AYLI Favourite Colouring Medium

 Hello everyone. I hope this finds you all well and settling into this new year. I am actually enjoying January so far. Although it's been very frosty the daylight is stretching out just a little bit longer in the afternoon so that's good. I noticed a snowdrop in Mog and Suzy's garden today which made me very happy and the daffodils are pushing their way up too. Still, mustn't get ahead of myself, I am sure there will be still some horrid weather to come.

Anyway, my post today is to share some inspiration and encourage you to join in at


where we are looking forward to seeing your projects showcasing your favourite colouring medium. Mine is Promarkers. I have tried all kinds of pens, pencils and inks over the years but still go back to my trusty Promarkers. They are so familiar and never let me down. Here's what I did with them...a card for a very special little lady who was 5 years old last weekend. 



Our sponsor is the fabulous Lili of the Valley and I used You're a Star, in rubber form, (she is available as a digi here). I tend to shy away from purple but Mollie loves it so Purple it was!! The date stamp is also LOTV and the papers MFT. I added lots of glitter in various forms and even the handwritten month and year on the date stamp was done in glittery purple!! 

Here is the Birthday girl


Thankyou for visiting today. See you soon xx

I am sure the purple girl will love her special card. Agree it's so nice to see daylight stretching and here too there are subtle hints of Spring peeping out of the ground.

SarahR said...

Hi Sarah, I have no idea why it's taken me so long to pop into your blog to admire this super sweet card! Love the image - but then who doesn't adore LoTV (they've got to be very hard-hearted if they don't!). I quite like purples myself, but I think a good deep red or blue is my total fav. I also used to love my ProMarkers, before I went to the Copic side!!

Hopefully the birthday was a enjoyed by all, but especially the guest of honour herself!

I hope little Mollie had a lovely birthday and I'm sure she loved her glittery purple card too. I haven't been in Blogland much either(only to cover my DT commitments) January has been rather busy with all sorts of things cropping up and not enough hours in the day. Still, that means time goes quickly and we are already into February - let's hope the weather holds and Spring is on it's way.
