Passion for Promarkers - Going Dotty...

Good morning, my lovelies! I think the theme for this week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers is just about how I'm feeling!!...I seem to have a lot going on at the moment and am trying to fit everything into a day...usually without success! But one thing I have managed to do is finish my latest papercrafting disc/USB!!...although I'll do another post later, to share some of the sample pics and give details of how to order...

For now, I'm here to tell you about this week's challenge over at Passion for Promarkers! It's my turn to host and I've given you a nice easy theme to use one of my favourite pattern types...dots - so whether it's dotty papers, dotty ribbons, or dotty dresses on images, I want us all to be 'Going Dotty!'...
We're kindly being sponsored by Dies to Die For this week, who are offering one lucky winner a £15 voucher...how cool is that?!...can I enter??...

Just remember that to be in with a chance of winning the prize, you must use your Letraset/Winsor & Newton mediums and follow the challenge theme...it also really helps if you let us know where you've used them, so for example, coloured with Promarkers...

Right, onto my DT project...I decided not to make a card this week and although it may seem that I've missed the boat with this one (with Summer holidays having started) I created a little teacher gift, using the Acorn digi stamp from my latest disc 'Words at Play'...

I have made a little sliding pencil box, which holds 6 pencils...the perfect thank you gift! I have often seen posts where teachers ask parents not to spend too much on gifts, or ask them not to buy the usual personalised mugs, etc (as I'm sure there are only so many you can have!) and that pens, pencils and notebooks were appreciated, as it's something they use and so this little project came about! I loved colouring the acorns and have decoupaged them up to give more dimension, but if you wanted something a little speedier, you could always use the precoloured image from the disc...

Well, I have a pile of ironing with my name on it (I wish it had somebody else's on it, but there doesn't seem to be any takers!), mugs to print for our campervan club and notebooks to decorate...just because I love my new Tim Holtz Wildflower dies...and after reading back over this post, I think I may have to do one to coordinate with this project too!...

I hope you can find the time to play along with my easy challenge this week and I look forward to visiting all of your blogs to see what wonderful creations you've made...
