Good morning, crafty friends...these Tuesdays sure are coming around at speed!
It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week it's a special one as it's our 13th Anniversary challenge! Denise has picked the challenge this week with a super simple theme of 'Spots and/or Stripes'...for me this is one of the easiest themes as it is rare for me not to use one or the other on my cards!

For my card I picked out an old Digistamp Boutique image called Harry with Beer and thought I would use it to make hubby's birthday card (which is TODAY...Happy Birthday to my best friend and my rock!)...
As hubby is not a very big beer drinker, I changed up the beer bottle that was in his hand for a more appropriate mug of tea! (We must be getting old?!) I used some paper strips from my scrap drawers and kept my card clean and simple, although I was going to add a bit of an inked background but stuck the paper on first without thinking! (Definitely getting old?!)
I coloured Harry with my Pro/Flexmarkers :
I used my favourite WOW! Happy Sentiments set and the cheers stamp was from a freebie with SC&P, then finished with some coloured gem sprinkles...
Crafty time is rather scarce at the moment...although so is time to do anything other than the essentials, to be honest! My craft room is like a bomb site and I keep getting tempted to have a major purge and get rid of a LOT of stuff, but then chicken out in case I may NEED it sometime?! The only thing when you're a maker is that you can see potential in everything and find it so hard to just let things go...but maybe one of these days...maybe?! Organised life, organised mind and all that?!...
I hope that YOU can find the time to play along with our celebratory challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of the wonderful creations that you share...and don't forget that BOTH Teams are sharing creations this week to give you plenty of inspiration too!
Crafty hugs,
