A little spotty

 or stripey?

Morning blogland

Well you could call my blogging a little spotty (or even patchy) right now - to be honest it's rather low down on my list of priorities.  TTT got her A-Level results last Thursday and they were, as predicted, at a high enough grade to get her her first choice University and course.  This has really ramped up the, 'Oh my word, we've not got a lot of time left with her and so much to do' feeling.  Therefore blogging has taken a back seat.  Maybe when she's off in Halls at Uni I'll feel more like filling my time with making cards and bloggin, but right now - nope!

Anyways there's your explanation as to why the blog is quiet and now the reason for today's post.  It's Tuesday and we all know what that means - it's Passion for Markers day! This week the theme has been picked by my lovely Teamie Sue who picked a theme of 'Spots and/or Stripes' and our sponsor for this week is Polkadoodles who is offering one lucky winner a prize of 3 digi images of their choice.

So, as always, Polkadoodles always lets the DT pick some images to use and this is my card made with one of the images picked:


Supplies used:

Digi stamp:
Polkadoodles - Pile of Surprise Gifts
coloured with my Copics

Dies:
un-branded stitched rectangles

Anything else:
some very old shaped striped paper
very,very old Craftwork cards sentiment
very,very,very old glittery flower
striped background card.

Aaaaand that's it folks,

Off to not so sunny Skeg today - hitting the charity shops.  TTT is driving as well! I have to say it is a very pecuilar feeling sitting in the passenger seat with your child driving - sort of hammers home how long ago they were little kids!

Anyways, hope anyone who is left reading this blog is doing well and, if you get a chance, pop on over to the challenge we'd love to see you!

Cheers
Sarah

  1. Fabulous card Sarah- amazing colouring as always, love the design and the way you incorporated the spots and stripes.
    Of course it's more important for you to spend the time with your daughter- crafting will still be there when you're ready for it- and may be a welcome distraction while TTT is away, hopefully living her best life and enjoying the uni experience and independence while working hard for her future! xx
