New Blog!!!

Hello all!

OK so it’s like this…my blog, this blog, and I have decided that we do not love each other anymore and are going our separate ways.  Irreconcilable differences have been declared due to slow loading, not allowing me to add badges and refusing to link to some challenges.  I mean what’s a girl to do?! Well I’ll tell you, find some-blog new that’s what and so here is my new partner in crime…..

PAPER,PENCILS AND PRETTY THINGS

If you would care to follow me and my mindless ramblings then I would be most grateful but if not that’s fine too. I will say ta-ta and thank you so much for your kindness and support. Love ya lots! 

Hugs and hopefully see ya!

………who are very kindly offering an incredible prize so check out THE BLOG for details.

Now this is actually a card I made for the Create and Craft show Nikky did a few weeks ago. 

These fabby beach huts are part of the SUMMERTIME CD DOWNLOAD and I merged them with a couple of the clouds and that big round yellow thing…now what’s it called….oh yes the sun that are also included in the bundle.  If you live in the UK you will understand my forgetful nature.  Did we have summer??  Did I miss it??

Ingredients:

Paper, sentiment and B/W digis (beach huts, sunglasses, clouds, sun): SUMMERTIME CD DOWNLOAD

Colouring Card: Neenah Solar White

Other card: Kraft

Colouring: LYRA REMBRANDT POLYCOLOR PENCILS (Colours used listed on THE PENCIL CASE BLOG)

Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Centre Stepper’ – First Edition ‘Under the Sea’ – Memory Box ‘Puffy Clouds’

Others: String – Vintage Photo and Salty Ocean DI – White gel pen

Well life can be a beach but don’t sand on ceremony and surf over to THE BLOG and join our fab challenge (don’t worry I’m off for a lie down).  And if you want to experience these amazing artist quality pencils for yourself you can get them HERE! And if you already have them and enjoy using them why not share your makes with us in our FACEBOOK GROUP! We would love to see you!
