Jogger Mae.

Here's my latest card for the I love Promarkers blog and this weeks theme is Sport. I'm a little late posting this on my blog - so I apologize. I've had this digi image for a while and she is Jogger Mae from Some Odd Girl.

I go jogging a couple of times a week - Not far mind - usually about 5 or 6 k and I'm knackered!! I only do it because I love eating chocolate and cake. But I'm actually at the point now where I miss it if I don't manage to get out a least once a week. Having said that it doesn't seem to be getting any easier!! And I certainly wouldn't go out with my tummy wobbling around in shorts and a crop top... there is a big baggy t-shirt over the top when I go jogging!

To make this card I used background papers from Crate paper - Maggie Holmes and On trend collections. I also die cut a skyline scene from Shimmery Blue bazzill and attached some Doodlebug enamel dots and an arrow in co-ordinating colours. I then added a Die cut Happy from Memory Box.

I used these promarkers & Flexmarkers -
Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft peach, Blush & Antique White
Hair - Satin, Sandstone, Cocoa & Walnut.
Shorts - Ice Greys.
Top - Baby Pink, Cerise & Vermillion.
Trainers - Bright Orange
Eyes - Mint & Pastel Green.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges :
Cards Galore - Use a digi.
Crafts 4 Eternity - Sport.
Sugar & Betty - ATG
The Paper Nest Dolls - AATG.
CraftyHazelnuts - Patterned papers
Crafty time - Punches or die.

Well that's all from me for now.

Sorry for the neglect!

Blimey - I didn't post at all in April! My excuse is that the House has been demanding my attention (ie the Boyf has been writing lists of jobs that need doing.) We have decorated all the bedrooms now and started on the dining room. But what I've been mostly busy with is my garden. Its took me ages to weed and plant everywhere. Its looking good now and all my veggies are doing well - We have spinach, peas, carrots, tomatoes, beetroot, lettuce, pak choi and so much more that I won't bore you with... but I may post a picture someday soon...(I know - spoil you readers!)

So - here are my only two creations from recent times. 

I don't think this one is finished?? It needs a greeting but not sure what yet! I used my doodlebug glitter again over orange promarkers to give it the scaly sparkle. The Mermaid is a digital image from Some Odd Girl and I will enter it into the challenge as I am loving the orange and pink colour combo at the moment. The patterned papers are also Doodlebug. 

This image is another from Stamping Bella - Uptown Girls range. I am loving these at the mo. I've paper pieced with paper from Crate Paper On Trend range and then used some strips of the same range down the side. I added some co-ordinating ribbon, doodlebug Sequins and resin flowers. I stamped the greeting from a set I have from Paper Smooches and added a few gems. The photo doesn't show it but I used Wink of Stella to accent the chair and also glossy accents on the wine bottle and glass.

Well - that's all for now. Promise not to leave it for so long next time! (:(|)x
