ANYTHING GOES, WITH PASSION FOR MARKERS

Hello there my lovely blog chums......I hope that this post finds you keeping well and coping with the business that December brings! I could really,  really use a pause button, at the moment, it's been such a full on month for us, hubby has been experiencing further difficulties with his Stoma, which eventually led him back to hospital - he has kidney stones which may be exacerbating the problem - and we have had to make numerous trips in for all number of scans and blood tests, he had an operation to put stents in, and I think they are going to remove the stones in the new year.........on top of this my daughter and her partner have moved house, I've still had work to go to and have been frantically running round trying to do the Christmas shopping.....unfortunately this has left me massively behind in blogging my DT cards, but I'm going to attempt to catch up!!!

So, I will start with our current challenge at 

PASSION FOR MARKERS

The dotty paper is from a Doodlebug pad, I added faux stitched corners, and a border for a bit of detail.

Three of a Kind, with PASSION FOR MARKERS

Hello there my lovely blog chums........hope you've been having a good week. I am still away on my "late-cation", if you will, in Dorset. Its been a very enjoyable break so far. 

I just wanted to share with you, that we have a fun, new challenge at 

Passion for Markers

Kitty, set the theme as 

3 of a kind.

Our lovely sponsors are 

Who also,  very kindly provided some amazing images for the team to work with.  

I  am  using JMC Designs image ‘Whinnie’ from the ‘Happy Campers’ collection). JMC images always look so bright and colourful, and my mother is keen on bright colours,  so I thought this would be perfect for her birthday card. I am using Promarkers to colour - lime zest, cocktail pink and pastel yellow  (3 of a kind). The papers are from Doodlebug. Sentiment is my own creation. I was lucky enough,  recently, to be nominated by my good friend Sarah, to receive a gorgeous bundle of ribbon - from  Crafty Ribbons. One of the Ribbons in this bundle was made to be on this card! I also added enamel dots, from YNS  - another three of a kind.

I do hope that you will hop on over and join us 

Anything Cute......with The Cutie Pies

 Hello there, my lovely bog chums.....hope your week has started well. As I type this we are currently enjoying a few days away from home......it is hubby's birthday this week  and we decided to squeeze in bit of a last jolly of the year to celebrate.  He loves the Dorset coast, and choose to come to Weymouth. We are staying near a nature reserve, close to Chesil beach, and we enjoyed a lovely walk around there this afternoon....at some  point we will take the dogs for a run on Weymouth beach.....Will I brave enough to take the Skechers off and feel the sand beneath my feet.

Anyway, its time for a new challenge with THE CUTIE PIES 

Our theme is 

ANYTHING CUTE 

obviously, we love to see your cards....but....we would love to see any other makes too, as long as they are cute!

I have made a wall hanging,  which I think will grace my porch, in a few weeks time. It was a wooden tag, which I repainted using a Farrow and Ball tester pot. I put together a digital collage using a Nitwit download paper, together with elements from a Nitwit digiscrapping kit, to which I added an adorable Polkadoodles coloured digi, called  Lucky Present - you can find it here
