A Gem of a Challenge #181 Snowflakes

Hi folks, hope you are all ok.

I've been a rubbish blogger over the last week or so, we've been on our holiday to Blackpool with family & friends and all had the best time. The weather was lovely too, for a change.

The day before we went, one of my cats knocked a cup of tea over my laptop keyboard and because it was on charge it shorted out and went kapput! Although I do back up my stuff. I hadn't done it for a few weeks so lost some of my stuff. I do now have another laptop but I haven't got all my stuff back on yet. Will definately be backing up everything more regularly now.

Love to colour?

Hi folks, hope you are all happy & well.

I, like so many of you love to colour, I can spend hours in my craftroom, just me, my pens and usually stamps or digis. My new favourite thing to colour though is the fabulous Colorista pads from Crafters Companion & along with the new pads are the gorgeous Colorista pens. Oh! & they are glittered or foiled too. The best thing is though that you can still use what you have created to make cards & gifts.

Here is my Crafters Companion The Inpsirers DT make.





I used: Exsquisite Florals 5x7 marker pad
Spectrum Noir Colorista Markers : Canary & Lemon, Purple & Hot Pink, Forest Green & Pear Green, Cerulean & Cyan, Cream
