Hello, my lovely blog chums.....hope you've had a good week!
It was my birthday on Thursday, and, as lockdown down birthdays go, I had a fabulous day! Lazy morning, with a leisurely bath followed by lounging in the sun in the garden, later in the afternoon we broke out of shielding for a while and went to my daughter's house, she had got the paddling pool out in the garden, and we each had a turn to socially distanced dip! Dinner was a takeaway from a local pub, and very yum it was too. I was thoroughly spoilt too, hubby had treated me to a new Samsung tablet a few weeks ago, my mum had given me money to get summer clothes and Promarkers, and Megan and her boyfriend got me a Raskog trolley from IKEA....looking forward to getting that built at weekend! So fab day, all in all.
Another treat this week came from winning a Passion for Promarkers challenge, and receiving my prize from Star Jam Lines....I couldn't wait to print out this adorable Gnome with his candle.....what a Cutie, right? The paper came from a stack that I picked up in The Works, back in February. I used my trusty Promarkers to colour. The sentiment is my own, using Cinnamon Cake font, the Snowflake dies are from Marianne creatables and Joanna Sheen. I hadn't come across Star Jam Lines before, but there are some fantastic digi's, so do go take a look.....
I would like to enter these challenges please:
Crafty Catz #512 ATG
Festive Friday #FF00062 single image, faux stitch and geometric shapes
As you like it digi or rubber stamps
Don't get me wrong, I do like to use a rubber stamp....sometimes its preferable to switching the lap top on, and my printer is quite fussy about anything thicker than 160gsm BUT, the jeopardy of rubber stamping - one false move, and you've smudged or you've failed to ink a crucial part of the stamp, makes me prefer Digi stamping - also the cost, and readily available-ness
Passion for Promarkers #548 use a die
The Holly and the Ivy challenge #74 ATG
Merry Little Christmas challenge #23 ATG
CHNC #496 add a snowflake or two
