Dare not to be Square

Oh what a beauty of a prize over at Saturated Canary's challenge.  How could I not enter ?
I'd coloured the freebie image a few weeks back and just couldn't decide what to do with it.  The challenge this week is not square or rectangular.  Oval it is then !

Inspired to Distress

Whilst I was blog hopping I came across a card over on Saturated Canary's challenge.  Well it inspired me to try  and have a go with the darker colour end of my ProMarkers.  It is nowhere near as good as the card that inspired me...but I tried.  At the same time I had my first go at distressing paper.  This fitted in nicely with the challenge over on Passion for ProMarkers.  This is my only challenge entry for this card...but I am not too worried...I'm just pleased to progress my colouring skills.

It's a Pink One

My friend's sister had a baby girl on Friday...a pink one.  I do love baby cards - the simplicity of them.  



I didn't intend for this one to go in to any challenges, but as I was challenge blog hopping it fitted nicely in at:

Well Lily - I wish you health, wealth and happiness.  Welcome to the world.

Miss Smartie Pants


Well it's all their fault over on I Love Promarkers.  This week's challenge is use this photo for inspiration.  Only I could see this picture and think of Smarties (you know when you have a serious chocolate issue when you see chocolate in everything). "Only Smarties have the answer" !  Oh they don't make sweet adverts like they used to...
Then I popped over to Kenny K's Krafty Girlz to admire their use of the new work force digi stamps.  There, in the bizarre twist that is my inspirational world, came this week's creation for  both challenges.  So I Love Promarkers - thanks for the Smarties inspiration (I might just have to go and buy a tube too), and thanks Kenny K's Krafty Girlz for having two parts to your challenge this week - this one has strictly no flowers.

At the same time, it fits neatly in over at Passion for Promarkers.  Their challenge this week is "new beginnings".  New love in this case. 
Then I continued on my rounds...and visited Paper Sundaes.  Tip top - their challenge is Valentine !  Don't mind if I do - thank you !
So, without further ado, may I introduce you to Miss Smartie Pants...
