Passion for Promarkers #46 - The Young Ones

Oh no, I'm running a bit late this week - forgot to do this post yesterday and schedule it for 9am today. Never mind, better late than never.
This week at Passion for Promarkers, the theme has been chosen by Emma - one of our brand new team members, and she chose The Young Ones. Basically this means to make a creation for the children, and I chose to make a baby card. Remember you can use any colours of promarkers for this challenge.

So what's the prize this week? Well our sponsor this week is Sugar Nellie, who have given us 2 beautiful stamps to give away, Purrfect Playmates and Come fly with me

So here's my wee offering this week...

Papers are all Cosmo Cricket Earth Story, cardstock is core'dinations and the greeting was a freebie stamp from Papercraft Inspirations magazine this month.

Here's a close-up of Koetie Cow...
We're looking forward to seeing all your Young Ones entries this week.

Digistamp Boutique GDT - Offer of the Month

Hiya, it feels like I've been away for ages, hope you all had a fab Easter, and hope you weren't sick from all the chocolate you've been scoffing lol

Well, I haven't been completely idle while on holiday last week - I did manage to find some time in the evenings to colour in a few images ready to make cards on my return. These images are all from the April Offer of the Month over at Digistamp Boutique. Sadly this is my last month as GDT, but I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Sally-Ann and her fabulous images, and also with her super DT.

If you fancy having a wee splurge on these gorgeous images, then pop over to Digistamp Boutique today - there's 10% off, but it ends today, so be quick.
As if you needed any further incentive to treat yourself to some of Sally-Ann's images, she has also restarted the Offer of the Month competition - you'll find all the details on the DSB blog.

First up is Marty Mouse...

Passion for Promarkers #45 - 2 Images

I had to give this challenge quite a bit of thought this week - using 2 images on a card isn't as easy as I first thought. So for this week's DT card for Passion for Promarkers I decided to keep it simple and went with my timeless Gorjuss Girls.

This week you could win a 5-pack of Promarkers from

And just a wee note to let you know that I won't be commenting this week as we're away on a wee break.
