New Etsy listings...

Good morning, crafty friends! I am trying my hardest to find some crafty motivation and get in the right frame of mind for creating, both physically and digitally...and although it is still hard, I feel I am slowly finding the inspiration to draw again!
I know I have neglected my little, online corner of Blogland and am hoping to resolve this as my motivation and inspiration returns! For now, I have two new card kits that have been listed in my Etsy shop and are also available at CraftsuPrint...

I have created two Twist and Pop kinetic cards - one with pretty butterflies and the other with my Grapevine and wine images. The card kits come with the printable template for creating the card base and mechanism, all the decorative panels, with decoupage layers and photographic instructions on how to create the card base. They are priced at £1.99 each and are available now...
I hope you like my kinetic cards and hope to be back with some more paper creations soon...
Crafty hugs,

Passion for Promarkers - Celebrations...

Good morning, Blogger buddies! We have a brand new challenge starting over at Passion for Promarkers and this week's theme has been set by the lovely Nic (aka Coops), who would like to see all your creations for 'Celebrations'...so this could be for a wedding, Birthday, new baby, or any other type of celebration!
This week we are being sponsored by The Paper Shelter who are offering one lucky winner 3 digital images from their online store...

Don't forget, to be in with a chance of winning this prize, you MUST use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products AND follow the challenge theme...it would also help the Design Team if you could state where you have used the products, i.e. coloured with Promarkers...

We were given the choice of an image to work with and I picked out the ever so pretty 'Wedding Cake'...I teamed it with pastel papers and did a bit of doodling to tie in the black outline of the image, then finished with some Liquid Pearls and a couple of diamante hearts.

I am still finding it hard to get the motivation to go in my craft room at the moment and think I may need to do a declutter, to clear my head and craft space a little...we have had some wonderful weather recently, which means we have been spending time outside and in our beloved campervan, Daisy! We got to spend the weekend at a fabulous site in Mid Wales called Fforest Fields, near Builth Wells and thoroughly enjoyed just chilling out in the sunshine...Josh got to have a go at kayaking on the lake and thinks he may have found a new hobby, so I'll have to get him brushed up on his swimming skills!...

It's back to the usual sunshine and showers this week, so maybe I'll be inclined to do more inside...I have a bathroom to paint, bedroom to sort out and craft room to declutter, so wish me luck!
Hope you can find the time to play along with our challenge this week and I look forward to seeing what you all create!
Hugs,

Passion for Promarkers - Blooming Days...

Good morning, crafty friends and a happy, if somewhat grey, Tuesday to you all! It's the start of a brand new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers and the lovely Marie has chosen us a Springtime theme of 'Blooming Days', so we'd like to see all those florals...it can be a floral image, papers, die cuts, embellishments or even embossing!
We are being sponsored by the wonderful All Dressed Up Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a choice of 2 digital images from their store...so what are you waiting for?...floral frenzy!

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I chose the ever so pretty Jam Jars...

I decided to create a shaker card, as I've not done one for AGES, though I don't know if it shows up very well in my photo...mainly because I have the workmen in stripping the bathroom out and just had to grab a photo on my phone when I got chance!
It's a bit of a chaotic week in our household, with the work going on upstairs and trying to get the camper, and everything that needs to go in it, ready for a friend's wedding this weekend, plus keeping on top of the usual stuff, clothes for school/work, packed lunches, washing/ironing, etc...how do people manage to go to work?! I'm sure I have less hours in a day than everyone else!
Right got to dash, workmen will be here any minute, so I need to make sure that the kettle is filled...if nothing else, I couldn't cope without tea!
Have a terrific Tuesday and I hope you can join in with our fun challenge this week!
Hugs,
