the recipient happens to see it .
The other was for a wedding card and as i have ntI have nt made one in ages , i was rather pleased when i was asked to make one.
I used my trusty bug for this one with base camp and wedding solutions carts and DS .
I have just got SCAL2 so when i have sussed out how to use it i will post some creations .
