Here's my creation which is 2 digital stamps by Crafts & Me; Noon and I've used part of the moon swing, both you will find HERE.  I've coloured with promarkers and airbrushed the clouds also the sentiment was a peel off, airbrushed with promarkers to match the dress then the peel off removed.  The wings are coloured with a clear sakura stardust pen.

Thanks for coming to visit, don't forget to leave me a comment and hop on over to AMY!

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS BLOG HOP

WELCOME TO THE PASSION FOR PROMARKERS BLOG HOP!!
Over at Passion for promarkers challenge this week we are celebrating the change of design teams with a blog hop.  I’m sure you are as excited as I am as there are lots of lovely goodies up for grabs!!  We also have a few new faces on the design team so I hope you will leave them a nice comment to welcome them. 

Firstly if you’ve arrived at my blog from TRACY'S BLOG you are in the right place, if not return to the PASSION FOR PROMARKERS CHALLENGE BLOG and start your hop again.  Our blog hop challenge will last for 2 weeks so you have plenty of time to enter your card (or cards) and hop around the whole design team. 
Our challenge theme for the next two weeks is “old & new” i.e. a brand new stamp/digi with old papers etc.  Please can you tell us your old and new items in your post.  Don’t forget to use your promarkers or aqua markers to be included in our prize draw. 

For my hop card I have used a brand spanky new stamp called Flapper Girl by a new designer Vera aka Lemon Shortbread.  Ain't she just a doll!  For my old bit I have used a corner adourner to make the panel across the centre having discovered after 5 years that the pieces come off so you can use it along an edge *smile*

As you’ve read on the challenge blog the design team are also offering some candy of their own, so please leave me a comment on this post and I will randomly draw a winner for a promarker prize courtesy of Letraset. 

You also have a “mystery word” to find and my contribution is the letter “T”.  Now pop back over to PASSION FOR PROMARKERS CHALLENGE and leave your answer in the comments section of the post over there!

 
I just want to let you know the wonderful prizes up for grabs for our blog hop challenge:

Letraset are offering a full set of Aqua Markers to one lucky winner *woohoo*.

Wendy at The Secret Crafter is offering a Basic Grey ‘Oliver’ paper pad

Emma at Crafty Emma’s Store is offering a 12 pack of Aqua Markers

Sally-Ann from DigiStamp Boutique is offering 6 digi images from her shop

I hope you will be able to join in with our challenge and also have fun taking part in our blog hop.  Don’t forget you need to “hop” on back to Passion for Promarkers blog and leave your answer! Have fun and good luck!

The Stamp Man Blog Hop, Candy, and Award Event

Hellooooooo and a very warm (or maybe snowy) Welcome/Welkom to The Stampman blog hop, candy and and Award event! This event is running from 27th December through to midnight GMT on 3rd January 2010

If you've landed here from Michelle's blog then you're on the right track. If not then hop back to the start of the Blog Hop which is at The Stampman Blog so that you don't miss out on your chance to win goodies along the way! You need to visit all the blogs and collect the letters AND leave us lovely comments so that we know you've been and when you're done you'll end up back on The Stampman blog where you can post a link to your favourite creation and enter the prize draw!

Here's what you have to do
Find a project of your own from this year that you feel is your best/favourite and write a post on your blog about it. It can be a card, a layout, an altered project, or even a new technique that you have mastered this year. It must be anything crafty that you have made and designed yourself. You can mention why you liked this project, details or instructions for it, or simply just post the picture, this is up to you.

Firstly an Award! More details of these can also be found on The Stampman Blog.

This is my award for showing my best or most favourite crafting project of 2009. Jill said it would be easy this, errrrr no lol lol! Took me a while to decide as my style has changed so much over the past 12 months, I kinda went full circle away from my regular style towards the more cute then back again and have taken some elements of differing styles with me so this card uses several of the styles I've explored this year including cute, digital, distressed and making my own embellishments.


The background, palm leaves and even coconuts (which are shaggy by the way!) are all made from starburst stains. For full destructions on what I used you can view the original post here


I also like this project because of the lion which ties in with my South African links. My OH is South African so my 2 babies are half Saffers and I also have several crafting friends who are SA too :-) The card actually went off to live in Denmark though!





Okies are you looking for a letter??

Tell me tell me what is it?? I'm such a tease hehe! Its.........

O

Jill is also being a tease and only letting you (and us!) know along the way what the prizes are so for visiting my blog my prize is.....

A selection of MOONGLOW products woo hoo!

Remember you need to leave comments on ALL the blogs to be eligible x

Your next stop is the awesomely talented Tracey Coates who is the designer of the fabulous starburst fairies, butterfly beauties and classical instruments stamp sheets you'll see used on my blog very often!
