My day out at Taganana



I stayed with a friend over night and then we travelled to Taganana for a day out painting.
This is what I was trying to paint. The painting is not finished yet but who knows it may get finished one day. Whilst I was sitting painting a baby lizard decided to pop out and say hello.
It was a fabulous day out, also very tiring
This is my Daughter and Partner Dinning at our favorite restaurant in Tenerife.
We had a wonderful 6 days with them. She flew out to celebrate my 60th birthday early and Mothers day which was wonderful. I was showered with gifts and love. She has introduced me to ProMarkers for which I shall always be greatful.
This is my first attempt with Aqua ProMarkers I am extremely happy with the way they work and I am looking to add more colours to my collection. I used the Martha Stewart punch on the edges of the backing card and the paisley cuttlebug folder for the card itself, the cut out shapes are from a set of Sizzex I bought from a sale of craft stuff which I am very pleased with.

Aqua Promarkers

This is my first challenge card for promarkers. I used some stashed backing papers and a cuttlebug paisley embossed card. The stamp was bought from Docrafts. The colouring is done with Aqua Promarker and the paper used to stamp on is 300grm watercolour textured paper.

I have been a bit busy


I have been busy trying to find the time to do everything I would like to do. Firstly my painting, then my cardmaking, never quite know which one to do first. then I love knitting, walking,swimming, reading, blogging,cooking. Now I have added a new one. I went star gazing on Saturday Evening and saw Mars and Jupiter for the first time, also an awful lot of stars.It was amazing. I am off to the Science Museum tomorrow for a follow up on star gazing. There is a special exhibition on and it only lasts to the end of January. I am sorry I have not had the time to be a better blogger but I will try harder.
