I am a self confessed stampaholic, well actually I am pretty obsessed with anything to do with papercrafting. In 2004 I decided to turn my obsession into more than just a hobby and opened my craft shop in Horncastle, Lincolnshire 'Cloudnine Crafts'. I never grow tired of papercrafting and like many others my stash just keeps growing! I have been very lucky and honoured to be part of many fantastic design teams past and present and I have met some amazing fellow crafters who have taught me so much for which I am very grateful.

Happy crafting!

 

Remember, there's still time to play along with our challenge this week, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST.  To enter your card in our challenge please see the post below.  Have a great day!

ABC43 'Coloring With Markers'

Good morning everyone!  Our challenge last week was wonderful and we had a great turn out and we hope this week will be a fun challenge as well.  This week we are pulling out our makers and coloring the images on our cards.  Sounds easy enough, right?  Sure is!  So come join us and lets see those beautifully colored images!

ABC43 'Coloring With Markers'
Create any card that has an image that you colored using markers.  No solid images.  Be sure to use outline images so that you can color them.  

Don't have a blog?  No problem, we will visit your online gallery; simply use the keywords ABC43 for this challenge.  Below are our design team cards to get you inspired.  Be sure to click on their names to visit their blogs!

Jackie has been off for a few weeks and we are so glad she's back now. Welcome back, Jackie!  Some of our DT needed some time off, but I think for the most part, we are all back, except for Rosie, she'll be with us again later in the month.  We have such a wonderful DT and I love them all :)
