Yet More Spring Stroll from Angel Crafts

I just can't seem to stop playing with the Spring Stroll ribbon kit from Angel Crafts - there are just so many pretty ribbons in there. I thought I'd try out a smaller basket woven ribbon panel this time, instead of the whole background - and I think it's quite cute, what do you think? don't worry, you can be brutally honest - I can handle constructive criticism :)

Papers are Kaisercraft La-Di-Da from Angel Crafts, cardstock from core'dinations, ribbons and bling from the Spring Stroll ribbon kit from Angel Crafts.

Passion for Promarkers #49 - Sketch & Handmade Flowers

Where oh where does the time go? the weekend passed quicker than the speed of light!

As it's Tuesday morning, we've another new challenge for you over at Passion for Promarkers - this week Michele has given us a super sketch to work from as well as the additional item - handmade flowers, which is one of Michele's specialities.

I decided to turn Michele's sketch on it's side so that the oblong of the image worked a bit better. I made this card for a bloggy buddy and the MIL of Sarah, one of my teamies at PfP - the very talented Fiona who is under the weather at the moment and in hospital. So, get well soon Fi!!

The papers are all Kaisercraft Peachy Keen from Angel Crafts, the peach cardstock is core'dinations, the greeting is a Hero Arts stamp and the wee pearls are from Hobbycraft. The handmade flowers were punched using 2 EK Success retro flower punches and embossed on the reverse.

Here's poor wee Suzy's close-up...

So, are you up for the challenge? need a little more inspiration? then go have a look at the other DT creations for more ideas of how to make handmade flowers.

The prize this week is a pack of 5 Promarkers from the home of promarkers themselves

Princess Pepsi

It's been brought to my attention that I haven't done a Princess Pepsi Update for quite a while.

So here's a couple of pics I took the other day - at first glance she looks awfully sad, but if you look closely, you can see the blur that is her wee waggy tail.

She's growing up so fast, it's so weird when I look back at the pics of her when we first got her and she looks so tiny. 

The garden is now secure - the fence is sorted, so she's running around the garden like a loony with the kids as I'm typing this.

**Edited to add...
Perhaps the garden isn't completely secure then, the little terror managed to escape next door - and what did the neighbours do? just stood there and waited for us to come and get her! didn't occur to them to grab her collar
Anyway, we've got her back and Graham is away planking up the gap. So here's a few pics of Pepsi and the kids in the garden this afternoon...
Here's her trying to find the frog at the edge of the pond...

There's no show without Punch, here's Ziggy waiting to mug Pepsi as she races past him...
