Add a Button

 Hi crafters,

It's my turn to choose the theme this week for the challenge at Passion for Markers!  I've gone with a nice and easy theme of 'Add a button'.  A good chance to use up some of our button stash!!  

Our generous sponsor this week is Polkadoodles and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Polkadoodles on their creations this week so don't forget to check them out at Passion for Markers if you need any inspiration!


I've used one of their images on my card this week and this one is called 'surprise gift'.

I really enjoyed colouring her in with my promarkers.  I added lots of glitter and some white dots to give her a polka dot dress!
I added some coordinating papers and even added some paper flowers! (Need to use up my stash of flowers too!)  I added some die cut clouds and a little picket fence as well as the buttons to match my colours!

I hope you are able to join in with my challenge this week!   Don't forget you can make anything you want, it doesn’t have to be a card, all creations are welcome.  The only rule we have is that you must have a hand coloured image on your creation.  So grab your markers, join in and have some fun!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!
Hugs, Karen x

Spots and/or stripes

 Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Elaine has given us the fab theme of 'Spots and/or stripes'.

We are kindly sponsored by Beccy's Place and she is offering the lucky winner a $10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.  There are some gorgeous images available - you will certainly be spolit for choice!


The Design Team were lucky enough to have one of her images to play with this week and I've used this one called 'Simple Daisies'.

I really enjoyed colouring this image with my promarkers.  It's a gorgeous image that would suit so many different occasions.  
I couldn't find some stripy paper to match my image so I made my own with my promarkers!!  I used all the colours that I used in the image and just coloured a lot of lines!  I've never done this before but will definitely use this technique again!
I then die cut lots of banner shapes from the paper and added doodles to them!  I saw this design in a crafty magazine so thought I'd give it a go!
The sentiment is also from Beccy's Place - I just sized it up to go with my image,
I hope you can join in with this week's challenge.  Remember, you can use any of your markers but you must follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize.
Crafty hugs,
