Good morning,

I'm here to tell you about this weeks Passion for Promarkers challenge which has been chosen by my lovely teamie Andie and it's a really scrummy theme...it's all about CHOCOLATE

Yep, you've got it...totally delish and you just need to include chocolate(s) or chocolate coloured papers on your creation.

Don't forget, to be in with a chance of winning our sponsored prize , you have to follow the challenge theme and ensure you use Letraset markers (i.e. pro, flex, tria, aqua, metallic or neon) somewhere on your work!

This weeks sponsor is the fantastic Letraset and the prize they are offering is a pack of 12 Promarker pens (Manga)

Morning all, it's a bit blustery here today and the sun is very intermittent...at least it's not raining...yet! We've had quite a busy week with Sophie appearing in a school production of the musical Oliver...it ran over three nights, was absolutely brilliant and a great interpretation of the original! Can't wait for the next one now!

This lil' card is for Sophie's best friend Olivia...she turned 12 on Thursday and the only brief that Sophie gave me, was that the card had to have anchor on it, as Liv loves anchors...I got there in the end after a bit of head scratching...Sophie pointed out to me yesterday that I could have used a mermaid image....doh...why didn't I think of that lol! Gotta love this cute Mae image though from Some Odd Girl
