Aqua and Apricot

This is my entry for this weeks Passion for ProMarkers challenge to use Aqua and Apricot along with handmade flowers. I'm also entering it for the sketch and paper piecing at The Sugar Bowl.



I've used my gorjuss girl again because I thought she'd be perfect for paper piecing, she's shaded with aqua and apricot ProMarkers too. I made my flowers with a Cuttlebug die, some cutting and creasing and finished off with buttons and thread. The papers are from DCWV citrus stack - the aqua one has a really nice sparkle to it. The ribbons are both from my stash.



Well I made it to fat club last night and am chuffed as I lost 3 and a half pounds in my first week. One woman lost 10 and a half pounds (OMG!). I'm also feeling lots better today (although I'm informed my sore throat and cough could last a couple of weeks) so after breakfast I'm going to get me and my boys ready and go for a bit of a walk around the shops to blow the cobwebs out so to speak.
