It's time for a new challenge over on the Passion For Promakers blog and remember to check out the Weekend Workshops for some fantastic tutorials.

Many thanks to all of you who joined us last week in the ''In The Garden'' challenge, so many gorgeous entries. It's Michele's turn to choose the challenge for this week and it is:-

''Follow The Sketch Below & Make Your Own Flowers''

Our sponsor this week is the fantastic Letraset...who have so kindly donated a pack of 5 Promarkers for one lucky winner.

Here is my card, I have used ''Pinto Pony'' from The Greeting Farm together with Making Memories papers. To make my flowers I used a punch and a small circular nestibilities die...

Challenge Cards...

Oh what a day!!

I had hoped to get these posted early today but have spent most of it in hospital with my adorable nephew. He fell off a frame in the park and has broken his wrist in two places as well as having a very bad fracture. Bless him he was so brave and no tears....they were coming from my sister in her worry & panic.

Back to hospital tomorrow as they need to put him to sleep to set and plaster it, he's got a temporary plaster on for tonight.

My Life & PFP Guest DT Card...

Good Morning

Well thankfully its Tuesday as it means its my day off...time to try and catch up with 101 things, been really struggling to keep up with everything lately. I have so much going on in my personal life following my dad being killed at work in September. Then last week we got another blow to say that the company have demanded a pre-inquest meeting, certainly set us all on edge. The inquest is set for the 26th April but the meeting should be within the next 3-4 weeks.

I have hit another wave of emotions and if it all become too much I shall take a break, so if I disappear you will know why.

HUGE thanks for all your lovely comments once again and HELLO to more new followers. I will catch up with you all very soon.

********************************************

Today I do have a card to share with you which is for my 2nd week as GD on the Passion For Promarkers team. The theme for this week was chosen by me and it is to use the following colours:-

Agean / Sky Blue / Cool Aqua

Looking forward to seeing your creations.

Allsorts, ABC & Crazy 4 Challenges Entry...

Well the snow stopped for a short while today and then it came down again like I don't know what...I don't think I have ever seen so much and if the weather people are right we are going to see a whole lot more!!!

My card is for the following challenges:-

1 - Allsorts / Sketch + New/Old Stash

I have used a new image which a lovely friend sent me in a RAK...Princess Ava from The Greeting Farm and my old stash are the papers from the 'Tis The Season' - Pink Petticoat. I bought them last year and got them out to use again but just never got round to it....decided they don't have to be used from christmas cards, just love the colours.
