Lucky and Faith, Hope, Strength

I've been a lucky girl and my fairy blogmother Jill has struck again and sent me some fab Leanne Ellis images amongst others, a stamp and some DP's.... Thanks honey and i do feel very blessed to have some amazing friends like you ... (you know who you are and i love you!)

Here's another card i've made for my cousin, this is the one that i shall be giving her.

Again, i've managed to use paper scraps to make it with ... i didn't realise how many i had till i started working my way through them lol! CS & DP's ~ scraps, image ~ RAK from Tab coloured with WM's, stitching ~ sewing machine (found a fab stitch on there too whilst i was playing, its the one used on the brown spotty DP), flowers and brads ~ stash.

I also managed to decorate the inside too with some more of the leftovers so they are completely used up ... dunno if i'll start doing this on all my cards now or not ... can't work out if its too much hassle or not pmsl!

Sentiment ~ Summer Driggs Awareness Kit.

Friday Sketchers #39 Take Two

I decided to give the Friday Sketchers sketch #39 another go cos i really dont like that card 2 posts down and no matter how much i look at it it's just not doing it for me.

So here is take two .....

CS & DP's ~ again from my leftover's, stitching ~ sewing machine, image ~ RAK from Jill, coloured with WM's, flowers ~ made for scraps of card, pearls ~ stash. I've not put a sentiment on yet, cos not sure what to put. My cousin has just been diagnosed with breast cancer (which is why i used the pink ribbon paper) and has to undergo radium treatment starting next month. This card is just to let her know we're all thinking of her.

Think Pink "Breast Cancer Awareness" Blog Candy & Tilda & Co Challenge 40

Suzanne is giving away some gorgeous pink blog candy. She wants to do something special for her blogoversary and 30,000 hits BLOG CANDY. The October "Think Pink" campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness is very close to her heart and I am sure it is the same for many of you too. So when the new "Tilda Think Pink" stamps were released on Saturday she was straight on the site to order 2 Tilda's and a couple of sentiments. She has decided as us girls have been so kind and supportive over the past year that she is going give one of each... a BCA Tilda and sentiment along with lots of pink goodies to make our cards with. No picture at the moment but as soon as the stamps arrive she will post one. She is to keep this open for the whole month of October and she will get her Mum to choose a winner on Friday 31st October at 20.00 hrs. Here is what she would like us to do.. "if you have time can you make a pink card and send it to someone who could do with a little tender loving care. It would be lovely if it was someone who's life has been touched by this terrible disease but it can be anyone who could do with a kind word and a beautiful card to cheer them up. I am sure we all know someone."

Well I definitely do! My Auntie was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and has had surgery and spent the whole summer having Chemotherapy and is now having Radiotherapy. Hopefully things will begin to look up for soon. 2008 most definitely hasn't been a good year for her and her family. So this is the card that I enter into Suzanne's blog candy competition and will be sending to my Auntie to let her know even though we live so many miles away, she's still very much in our thoughts!

I have based this card on the sketch at Tilda & Co Challenge . My first ever entry for this challenge blog. CS ~ pink pearl card, Papermill, DP's and sentiment which reads "faith hope strength" ~ Summer Driggs Awareness, blooms and pearls ~ stash, image ~ coloured with Whisper markers and paper pieced.
