and the winner is .... and a chance to win some ProMarkers

 Apologies for being a day late announcing the winner of the Cherryblossom Lane CD - our shipment of goods arrived from the USA yesterday and I was drowning in a sea of large boxes

I drew the winner using random.org, and the name that came up was


BEV V FROM USA

Congratulations Bev, please email me with your address and I will get the CD in the mail to you

For the next few days I will be giving away some ProMarker and Flexmarker sets - one a day, so a few chances to win. Up for grabs today is a set of five ProMarker skin tones, and somewhere along the line I have lost the image to put here, so you will just have to pop HERE to see all the lovely colours in the set. All you have to do is leave a comment under this post. I will draw all the winners next Wednesday so be sure to come back every day for a new prize. As always, I will mail worldwide. Good luck

Sharing a card I made for a Papercraft Inspirations commission - an article about sliding cards. This pretty little card looks like this when closed........




but pull the ribbon and the left hand panel slides across over the right hand panel to reveal a sentiment....



The main sentiment is by Stampin Up, but I rather like the font on the thank you sentiment stamp which was just a dollar find by Studio G...



Forty three boxes arrived yesterday, forty boxes are unpacked and the contents stowed away. Not bad going. I'll see you tomorrow for the next marker giveaway - enfys@exhausted.com
