Use Something New

It's been quite some time since my last post as now both challenges that I am DT in are both fortnightly. Yes the challenge I ♥ Promarkers is no longer weekly from this year and we have also split up in two teams, so team 1 makes cards for the first week and team 2 makes cards for the second week. .. .. With this new setup I wonder if I'll be able to find some more time to make an extra card or two to post here, I'm sure I can :) Anyway, so today it's time for me to post my DT card and the theme for this week is

USE SOMETHING NEW

I'm sure you've all been buying new stuff, so this will be an easy challenge. As for me, I haven't been buying much crafty stuff lately, so it's just the image that is new and the background striped DP.

To make up my card I used this fun image, My Racing Car, from our sponsor for this week

The Paper Shelter, which of course I colored with my promarkers, using colors to match the lovely colorful car DP from my Eco Park Paper Pack.

The prize from our sponsor is $15 to spend in the store.

I really do hope you can join us, and don't forget you have one week left to enter the challenge.

I'll be entering some challenges when I get back from my fitness class which is due to start in 15 mins so I have to rush... luckily this one is near where I live but I still have to change he he

Big hugs.

Thank you for looking

Use Something New

Hello and a Happy New Year to all. Hope you had a good start and your 2016 will be a fantastic one. As for me, well I wasn't so well unfortunately, but after I spent two days in bed resting and taking pills and honey and lemon and all that stuff I was so much better by new year's eve and I managed to go out for dinner with friends. We had booked quite some time ago and I didn't want to disappoint them! Anyway, that went well, and yesterday we had my FIL for lunch which was lovely, we were also invited over by my brother on Wednesday and tonight we are also invited at my brother in law for drinks and finger food. I'm really looking forward for next week, when hopefully everything will fall back into the normal routine and I start eating healthy again, and exercising, as even that took a back seat this week, and hope to get off the two kilos I gained!!!!

Anyway, onto my DT card for today as this week it's time for a new challenge at

Crafty Friends

The theme this week is

USE SOMETHING NEW

The new stuff that I'm using is the digi, Star Angel Sprite which I was lucky to have to make my card from one of our sponsors Aurora Wings. The prize is $15 worth of digis.

and I'm also using a a new die, the Merry Christmas sentiment, which, very lucky me, I had won sometime ago in a challenge here in blogland. It's from Wild Rose Studio and is actually one, but I cut it off in two.

The image I colored it with my promarkers and added glitter to her dress and on the stars on her hair and on the star that she is holding and also all around the DP.
