I Blame It On You...

.... and that's a good thing!

Good Morning WOYWW blog trotters!  I'm showing the start of a card for a LOTV challenge.  Not much to see is there?  Well, if you are interested in Snooping, Peeking, Shingles, Horse Pills and/or Over Grown Gardens.....visit here.  Julia will tell you all about it - I promise!



I do however have some pretty exciting news to share with you all. 


Last week, I received my ProMARKER Ultra-fine Nib attachments (Yay, some new craft tools - inspiration) from the lovely Di (thank you so much Di....you are so generous).

I didn't want to show them until I had my NEW "Classic Christmas" ProMARKER set.  I now own 5 wonderful markers in the Christmas colours of Berry Red, Gold, Holly, Ivory and Aubergine.  Soooooo excited about all my new STUFF!  Upon receiving the news of the Nib attachments I immediately ordered the new marker set and I Blame You Di and .....that's a good thing!
In honour of this lovely gift, I have made a new button which I want to pass on as a Thank You.  It's a button to display on your blog Di and it's in appreciation of your kindness which has caused me to spend a little money to improve my creative tool supply. 
  
 

This is in fun and I'm hoping that every time someone sees a stamp, die, ink pad, tool or embellishment or any other item on someones blog that inspires them to increase their craft supply, they pass this button on to the blog owner who inspired them.  Go ahead Di and grab that button off my sidebar and enjoy! 

Wherever you are in your day, I hope you're enjoying it!
Wishing you many wonderful creations.

    That's great to 'win' these Promarkers. Time to start with colouring your LOTV-stamps. I love this bear stamp, but didn't use it for a card. Hope to see what you make with it. Happy WOYWW. Bye, Franka

    What a lovely idea your button is.

    I have some of these nibs but haven't played with them yet...do let me know how you get on with them. I'm also waiting for the new FlexMarkers to hit the shops here in the UK to see how they compare to the standard ProMarkers and Copics.

    I love the fine nibs, they work really well and i'm usre you'll love them. colour charts are an exceellent idea to keep up to date with which colours you already have and for choosing colours to use. Your's looks really smart.
    Thanks for your lovely comments on my post....

    it is always good to blame someone else for your purchases - it doesn't count then, right?!!
    Thanks for your visit.
    Still no internet so I have resorted to staying in lunchtime so I can play catch up with you lovely ladies. I cannot believe I have not been able to go on blogs since Monday - besides not being able to shop!! Arrrrgh!!

    Your post made me chuckle ... I'm sure you'll enjoy using those nibs and your new PM colours sound terrific but I'm not going to be tempted ... not at all. Have a great weekend. Elizabeth x #70
