Fifi - Bubbles

Hi crafty friends, I've joined Nikky and her lovely team over at Graph It markers for the colourcrazy challenges. Would love to see your entries https://colourcrazychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/.

Graph'It markers were launched in France in 2012. The Graph'It range has taken 2 years to research and design and appeals to Art & Design students, Crafters and Manga Artists.

The Graph'It Marker has 2 high quality, Japanese made polyester nibs - the first is a chisel nib and second is fine bullet nib, making them ideal for covering both large areas and finer detail work. You can also get a brush nib now to.

Each marker holds 4 grams of ink which is approx 20% more than many other leading brands.

The design of the Graph'It Marker is unique to this brand and is triangular in shape. Ergonomic studies show that a triangular shaped body is more comfortable in use, reducing tiredness and fatigue. It also means it will not roll off your table. 
 There is also the First ever Blending Palette to create your own unique colours.


This fortnight we're sponsored by the lovely Crafty Sentiments. This cutie ie Fifi - Bubbles and you can find her here in the store http://craftysentimentsdesigns.co.uk/ourshop/prod_4548739-Fifi-Bubbles.html

Walk the Dinosaur Girl

Hi crafty friends, this is my first card for The Pencil Case Challenge.

Our lovely challenge is to help inspire you to try out Lyra Rembrandt Polycolour pencils - if you've never tried these amazingly lush pencils then check out all the links at the top of the page on the blog to find out more. They are top quality pencils which need minimum blending - if you're a Polychomo/Prisma fan you really need to check them out because we have all switched from those brands because we find Lyra's much faster to work with, easier to blend and superb colours and lightfastness that is superior to most of the others on the market - and they're an amazing price too!

Our challenge is Anything Goes and you can use any product would love to see your entries http://thepencilcases.blogspot.co.uk/.
Here's my inspiration from our lovely sponsor Polkadoodles, this cutie is from the Sticks and Bones Collection http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/sticks-bones-mammoth-dinosaur-download-bundle-digital-collection/ and she's Walk the Dinosaur Girl, of course because Dinos need a lot of excercise to grown big and strong and fight off the TRex's.

Priscilla

Hello crafty peeps, Conie Fong has another new release.
This little beauty is Priscilla, a non scary witch!!

Here's a spell for you ,if like me, you loose stuff and can't find it. Thought it might be useful!! you need to put your heart into it. Use this spell when you are looking for something you've misplaced in your home. You just need a white candle. Light the candle, and put it in a holder that is easy to carry. Begin to walk from room to room with it, repeating the following:
I need what I seek
Give me a peek
Draw my eyes
For my prize.
Let your eyes wander around until you feel drawn to the spot where your missing item is hiding.
