AYLI - Favourite Colouring Medium

 It is time for another new challenge at


where we are asking you to share your projects using your favourite colouring medium.
Many of you will know that I have a longstanding love of Promarkers. I have various sets from all the other well known brands of alcohol markers but never seem to get on quite so well with them as I do my Promarkers. They blend so beautifully and the colour families go so well together.

I made these cards to send to my cousins with a little gift following the loss of their Mum (my Auntie Jill) who suffered with dementia for many years. She was also my Dad's twin Sister so I like to think that they are now reunited after nearly thirty years of being apart.



I coloured one blue and one pink to go with the ceramic hearts that went with them from here (seriously if you are looking for a beautiful unique gift that won't break the bank, take a look at Sarah's work!!).
As is so often the case the colouring does not really show at it's best but I promise you that the backgrounds are coloured to match the pretty Marianne papers. The stamp is a Woodware one that I won in a challenge at Allsorts. Obviously coloured with Promarkers but I also stamped onto the patterned paper and cut the frame to stick on top. The Sent with Love sentiment was also a Woodware set that I found "yellowing with age" in a drawer...ooops!!

Lovely to see you today, hope you will have a minute or two to go and take a peep at what my teamies have done too!! xx

A bit of As You Like It Bingo!!

Happy Thursday everyone, I don't know about you but I am looking forward to a long weekend here in the UK. Added to that, it's Martin's weekend off too so all is well with the world!!

Being Thursday, it's also the start of a new challenge at


and breaking with tradition be don't have an "either/or" theme this time, we have a 
Bingo board for you to choose from.


I chose the bottom line, Pearls, Clean and Simple and Pink.


I used the leftover scrap from my tulips card as the pink element, the pearls came from my stash and the adorable stamp was part of my  Birthday present from a dear blogging buddy (thank you again, she's going to get lots of use!!). Darnell is entirely responsible for the die cut message as she showcased a card so brilliantly that I "had" to seek out the Impression Obsession set and buy it!!

Hopefully you will have some extra crafty time so please play along, you will be most welcome!!
