Passion for Promarkers - Dies and/or Punches...

Good morning, crafty friends! We have a brand new challenge starting today over at Passion for Promarkers and the lovely Marie has given a super easy theme of 'Dies and/or Punches'...simple!
We're being sponsored by Crafty Sentiments, who are kindly offering one lucky winner a choice of 3 digital images from their online store...

http://www.craftysentimentsdesigns.co.uk/

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and this was the ever so sweet 'Snowman at the Window'...
I wanted the cute little snowman to 'pop' from the page, so decided to colour the sky behind him in a rich, dark blue, then added some Liquid Pearl dots as snow...I kept the card very CAS with just a doodled frame and some die cut foliage. The sentiment is one I found from a magazine set (I think?!)...to be honest, it was what was nearest to hand, as my craft table looks like there has been an explosion of epic crafty proportions and I'm down to about a 4 inch square to work in!

The little man (despite the fact that he's now taller than me!) is off to Scotland to visit family with his Nain (Welsh for  Nan) so I'm hoping to give the house a blitz and maybe even freshen up some of the paintwork...if all goes to plan?! I'm finding it hard to focus at the moment and tend to flit from one thing to the next, not really knowing where to start, so I feel a list may be needed?! I also need to let some things go..I have boxes of books and stuff from the last time I had a sort out and insisted I was going to do a car boot sale, but we just never have the time on a weekend and if it's nice, we'd rather be out in Daisy...I just need to get a bit more organised...or win the lottery...one or the other?!!

Right, off to get my dishes washed and I may even be able to put some washing on the line today...make the most of the sunshine - I can't quite believe that we're already half way through August...that slippery slope is getting a lot steeper now and the nights are already starting to draw in!

Have a totally terrific Tuesday, whatever you're up to and I'll be back soon with some more craftiness, unless I get too organised! Ha, ha!

Hugs,

I just had to pop by and comment on this gorgeous snowman card Lisa. What a cutie and your fabulous colouring really showcases him beautifully. I loved reading your post too. I skipped ahead to your next post and laughed out loud as it's something I do a lot...good intentions first thing in the morning only to be distracted soon after by a crafty idea or find that I've spent way too long blog hoping and suddenly there's no time left as it's nearly meal time.
I hope you manage to get your chores done :)
Take care,
Lorraine
