Passion for Promarkers #44 - Springtime + animal

Finally Spring seems to be making an appearance - not before time! The snowdrops and crocuses are all out in the garden, and the other spring bulbs are all starting to ease themselves out of the ground too.
So Denise has chosen Springtime as the theme this week at Passion for Promarkers and she has an added extra - you have to include an animal and of course you can use any colours of promarkers.

Just for a wee change I thought I'd make a boys card - I'll be giving this one to my wee boys for Easter.

We also have a fabulous prize from Angel Crafts - £10 to spend in Angela's online store.

The lime paper is Basic Grey Lemonade and the stripy paper is Making Memories Just Chillin Boy, yellow card stock is core'dinations and the white card candy is from Craftwork Cards

Car Shopping & Blog Hopping

It's official, car-shopping sucks!!

Apparently we're off looking at more cars today, although I suspect we'll be buying the first one we looked at yesterday.

Anyhoo, onto something a bit more exciting, the Sweet Sketch Wednesday DT are running a fun 'bunny hop' from today, and we are the sponsor, so lots of prizes to be won if you take part...plus there is 10% off all images on the Digistamp Boutique website during the hop!

Here are the rules of the contest for a chance to win:

1. Comment on each of the Design Team blogs and become a follower.
2. Comment on Digi Stamp Boutique blog and become a follower.
3. Return to Sweet Sketch Wednesday after you have completed the blog hop and leave a comment and become a follower.
4. By doing this, you will have a chance to win an image or images from Digi Stamp Boutique. That means you will have 12 chances to win a prize.
5. After participating in the Bunny Hop, create an Easter or Spring card with the Bunny Hop Sketch or create an altered Easter/Spring item. Then post it on Mr. Linky. Completing all of this will qualify you for the grand prize on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday blog.

Let’s begin...
Head on over to Arlana’s blog and see her gorgeous card. Then hop on over to the next blog and so forth in order. The next Design Team name will be posted so that you will be able to follow from one blog to the next. i.e: From here hop to Nancy’s blog.

Digistamp Boutique - March Release and DT

Morning folks, hope you all had a good weekend.
It's the first of March already - 2010 seems to passing at the speed of light and today is the release of Sally-Ann's new Spring Coco and Friends collection over at Digistamp Boutique

Spring Coco and all his wee friends are just perfect for all your Easter and Spring cards - in fact I'm pretty sure you could use them for loads of occassions.

So here's what I've done with a couple of the images from the collection...
