I 💜 ProMarkers - Things That Fly

Our sponsor over on the I 💜 Promarkers Blog for this challenge is Bugaboo.... Fabby digis to work with.
I got to pick one of the digis this time so I chose this wonderful little chap...

He's just so cute!
The die I've used is one or the square dies from Creative Crafting World. I really do love their dies and the amazing cut and look that they give.

Come on over to the I 💜 Promarkers and Creative Crafting World blogs to play along with both of their challenges. We would love to see you over there....

Happy Crafting

New month means...

a brand new challenge over on the Crafting Cafe blog....
Come on over and join us in the challenge this month - there are a whopping 7 digis up for grabs as the winner!
Our theme this month is 'A baby is born' - very apt when you think of all the new babies that have arrived in the past few weeks...
Here is my card that I made for the challenge,

One of the wonderful things about digis is that as you are the one adding the colour, you can decide if it will be boy or girl colours!
Another thing I love about working with digis is that you decide on the size and unlike a stamp - once you own the digi you can resize it over and over again!
If you had said to me a couple of years ago that I would tend to use digis more that stamping, I would have thought you had gone mad!
Today's crafting for me will be using some old earrings to make lots of new ones....
Watch this space - hopefully I will remember to take a photo of them!!!
My papercrafting today will be finishing off the projects that I have been making with this weeks Creativity Club download.... Oh my - loving it!!!! Owls in blue and purple!!!! blinking adorable!

Jill Pryor is one very talent lady! I can see me using this download a lot!!!!
What ever you are doing today - have a great day x
