The weekend workshop is back!

Hi everyone, after such a long time, we are pleased to tell you that the Weekend Workshop tutorials are back!!  Starting today at 9am we will be back to having our weekly tutorials over on the Weekend Workshop (click the tab at the top of the blog) and will be showcasing the talent of our design team using both promarkers and aqua markers. 

Today we have a fantastic tutorial by Tracy using the aqua markers which is perfect if you’ve got some and need a little help using them.  However don’t worry if you only have promarkers as we will be doing some new tutorials very soon for those too. 

We are also announcing the winner of the promarker set – so pop over and see if it’s you!! 

Thanks for your support and patience during our “short” break.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x

Week 73 – Colour combo

Wow where are the weeks going??  It only seems like yesterday we were announcing last week’s challenge lol!  The DT had a lot of fun looking at all your recycled items last week – you are a very imaginative lot and there seemed to be lots of chocolates eaten just for the ribbons haha!  Please call back later to find out who Tracy has chosen as her top 5 and to find out who the lucky winner of the Pink Gem Designs stamp will be. 

Our challenge this week has been set by Andie and she has given us a colour scheme to work with “orange, black, green and purple”  with the option of halloween.  Now most of the DT have opted to make halloween cards but that’s entirely up to you, you don’t have to.  Please remember to be included in our prize draw you must use your promarkers or aqua markers. 

Our sponsor this week is The Craft Garden and the lucky winner winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.
