IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GIRLS!!!

Afternoon Blogland

Well this is a bit of a sad day for me :( .... this is my last card as a Fairy Princess

After almost a year of being on the DT at FAIRY FUN FRIDAY I'm stepping down due to the fact there are just not enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do!!

My online shop is keeping me so busy along with all the classes I run - still shouldn't complain should I :) ... It has been fab working with all the Princesses and I shall miss you all but I will see you around Blogland - you can't get rid of me that easily LOL!! Thanks so much to Roberta for letting me be a Princess - it's been fab!!!

Anyway this challenge theme is FOR THE GIRLS

Here's my card ....

I have used the fabulous Pretty Gillian and this time I've coloured her with promarkers for a change - I also took the image into photoshop and made her transparent so that I would "mask" her three times.  The sentiment is the Friday Freebie at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU so go a grab it for yourself!! and I've cut it out using a nestie set that is one of my faves - Ribbon Tag Trio - and you can find that at my shop CRAFTS 4 YOU

Thought I might enter some challenges this time around - I haven't done that for ages!!!!

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS - FIT FOR A PRINCESS

I LOVE PROMARKERS - SONG TITLE (here come the girls)

PAPER ROMANCE - FAVOURITE DIE (Ribbon Tag Trio)

Hope you likey and catch up with you all soon :)

Another challenge has just started over at FAIRY FUN FRIDAY and this time we want to see you INSPIRED BY A NURSERY RHYME

When I saw this challenge I knew exactly which images of Robertas I would use and which nursery rhyme it would be ... can you guess????

The animals went in two by two, hurrah! hurrah!

The animals went in two by two, hurrah! hurrah!

The animals went in two by two, the elephant and the kangaroo

And they all went into the ark, for to get out of the rain.

Evening everyone

So sorry I'm late in posting today ... i've had the worst migraine for 2 days and just can't shift it :( .

We were supposed to be going to our good friend Garry's 50th birthday party tonight we've had to say we can't go - so disappointed!!!

I just needed to let you know that it's new challenge time at FAIRY FUN FRIDAY today where we want to see your BIRTHDAY CARDS!!

Here's my card .... I made it for Garry's birthday :o)

This is LEWIS .. he is such a fun image to work with and so appropriate for this card as we have known Garry for 25 years and he has never had any hair!!
