Currently (till end of Dec 2013) the loverly "Make It Crafty" are looking for new DT members - so I coloured up my FAVE "MIC" diggie stamp and made it into the following card using the sketch on the "MIC December Challenge".
These cards were made for a good friend x 1st card is from me and my mum to our friend and 2nd one is from her hubbie commissioned for me to make x I also made a gift of a bag charm and hook earrings (earrings shown as dangly studs as when made didnt have hook tops) x

I am well and truely addicted to the new graphIT pens and their replaceable brushtip nibs are ACE. I now have the FULL collection of pens that are out at the moment and about 25% of them have brush nibs instead of the broad nibs.
This shows my graphIT collection in pride of place on my crafty desk - have stacked to one side my promarkers/flexmarkers/Ciao collections, so that I can have more room to work.
Over at the Visible Image blog the challenge is "All about the Sentiment" and I have made the following card as an entry. I used 2x Visible image stamps - sentiment and butterfly.
Also entering it into the "BUTTERFLIES" challenge over on the Imagination crafts challenge blog x
Well I decided to play with my brand new metallic pan pastels and I took some of the bronze and copper colour pastel and mixed it into glossy gel medium to make my own paint. After gesso-ing my frame I stamped and heat embossed some texture/sentiment/tree from one of the "Sam Poole designed Stamp sheets". I then took the homemade paint and slapped it all over the frame, I then dried it briefly with heat gun and the results are below. This was my FIRST play with my new metallic pan pastels and have deicded I will enter my make into the "ANYTHING GOES Challenge" over on the pan pastel blog.
I've fallen in love with GraphIT markers, as you can tell not many to get now lol
But look at my latest Stashie delivery - LOTS of pan pastels came to live with me alongside MORE Kaisercraft pads BUT the metallic pan pastels are a must have for pastel lovers !!
I think I am a CRAFT ADDICT with no doubt but hey ho I LOVE CRAFTING !!
Over on the Saturated Canary blog the current challenge is a "Colouring technique" either: dotted background, cloudy background or faint line technique.
I decided to play along with the challenge and made the following card - sorry the glossy accents wasnt quite dry on photo but couldnt wait to share the card as am quite pleased with it, despite it being simple I actually really like it.
Over at the Tiddly Inks challenge blog the current challenge is: Back To School and after a rough tme with my own health and my mum also being rushed into hospital ill (Now home), I decided I needed a distraction so set about making a card for the challenge using the loverly diggie: Stand Out In The Crowd which I though was perfect.
Now normally I would have said I used my promarkers but I am also playing with some GORGEOUS new pens called "GraphIT Markers" INFO HERE which are also an alcohol marker but are really nice pens and I am loving them and their differences to other pens.
Any of my crafty/arty friends as bad as me for getting STASH deliveries and thinking oooppppssss where am I going to put that and this lol
Yes I got another stashie delivery due today including my first ever 96x GraphIT markers pens - yes I am going to be giving them a good hammering and trying them out to see if I wanta add the full set to my pen addict stash lol
I am defo addicted to PENS - whats your stashie addiction friends ?? Please share your addiction to help me pass time waiting for Mr TNT Courier xx
The August challenge over at Visible Image is ANYTHING GOES which I couldnt resist entering.
I used both Bronte Border and the DREAM part off of the set Imagine Dream Inspire on the topper I created for this card. I also used my Inkadinkado stamping gear to creat the background paper.
Hope you like my entry into the August Visible image challenge.
