PFP Challenge week 53

The challenge over at Passion for ProMarkers this week is "Anything Goes" you just have to use your ProMarkers.

As they are celebrating their first anniversary they are giving away some amazing prizes so pop over and have a look.

So here is card number one that I have done.

The image is from the new Magnolia range. The papers are Papermania Rose Garden and are distressed using Tim Holtz's Pumice Stone Distress Ink Pad. The flowers and gems are from my stash and I have used a doily behind the image. I have had to use a large one and cut it down as I can't find the 100 smaller ones I have :( How do you mislay that many?

Card for 3 challenges

Hello all, it's been a while hasn't it. I've been rather busy sunning myself in Egypt. It's very hard work but someone has to do it! ;-)

Well it's back to the good old English weather, which for once is gloriously sunny, so I've dragged myself out of the garden and into my craft room to do some challenges. I found that one card would cover all my usual 3 challenges this week, so more time for basking in the sun!

The 1st challenge is at Passion for ProMarkers this week is set by Tracy and the theme she has set is:‘fantasy/mythology’

The 2nd challenge is at Oh Alice! Chapter 14 and it is to follow a sketch.

This is the sketch

The 3rd challenge is at Dotties World this week it is set by Adele and she wants us to have a thank you greeting on the card.

Card for 3 challenges

I didn't do any challenges last week with me supposedly going on holiday, but as you all know the skies were empty so here I am stuck until this Friday. And for this reason I have been able to do a card. I have done the card for 3 challenges, the first one being at Oh Alice! The challenge this week is to follow the sketch below
The second challenge is Dotties World this week it is set by Louise and here is what she says: "This week I'd like you to fill your pockets! :) In other words include a pocket in your creation, I don't mind what you put in it as long as the pocket is there....if you are sending it to me £10 notes work well :D.
Don't forget Dottie's World challenges MUST include a Charmed download!"

And the 3rd and final challenge is Passion for ProMarkers this week is set by Maria and the theme she has set is:

“in the garden”

i.e. things you may see in the garden - flowers, vegetables or even a garden shed, it’s entirely up to you, as long as you colour your image with promarkers you will be in with a chance of winning our prize.
Their sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.

And here is my creation

The image is from the Pixie Chicks collection which is available at Charmed cards and crafts and is of course coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are My Minds Eye.

Bags for a change

It's not often I do any sewing these days since the girls stopped wanting fancy dress outfits, but this weekend my shoulder was really really bad so I thought I'd get my machine out.
I'd seen some Mad Hatter (the wonderful Mr Depp) tote bags in the city centre but they were way out of my price bracket, a few of them were £49.99!!!! Yes I know. Anyway, I had some material left over from a Matrix coat I made Dave a few years back, and some printable canvas, so thought I'd have a go at making a tote. I made one and used it on Saturday when I was out shopping and got quite a few comments about it, so off the the fabric shop I toddled and bought some denim and some canvas and decided to make some more to see if they would sell and here are the ones I've done so far.

Number 1 (SOLD)

Reverse of number 1

number 2 (SOLD)

Reverse of number 2

number 3

Reverse of number 3

number 4Reverse of number 4If you would like one I am selling them for £10 each. Just send me an email.

The denim ones have a light blue lining, and the canvas ones have a red and white checked lining. Please remember these are handmade by little old me in pain so the stitching isn't perfectly straight. The are very strong though, as I have triple stitched them all.
