First ever Mad For Markers Blog Hop - and some exciting news!!

.
Hi

*Make It Monday Featured Blogger will be posted tomorrow (Tuesday) due to blog hop*

OOh I'm so excited!! I have been busting to share this news with you all.

Some of you that are regular visitors to my blog may remember that I decided to try out for the Mad For Markers DT call a while back. Well, I'm over the moon because I'm in!!

I'm really looking forward to getting to know my new teamies and sharing my love of Copics with you all.

And just to start things off with a bang, I'm happy to be part of  Mad For Markers first ever blog hop.

If you have come here from Sheree's blog then you are on the right track… if not then please hop on over to http://www.madformarkers.blogspot.com/ to start this fun hop.

Here is what they had to say over at Mad For Markers this morning:


Firstly we would like to say a HUGE THANKS to the departing Design team ladies… Sue, Louise and Tracy have been wonderful members of the Mad for Markers Design team and it’s with sadness that we say farewell! Please pop by their blogs and give them some love and lots of Thanks for all the gorgeous inspiration they’ve shared with us all using Copic markers!

 
And we would like to give a very warm welcome to the new team and are so very excited to have them on board…. You are going to love seeing their work which of course you will see as you are hopping…. you can also take a little detour to read more about the new team HERE

 
Another little bit of news is that we now have a separate challenge blog – as of today (you will finish the hop there!) We have lots of FUN things in store for you on the existing store blog (stay tuned) and we have some great challenges lined up for you on the new Mad for Markers challenge blog ... with daily inspiration coming from our wonderful new team!

 
See bottom of this post for the full blog hop list and please be sure to leave all the Girls some love along the way and become a follower of the new challenge blog to be in the running to win a Prize Pack, which consists of 3 Copics, 1 multiliner, a small pack of Neenah and XPress It blending card, plus a small sheet of X Press It Mask It Paper. There will also be a couple of random winners chosen along the way.


So, now with the formalities out of the way, here's my project I am sharing with you today…



I haven't made one of these jewellery / keepsake boxes for ages. It was fun though making something other than a card for a change.


It's a shame the bow looks so shoddy hey, lol :-)


Image is called "Tea Party" is from Mo's Digital Pencil


The colours I have used are:

Skin - E000, E00, E11 and R20
Hair - E53, E25 and E29
Clothes and flower - R81, R83 and R85
flower leaves - Y21 and B93

Thanks for hopping by - now please hop on over to Emma's blog.
