Thank yous

I've just realised I've had two awards which I accepted gracefully and haven't posted them or passed them on - how rude is that? So, I'm here to make amends. Firstly a big thank you to Fliss who gave me this:

Please pop over and have a look at her blog, as she is an amazingly talented lady, and I feel very honoured.
I'm passing it on to:       Paula
                                    Rachel
                                   Clare
                                    Lisa
                                    Michelle
                                    and also Fliss


Secondly I received this from the amazingly talented Rachel.

Please check out her blog too as she is one extremely talented teenager! Now, I'm supposed to pass it on to 12 people, but I'm afraid I'm going to cheat and say please take it if you visit me. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Finally, I'd like to say a huge thank you to Helene aka Mummylade, who picked my altered tin to be in her top 5 at Allsorts this week.I am honoured there too, being chosen alongside some stunning makes.
I know I've been a bit quiet since Thursday, but I've been donated some copies of  Somerset studio and stamper's sampler by my good friend Lynne. I've been reading those and getting very inky! I've also been visiting lots of blogs belonging to lovely peeps who have entered the Stampalot Challenge and Tuesday taggers. If you haven't had a go yet, get your thinking caps on!

Thank you!

Whilst I have been away 3 of my lovely blog friends have given me these lovely awards. The first is from Lynne and Lisa, my very good blog friends. They inspire me with their art and encourage me with their comments. The second is from the lovely Lyn (Spyder), who leaves me lovely comments and makes some super cards too.
I want to give both to:
Brenda, who makes so many lovely cards in so many different styles
Lyn (Spyder), who regularly puts a smile on my face with her fun cards and lovely comments
Lesley (craftimamma), a fellow graphicus addict who regularly inspires me
Lisa, the multi-talented cake/ tag/ card maker
Lynne, my wonderful friend and partner in crime (the shopping variety)
and of course Megan, who takes a cracking photo and is my lovely daughter

Passion for Promarkers challenge 7 - Cornflower and Cocoa

Look on my sidebar to see what Caryn has awarded me for my messy Rabbit last week! It has cheered me up no end! I was expecting this week's colour combination to be quite easy, and I could have used it on several images, but my problem was the sketch. The layout looked so beautiful, and the DT cards are gorgeous, so why does mine look a bit naff?

Ah well, it will have to do, but if anyone can offer me any tips on sketches, please do! The image is the lovely Willow from Whiff of Joy. I used promarkers in Cornflower, Cocoa, Sandstone, Blue Pearl, Ivory, Blush, Saffron and Apple. The sentiment is from craftwork cards. Thanks for looking xxx

Blog awards - drum roll please!

As you know from my last post I got this lovely award from Lisa at the Craft Garden. The people that I want to pass it on to are:

• Guzziesue (thanks for the blogging lessons and for being so inspiring in the face of adversity/ broken wrists)
• Biker Ted (what charisma!)
• Lynne (stunning cards, photos and fellow addict)
• Lisa (lovely cards, photos and cakes!)
• Sue (great cards and fellow stamp and chocolate addict!)
• Phree (inspiring cards and great techniques)
• Papoosue (I love your wide range of posts and adore your sock monkeys!)
• D.K. Fisher (great photos)

Thanks all of you for your friendship and support.
