It's Passion time

Hello and good morning everyone!
Hope life treats you well and you have had a wonderful start of the week. Here we are recovering from a bunch of colds but that should pass as well I hope. Rather sooner than later would be good. :)

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers today, and guess what? Yepp! It's my turn to host and as I always are in deep need of cards for boys, I chose that as my theme: One for the boyz. And it really needs to show that it is for male. Nothing more, nothing less. With two boys in the age of birthday parties with friends, I always seen to be rushing around like mad trying to make up some birthday boys cards. I can have this theme for ten weeks and it still wouldn't be enough. LoL

Well, well time to talk about the card then. For a big change I have use a High Hope image. Wish that would happen a little more often than it does. But they are hard to get here in my little corner of the world. Anyway, this stamp used to day did actually Willy win when he took part in his first challenge ever over at the wonderful friendly people over at High Hope Challenges. They even offered him a guest designer spot. I will never forget that. So sweet!

Back to the card. Most of Willy's friends plays in the same soccer team and this little guy does as well. So a soccer card it was, once again. Have lost count of how many it has been by now. LoL He is of course coloured with my Letraset family and paired up with some lovely dp's fitting the theme from YouDo. A dynamo piece with the kids name and a big "7" to tell how old he is was put on. Two soccer ball-buttons that I cut down to make them flat was added to the mix. The inside was also decorated but that part is private and you don't get to see it! :)

Clearly Besotted Stamps is sponsoring us this week over at Passion for Promarkers. I am not really sure what 
the prize is but I will ad that to the post as soon as I have figured that out. I am still lost in that Yahoo group. 
When I managed to find my way around, the place gets a new look. Typical! LoL

Well, time to go and hopefully do something crafty. I really hope that you will come and play with us over at 
PFP this week. I am so looking forward to see what you come up with for this challenge. I need some boyz 
themed inspiration!

Love n hugs
Marie

More of that Christmas spirit

Hi there! Hope you had a good week so far. Myself is preparing to have the window cleaners over tomorrow so everything in the windows has to go. Thank you God for not having me clean the windows as well. LoL Can you believe that we only have about a month before we go in to the Christmas week, again? This year has really passed by so quickly, and this is the best time of the year. Don't you think?

I have a good collection of Christmas cards by now but there is still a few to make and here comes one of them. We have the theme of snowflakes over at the new challenge of the Bearly Mine Challenges. Nice and easy challenge I'm guessing. I have used a image from Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet, very cute and lovely. Last year I used this image for a scrapbook page that I made about the snow we got in November and stayed to the end of March the year after. It's cute and lovely. She is coloured with my Prisma pencils for a change. Have realized that I do much better coloring with them when I don't have a lot of pain in my arms and are more relaxed.

Ok, for my card's decorations have I used some half pearls, snow flakes made with dies from Whimsy stamps and Martha Stewart punches. A ribbon is also used. My designer papers are of course from Bearly Mine Designs and are from two sets: Pastel Christmas and Winter Swirl. I do hope that you will come on over to the challenge and join us for this weeks challenge. Silver mirri board is also used for the snow flakes and that's why my photo wont really work for me.

Sponsors do we have this week as well and this time we have the lovely people from I am Roses as a sponsor and they are offering a gift voucher worht $35 to spend in their store as a price. Isn't that just wonderful?

Love n hugs
