Well that’s usually a secret but this week, as there are only 4 of us,  we all have a prize to give away – woohoooo :)

So good luck to everyone who enters :)

So …

.. this is what I did and 1 million apols for the pants pics peeps (fab alliteration there though !!!)

I used a  Which Craft Crackers card blank as a base and chopped off the bottom. I’ve filled it with something yummy for a friend but cannot say what cos she will read this and then the cat will be out of the bag (no there isn't a cat in there lol!!)

I coloured the image with these Copics -

Skin – E000, E00, E11, E21, R00, R02

Hair – E43, E50, E81

The rest – E43, E81, G99, R85, RV0000, RV000, RV02, RV34, YG00, YG03

and the papers are from Nitwits

The cute tag is from the LOTV set 24 sentiment tags set – LOVE these of course :)

And all the pretty trimmings are of course from The Ribbon Girl

I used ..

12mm cream picot lace, 4mm pearl string, 15mm pink tulle …..

   

… 15mm Shocking Pink No 72 Microdot Ribbon, cream tiny ric-rac and a pink carnation.

If you get a sec, please do nip across to the other girlies and leave them a comment and you may very well win a fab prize:)  Also there is another fabulous colour challenge over at  The Ribbon Girl Blog so head on over and check that out as well if you get a sec.

Now this weekend, I have, just for a change, been a bit busy!!! But NICE busy cos yesterday I did my first class over at Crab Apple Crafts which is of course Rosemary’s shop.

I had a fab day and you all made me so welcome, thank you xxxx. I felt  like I had been going there for years!!! Special thanks to Nova who helped me find my way around (and showed me where the loos were – VERY important of course!!)

My day was made even more special cos guess who came along ? …..

… yes it’s only our Katina my fellow PTW and craft mag  teamie :)

She is so lovely and I was of course chuffed to see her, even though we didn't get to spend as much time together as I would have liked.

And here’s a pic ….

… of the afternoon class busy working away ( I let them put their pens down for the pic, slave driver that I am -not!!) !!! But they did all work very hard and I hope that they love their Pro Markers a little more now.

Michelle – first on the left – should have come with her Mum but she was unwell so I hope she is soon feeling better xxx

Check out that pretty pink bunting – right up my street that was!!!

This is Joan, Rosemary’s Mum,  who really did make we feel at home there AND she kindly lent me her umbrella (ella ella ey ey ey) to nip over the road to grab a sandwich – God bless the British weather at the mo - grrrrr!!! .

So a lovely day indeedy, although I did miss my grandchildren so much because they didn’t stay over on Friday as they usually do. But I am going to get them in a tick and then we are all having dinner later, complete with kisses and cuddles in abundance – it’s practically the law in our house!!!  They won’t be staying over next week either because I am off to Peterborough to Sir Stampalot for the weekend. But I am hugely excited because at long last I am going to meet one of my oldest blog buds and one of the best crafters on the planet, the sweetness that is Claudia. More of that next week I’m sure.

So enjoy the rest of your day and I’ll see you in the week.

Huggiest of hugs to all xxx

PS - watch this space for more news,  but all I will say is keep 11th August free (ooh intrigue intrigue!!) xxx
