 Hello Everyone, 

Welcome to my wee bit of Blogland.

Passion for Promarkers...

Hi Folks,

Happy Tuesday.

Its time for another challenge on Passion for Pormarkers and this week the theme is Happy Birthday.

We are sponsored by Unkio Stamps.

My card is Toms 14th birthday card. I picked something that was close to his heart this summer. We have had lots of fun playing on the rope swings at different places we go with Belle the dog, so thought a wee lad on his tarzan swing would be fab.

Turtle Time,

 Hi Everyone,

Im here today using the super sweet Turtley Great Stamp set for a couple of creations. 

I love this set. (But then I love all the sets that Gerda Designs!!! ) How cute is the turtle and his friends.

My first creation is a cute wee shadow box.

For my second creation I had a play with alterative colours for a turtle. So hes a bright rainbow guy.

 I added a wee party hat on this guy. Its from the Daschunds Stamp Set.  Love that you can mix and match all Gerdas set. They compliment each other so well. 

I watercoloured the background and then fussy cut the turtle out.  You can buy dies here that coordinate with the set though. 

Thanks for dropping by today,  enjoy your day, 

Love Hazel x

Not Just Cards...

 Hi,

Its the 11th of the month again so that means its time for another challenge with us on Not Just Cards.

I have decided that im going to try and make something other than a card for this one every time. It gets me out of my confort zone too!!! 

If  you look back to last Saturdays post I made a card from my folks 49th Anniversary. This tag was a matching one from the set  for their wee bottle of plonk. (Its showed here with an old bottle of irn bru from before they stopped doing bottles. Jake had it in the cupboard and i just grabbed it for the pic)
