'Use 3 of something'

Hi crafters,
Well I'm throwing myself into some crafting again as both of my boys have left home for Uni!  You kinda get used to them being home over the summer and then they leave again - it doesn't seem to get any easier :(
Aw well - thank goodness there's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers for me to focus on!  Our lovely Lorraine has given us the fab theme 'Use 3 of something', nice and easy this week!  Could be 3 papers, flowers, pearls - anything you like!

We are kindly sponsored this week by Bugaboo Stamps who are offering the lucky winner a $12 gift code to use in their online store.
Bugaboo
We were lucky enough to have one of their images to use on our cards this week and I've used this one called ''Flower ladybug love',


I've coloured the image with my promarkers and added lots of glitter on the flowers.  I coloured the punched leaves with the same green as the image and punched out some daisies to go either side!
Some enamel dots went in the centre of the flowers and I used my MS punch for the black border.  I added a little ladybird embellishment so then I had my 3 of something (ladybirds!)

So why not join in with this week's challenge and be in with a chance of winning some fab new digis from Bugaboo Stamps.
Remember to use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products and of course, follow the theme.  I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.
Hugs, Karen xx

'Add Buttons'

Hi crafters

Sorry for the late post today - had to go back to work after 6 weeks off and it was such a shock to the system that I forgot to do my blog!!
Anyway, our lovely Linda has chosen the brilliant theme of  'Add Buttons' this week, for our brand new challenge at Passion for Promarkers.  Nice and easy as I think I probably add buttons to most of my cards!!

We are kindly sponsored this week by Cowling & Wilcox and they are offering one lucky winner a 6 pack of promarkers (pastel tones).
  

I've made this Welsh Birthday card for my computer mad son and this image was perfect for him!
I've used some monotone papers from 'The Works' and coloured the image with my promarkers.  I added a diecut silver star, some enamel dots and of course, some buttons!!  Buttons are always handy for those tricky male cards!

So why not join in with this fab challenge and be in with a chance of winning a great prize,  Don't forget, you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  Just remember to use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products and of course follow the theme. 
I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.
Hugs,
Karen xx
