Morning all! I had a quick look through my stats last night and note how popular my promarker tutorial posts still are particularly after xmas so what I was wondering is what would you like to see tutorials on? Would you like to see them on bears/fur, on adding depth, grounding, grass, more hair and skin ones?
Let me know here and we'll do that :)

Midway reminder Crafts & Me anything goes
Evening all! Bet you thought I'd forgot my resolution hehe! Fear not I'm here lol! Not here for much longer mind as I've had some Ovaltine so I'll be hitting the sack soon enough.
Kids went back to school today, they were NOT impressed being woken up at 7.30 am after all the long lie ins we've had over christmas break. Ethan was particularly miffed saying But its still dark!!
After school I took them to the local dog shelter as we're considering getting a puppy but I wanted to see how they reacted around dogs first. Ethan took it in his stride, Mols was a tad scared particularly of a huge rottie, so was I lol! It just didnt seem to like people in general :/
No rush yet and we're still considering breeds, having some good suggestions on facebook, border terrier is my fav but I think Mols would love a spaniel with floppy ears.
Right-O onto my creation today and its a mid-way reminder for Crafts & Me Challenge which is running for 4 weeks and is an ANYTHING GOES. For this I wanted to make a "Sound & Light Thingy" :D
Its a windchime but also has hanging stars with AB coating that really sparkle in the light. I used the Crafts & Me digi MAY and coloured with promarkers and added versacolor ink in pale purple and a darker purple around the edge. I did play around with some flowers and whatnot but decided to leave it as is. The wires are secured on a strip of mounting board in the middle so its very secure although they do get tangled up and took me about 15 minutes to untangle them and hang it up lol! The hanger is made of AB coated crystals too.

Thanks at Passion for Promarkers
Morning all! We're kicking off the New Year challenges at Passion for Promarkers with the theme 'Thanks'
The prize on offer is from Letraset who are offering one of their stamping kits so get your thinking caps on! As always you will need to use promarkers, aquamarkers, flexmarkers or tria to be eligible.
For this I used an image by Teddy Bo coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers. The DP is by bearly mine designs. and I used a Martha stewart punch for the centre panel adding a length of holographic silver ribbon and a white organza bow.

Beaded earrings
Afternoon all! Been having a bit of a tidy up today, cant wait to get the house back to normal on wednesday when kids go back to school and I can take the decs down. I'll miss the christmas tree although its a real one that can be planted. Must say I'm very pleased with it, I got a blue/green one from B&Q last year because it said low drop but it was anything but! If you brushed past it then it shed loads of needles on the floor, was a constant battle with it. It was my first time having a real tree and I found it really off putting but on a whim this year I bought one in ASDA for £15 and its hardly had any drop at all, stayed upright, not required much maintenance for water or drop so been really pleased with it.
Got a couple of pics to show you today of one of my other loves - beads! Been starting to make earrings as I've been having a bit of a self makeover with some new clothes and stuff, amazing what you can get off ebay and I can be dressed very very smartly for less than £3 lol! Thought I'd make some earrings to match so what you think? The silver ear hooks make my ears itch like crazy so I use gold :)
I got the black beads with flowers in from Pwllheli, the flowers look like they're floating. I'm wearing a lot of turquoise at the mo so these are to go with those outfits. Have to take the longs ones off if I'm driving as they catch on my coat.
These are absolutely gorgeous deep purple beads from Tiddly Beads on ebay, they're tanzanite fire polished and look delicious!
Well back to my housework, hope nobody visits today coz I'd be dead embarrassed lol! x

Happy New Year!
Morning all! Hope you all had a great new year! I went to bed with a headache and hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol lol! Had a nice NYE playing on the Wii with my lad, we were doing Just Dance and he was slaughtering me until I held the remote properly and got some points for my efforts! Should have got one of these ages ago as its really nice for the family to play each other instead of going off and doing individual things, the kids are playing cycling racing against each other at the moment :) We all registered on the wii fit yesterday and it thinks I'm fat and old haha! Need to lose a bit of weight me thinks, I'm not massive but a few pounds off wouldnt hurt.
Well this is my first post of the year with many more to come! I've chosen a lovely little image by Di's Digi Downloads called Fairy & Bear, I do like this character range, very sweet. I got some new papers the other day and chose a papermania stack which is pink so you'll be seeing lots of pink on here lol! The large flower is also papermana from a co-ordinating range which I cut in half and added a die cut of vellum swirl. I've coloured the image with promarkers and used a muted pink flexmarker to blend. The pink promarkers I used for the dress were rose pink and antique pink with chestnut, umber, tan and pastel yellow for the hair, ivory, blush, soft peach and coral for the face and cinnamon, buttercup and ivory for the bear.
