Mega Christmas Challenge over at Passion for Promarkers

Morning and hello! Hope you're doing fine and have a blast preparing for all the wonderful times in December. For true, I just love it. :) Have just managed to end up in a painful period where I am just laying in bed all day. Can hardly feel my left arm but it's getting better. However it stresses me out as there is so much to do and it's hard with one arm. Kind of think that my arm tells me to slow down a bit, so I am trying to. Does writing with one hand count as slowing down? I must be down to half speed in writing at least. LoL

Anyway, we have a month long challenge up for you over at Passion for Promarkers and the theme is set to "Let's celebrate". Anything that has to do with celebrations is fine: Christmas, New Year, Birthday etc.


I bought a very lovely image from Sassy Cherryl some time ago and it looks very much like a Nordic Santa to me and very classy and funky at the same time, so that had to be used this time. It's called Down hill Santa. It's paired up with some fabby designer papers from Maja Design's latest Christmas collection. It's just fabby and it almost hurts to cut into the papers. They are so fabby just to look at. :)

I have once again used my metal snowflakes from ROX stamps as the colours is perfect to the dp's and besides that it's hard to craft with one arm. I am kind of glad that we have a few weeks off so that I can heal for a while. I have also added some extra stamped snow flakes on the dp's with a mini stamp from Magnolia. The sentiment is from LOTV and I coloured it in with some ink.

This is from the challenge blog and covers all the prizes up for grabs.

Wow we are sure you’ll agree our sponsors have been super generous once again this year!
We have asked both design teams to share some inspiration with you but as it such a long challenge we will be posting the inspiration from Team 1 today and then in two week’s time we will be posting inspiration from Team 2.  So to re-cap the challenge will run until 5th January 2016 and you can enter a maximum of 3 times.  Unfortunately during the Mega Christmas challenge we will not be choosing a top 5 passionista but this will re-commence for the first challenge in 2016.


Well then, until next time. Time for me to snuggle up with one or two of my cats. The new gang is getting settle and loves to get some cuddle. And best of all the old master is enjoying his new buddies as well, at least most of the time.

Love n hugs
Marie
