Ismaki Challenge #22

I have to tell you, I've been a little naughty this weekend, we had lots of family over yesterday and had a whole day playing games, eating food and lazing around talking, so i haven't posted for a couple of days but i enjoyed myself, and it took our minds off Gizmo being away for a little while at least... Gizmo is doing Ok, i don't really want to say too much more about him until Wednesday but there may be some great news then, and i really don't want to jinx the situation (i know silly as it is but that's the way i feel) I've been keeping my mind occupied the rest of the time by creating cards for challenges and making gifts for friends...although i can't post the gifts as the recipients will see them so I'll post about those when they arrive.......

I found the Ismaki challenge a toughie this week, but settled on using the spring Magnolia Stamp Club set.... for those few of you who haven't managed to order yet here is the link..... you will not be disappointed....i can promise you that.... I used my bargain basement Copic and Tria Markers for this one, i seem to be using inks and Inktense pencils all of the time so decided to give them a break for this challenge..... and i think i caught the distressing bug from Ila and Moni i can't stop distressing everything now...LOL Congratulations to Nikki who got there first with my Distresser give away..... if you've not visited any of these three blogs yet you really should you'll find inspiration in bucket loads and lots of tips and tutorials, Nikki is always passing on ways to save money on stash, what are you waiting for....LOL

Well i managed finally with just one day to go to create something for the Ismaki challenge...... not too sure if I'm ok with it though....
