I'm Back !!!!!!!

Hi peeps,

Thought I would pop on to let you now that I have not vanished off the face of the earth, life has been getting in the way of my favourite hobby and I have spent little time on the computer visiting my fave blogs or making cards!!!

Hope you are all well, promise I will pop over and see my usuals as soon as I can, we have another busy weekend in store catching up with family and friends, cleaning and running errands, I am sure you all know what I mean.

Anyway my sis text me the other night to ask if I had a wedding card she could send to a special couple, well I didn't......in fact I have very few 'ready to go' cards, I really want to change all that but never seem to get the time!!

I decided to CASE this stunner by Julie Lacey, I copied it more or less exact, don't you just love Papertrey Ink's Big & Bold wishes set and SU night and day DSP really compliments it, I just love black and white. The flutterby is Papertrey's butterfly die, love it!!!




Whilst I had the stamp set out I thought I would make a couple more using Julies fab idea, I made another wedding card, this time in cream and gold and I embossed the Mr & Mrs this time, the DSP is Magnolia, available here, I must get more it.

Finally I made a thank you card, again I used Papertrey's Big and Bold wishes set, just love it, the DSP is MME Lush Red medium polka dot paper, i got mine in Hobbycraft.

Anyway, hope you like them, must dash got housework to do.....groan!!

Hugs

Passion for Promarkers Strawberries & Cream

Wow Tuesday again already!!!! Where did my weekend go??

Time for another Passion for Promarkers challenge & this week Sue has chosen the theme 'Strawberries & Cream' I chose to use this strawberry cupcake digi from 'creations by Penny' and it was only a dollar....bargain!! I coloured the sweet cupcake in the following colours:

Red, salmon pink, baby pink, pale pink, Bright green, leaf green, caramel & sandstone



I cut it out with my Circle nesties and mounted it on to Stampin up old olive cardstock cut out with oval nesties. The strawberry paper is from the Nana's Nursery Baby Girl 6x6 paper pad and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Cupcake Collection, i used some more old olive for matting & layering along with some Kraft. I finished the card off with some Old Olive satin Ribbon, currently available in Stampin Up's mini catty.

I have some news by the way, I announced a few weeks ago that I was doing a half marathon in July for the Charity Cardiac Risk in the Young, well I have been training hard and I am running up to 6.5miles now. I have always wanted to do a full marathon and on Friday I got confirmation that I have a charity place running in next years Edinburgh marathon for the RNLI. I am so excited but nervous to........not quite sure what I am letting myself in for!!!! Anyway I will keep you posted.

Thanks for stopping by, please feel free to leave a comment to let me know you have popped in and I will stop by and see you

Thanks

Sarah
