Flowers Lace & Pearls!

Good Morning Lovely Bloggers

It's a lovely Sunday morning & it's time for the latest challenge at 

The Crafty Pad! The theme this week is

Challenge #190 Floral

Here's my card!

I used the TCP - Flowers For Mum image (one of my many favourite's)

and For Someone Special Sentiment Ticket

The design is once again fairly simple as I am still crafting where I can 

in my topsy turvey mid decoration house! lol My stash is still packed 

in boxes all over the place & I can't find a thing!

I coloured the image with a combination of 

Promarkers & Flexmarkers

The cotton lace & twine are part of a gift I received recently 

from the USA, aren't they beautiful!

I added a few self adhesive pearls which I think are from Meiflower

I decorated the inside of the card too & I 

couldn't resist adding a piece of twine!

The DP I have used is from a free download called

Paper Daisies by Sugar Plum Paperie!

Thanks for dropping in, it's always nice to see you!

Welcome To My Challenge!

Good Morning Lovely Bloggers!

Welcome to my Challenge!
This is a sticky post & will stay at the top until the challenge closes
on the 29th September 2012 at 7.00pm UK time!

(Simply scroll down for newer posts!)
Breast Cancer Awareness and/or Think Pink,
not just a little use a lot!

This is a card I created previously, you can read about it here

If you read my Saturday post, You'll know what this is all about!

Around 18 months ago my Mum found a lump under her arm,
she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer & had had surgery followed by Chemotherapy,
she's now on her second type of Chemo & has Radiotherapy to look forward to!
Her journey has been a tough one with lots of setbacks along the way but she has
remained positive & strong beyond belief along the way!
You can check out more of the story on my Just Giving Page.
As a result of Chemo, my Mum has lost her hair.

(Mum & I)

I have been so moved by the experience & by how many people in the world
have been affected in one way & another by this terrible disease, that I decided
I just had to do something about it!
So, I'm having my head shaved on Saturday 8th September 3.30pm
@ The Out Of The Blue Drill Hall, Edinburgh
to raise funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer!
Pop in if you're free!

"Breakthrough Breast Cancer is a pioneering charity dedicated to the prevention, treatment and ultimate eradication of breast cancer. We believe passionately that this disease can be beaten. By fighting on three fronts – research, campaigning and education – we are determined to save and change lives by removing the fear of breast cancer for good."

My hope is that we can raise awareness, as well as some funds via this challenge.
Just a small donation from each of you would make such a big difference!
Every £1 or $1 counts!

(my head shave in progress!)

DTD Blog Hop

Happy Hump Day lovely bloggers!

It's the last Wednesday of the month which means it's time for the

Dude Time Doodles New Release Blog Hop

If you are already following the hop & you map skills are good,
you'll hopefully have found your way over here from

the lovely  & oh so talented Tammy's blog!

If you have just happened on the hop then fear not,

it's a circle hop & if you carry on from here you can just hop 

round until you have seen all the samples that the Dude & Dudettes have
 created to welcome the new residents to Dudesville!

This is Franklin Stein! 

He & the rest of the fab new images are

available in the Dude Time Doodles Store from today.

If you are anxious to get on with the hop, you need to go visit with 

our super talented Nancy who I'm sure has a howlarious to show you!

Before you go, don't forget to leave some love along the way!

There is a mystery Host/Hostess with a prize to give away to 

one lucky commenter!

Now, as you're still here, I guess you want to read a little 

bit more about my card! 

I made a 6"x6" card using a sheet of A4 cardstock,

I used some digital papers which were created by 

Michelle Stones, for matting & layering,

They can be found here at Free Digital Scrapbooking

 used them for matting & layering.

The sentiment panels were made on the PC using a free font called

Evil Of Frankenstein you can find it here.

The image was coloured with Promarkers

I distressed the edges of the image & sentiment panels then 

ran the chisel tip of my promarker around it to get the inked edge!

I also added a little spider charm which is dangling from a raggy 

piece of ribbon which is knotted at each end.

Franklin Stein would be an ideal image for Halloween but as 

we have a friend who's birthday is around that time, 

I made this card for him!

Do you like my punny sentiment???

I just love that little patch on his knee!lol

I decorated the inside of the card a little too!

Now, don't forget as I said earlier to leave a comment at each stop 

as you go! Thanks so much for hopping by!

Your next stop on the hop is Nancy!

Have fun, fun, fun!

**NB Intitially, the links will be to the other blogs on the hop but not post specific 

as I will be catching a few zzzzzzz when it goes live!**

I promise to update them as soon as I can in the morning!
