Make your Mark - Challenge #42

Hi everyone, we really hope that today finds you well.

We have another exciting challenge for you today. It's one of your favourites -

MAKE YOUR MARK

You know what to do! You can create anything you like but you MUST use markers on your project. This could be Stampin' Write Markers, Copics, Promarkers, Tombows etc etc.

This doesn't mean that you have to be an expert with colouring in either. You could try using your waterbased markers directly onto your stamps. The results are awesome!

This is our last week that our wonderful sponsor

will be joining us. So, if you love her images, you have to join in for the chance to win. Heather is giving away 2 digis of your choice from her store.

Need some inspiration? That's what we are here for!!

Photo Inspiration and DT CALL!!

Hi everyone!! We have a brand new challenge for you here at Addicted to Stamps and More.

How about photo inspiraiton to get those creative juices flowing?

Firstly, though, we have to say goodbye to one of the incredible ladies that was the first ever DT member (apart from myself lol) when we first kicked off last June.

Jacqueline of Deezines Art has had to step down from the DT as she has SOOO much going on with her Stampin' Up downline and all her other challenge blogs. We will miss you, Jacqueline and we all wish you the very best and know that you are only just a 'blog' away :)

So, with that news, I am holding a DT call for someone to fill the always impressive shoes of Jacqueline.

DT CALL DT CALL DT CALL DT CALL DT CALL

If you would like to join the awesome team here at Addicted to Stamps and More, all you have to do is add DT after your name when you enter OR you can email me at kyliepurtell@gmail.com with a link back to your blog.

The DT call, depending on the response, will probably run for about 2 weeks.

Onto the current challenge -

The best thing about Photo inspiration challenges (to me) is that what you create doesn't have to look identical to the photo. You can draw inspiration from ANY part of the photo. It may be the colours, part of any of the images, all of the images, any element of the photo, what the photo reminds you of etc etc. The inspiration is completely up to you!

We also are pleased to have our wonderful sponsor

Heather Ellis joining us again this week!

And here we go with the inspiration from the amazing DT -
