I am so glad I found it because I ADORE my promarkers so much.

The celebration prizes are awesome too...but I am not sharing them here! I want you to go over to the Passion for Promarkers Challenge blog and see them for yourself because the DT cards are just too good to miss this week, they are all stunning.

It's a special challenge so Da Bosses have chosen a really easy theme for you of...

"no sentiment"

(please note we are only accepting a maximum of 3 entries per person for this one challenge only.)

To be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. pro, flex, tria, aqua, metallic or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.  

I just had to use another one of my stamp club Tilda's! this one I do know the name of! she is called Lazy Tilda and I just adore her! Her water is actually all glossy and cute with glossy accents but as always I struggled with a piccy to show that! hey ho! you can't have it all!! lol!!!

So, now I've bored your socks off with my make,  go over to the Passion for Promarkers Challenge blog and see my gorgeous teamies work! swooooon just swoooooon!!!

Tale of a tail....

Tale of a tail Wryn from the clearwater fundraiser.

Background- Map my Life! from Tiddly Inks.

Morning all!!

How are you all this morning? we had a super duper busy day yesterday sorting a few bits out for home and then I fell asleep with Mo again!! lol!! so I had to blog this as soon as I got the big pooter on this morning!!!

Alyce over at Kit and Clowder is having a big fundraising celebration party this weekend and in all the party goodness there is a little fundraiser just for Clearwater Marine Aqaurium where winter the dolphin lives. Just look at this!!!

Now, the little man in our house has been obsessed with Winter ever since he saw Dolphin Tale and often pops in to watch her on what he calls Wintercam!!! so obviously when it came to the donation options, he wanted to get all 3 so he could give as many pennies as he wanted for the aquarium.

Of course, my absolute favourite was the little wryn Tale of a tail image drawn by Christy Croll from Tiddly Inks. I used the .png version so that I could add her onto Christy's awesome Map My Life! paper, its just perfect for a sea and mermaid theme so I just had to use it!!

Then it was just a case of adding a few die cuts and some of mine and little Mo's mini sea shell stash from the beach!! we LOVE collecting these teeeny shells in summer walks along the shoreline. He always goes for the teeny ones because he thinks they are more magical and I have to agree!!

Right, go to get a shifty on!! tonnes of ironing to do and a bit more tidying while Scott gets to work boxing the boiler in after all our disasters this week!!

Simon....

Image- Simon.

Papers-Teen Angst from We are memory makers.

Morning all!!

I am having a bit of a Golden Oldie post for my make over on the Clubhouse Blog today but don't worry peeps!! even though my Simon I used is a stampavie stamp and no longer in production, Simon is a digital over in Mo's Digital Pencil shop so phew!!!!!

I had so much fun making this yesterday and the sentiment is a funny one because its what my little Mo says all the time at the minute for something that is great!! its too funny though because this stamp is from a baby set I have!! lol!!!

Then of course it just needed some cool papers to go with it (...the day I run out of these Teen Angst papers will be a sad sad day!!!).

Right! I am off to get a load of laundry in the machine, attack the ironing pile and walk the dogs!! Have a fabalicious day everyone!
