Half Marathon

Hey peeps, hope you are all okay, so sorry about my lack of blogging/comment leaving etc. I have had a hectic few weeks...well months actually, I just don't seem to get time to craft and blog hop these days!!! A lottery win sure would help as I could ditch the full time job, but hey I don't play so not chance of that happening soon!!!

Anyway, I am also busy training for my first half marathon, I am raising money for the charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young). I have chosen this one in memory of my young work colleague and friend Stuart Hudson who collapsed and died last year whilst playing football from an undiagnosed heart condition.

If you are able to sponser me to help raise money for this wonderful cause I would be very grateful, I have a web page where you can donate securley...no sponser forms, no collecting money etc....it's fab!!! You can find my page here

Anyway, thank you for reading this post, I hope to get back into regular blogging/comment leaving a.s.a.p

Passion for Promarkers

Howdy peeps,

Tuesday again, thank goodnes Monday is behind us that's all I can say. Anyway, time for another Passion for Promarkers challenge and this week is a colour challenge for ya, Mango & Bright Green, got to say I struggled with this one and I am not at all happy with my offering but I ran out of time again.......I have been so busy this year!!!!

I used this digi clown which I think is a Dustin Pike image....correct me if I am wrong!!! The sentiment is from a Stampin Up set called Birthday Cheers & Wishes, I thought he was perfect for party invites.

Anyway, have a great week

Passion for Promarkers

Hey peeps, hope you are all ok, Passion for Promarkers is here again and this week the colours are Tulip Yellow & Baby Pink and we would also like to see stitching on your cards, faux or real.

Anyway, here is my card:

I have used this sweet chick from the Digistamp Boutique and coloured her in the following Promarkers:

cerise, pale pink, baby pink, sunflower, tulip yellow, bright green & meadow greem

The sentiment is computer generated, I have used white craftwork card candy dots for the embellies, coloured with the baby pink Promarker, The ribbon is from my stash and the green panel has been embossed with the swiss dots cuttlebug folder.

Passion for Promarkers Buttons & Bows

Tuesday rolls around so quickly & along with it comes Passion for Promarkers, this week Sue wants us to use buttons & Bows on our cards. I decided a baby card was in order for this challenge so I inked up a rather neglected Elzybells stamp I have had collecting dust for a while, such a cute stamp, I do like Elzybells products, I must get more!!!!



The paper is Imaginecse & the ribbon & button are from my stash. I am not sure where I have seen this layout before but it was defo on someone's blog........if it's yours let me know so I can give you proper credit.

Hope you have a great day, I will be working.....Yawn

Another CASE

Happy Valentines day to you all, hope cupid got his aim right for you!!! My hubby is such a romantic, he has gone off roading with his pals today....LOL. I don't mind, I am not a romantic person myself, so he is forgiven.

Anyway forgive me for being such a copy cat with the last 2 cards I have posted but sometimes I like to just make a card without having to think for myself!! I could not resist CASEing this card from the fab Maria Bell, Maria has hundreds of wonderful cards on her blog...............I would love to CASE them all!!!!!

Anyway, I changed a few subtle things, such as added a button to the bow & used Basic grey backing paper as I did not have the one Maria used...LOL.... I have inked up my poor neglected GF stamps at last, they are sooooooo sweet.

Anyway, I best get the housework done, got loads to do today!!

CASED Valentine

Happy Friday to you all, I am glad it's the weekend but I am working all day again tomorrow, I have worked 6 days a week since the New Year, it's beginning to take it's toll but got to get the overtime whilst it's on offer, it won't last long considering there are more job cuts on the horizon..........or will it??? The overtime is required as a result of the last batch of job cuts so if we lose any more peeps it will only get worse!!

Anyway here is another Valentine card, CASED from the fab Ilina Crouse, I couldn't resist, I love it. On the inside I have hid the ribbon and patching with another piece of Kraft cut to size, such a simple but effective card me thinks.

Supplies used:

Stampin up, well scripted (not available in the UK), Heart punch, Kraft card
Non SU - DP, Ribbon & heart nesties, paper piercer

Hope you like it, I am hoping to catch up on my commenting soon, I am just struggling to fit everything in on a Sunday.......need more hours in the day!!!
