Hiya Peeps

After nearly a week Ive decided to my act together and do a couple of challenge cards, I did make last weeks Promarker challenge card, but the batteries in my camera decided to die one me. (dont you just hate it when that happens lol).

Plus I had great friends visiting me for the weekend, Viv and Pam arrived on thursday, for a crafty break. Which was fabulous fun, We all went to the Farnborough Make it show on saturday, it was a little disapointing though, not a patch on other years. but the weekend was over all too soon. Miss you already gals and thanks for all the laughs, a much needed tonic, after all the dreary winter weather.

Big shot challenge Prize

http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/rubber-stamps.php are moving to a bigger and better new shop, to celebrate the move they've got one of their fabulous designers to do a blog hop, Brenda at floral fantasies (http://stamping-fantasies.blogspot.com/)has lots of yummy candy donated by them. Visit her blog for the chance to join in. There is a blog hop and and a challenge, (the theme is moving)
I really had to rack my brains for this one, and finally plumped for Time, as time is the one thing that is always moving.

After cutting the shapes with the square Nestablilities, I created the clock by using Plexi glue and foil, drew some clock hands cut them out then coloured then with Promarkers.
I collect watches, so I went through my broken bits and found a little watch face and added that for balance.

I adapted the easel card as I wanted to decorate the inside, The clock inside was computer generated, n I couldnt find a time poem so I made one up myself.
I have used dps by Brenda Pinnick, Stamp is duet by inkadinkado (my all time favorite stamp) coloured with promarkers. Sentiment was computer generated.
