Charity Cards

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.

Here are a few cards I have ready for my local charity shop

Marie Currie

I don't know whether its my area but I find handmade cards so hard to sell here, so I decided to donate them to charity.

My mother had bowel cancer about 14 years ago and thankfully it was caught in time and she didn't need any treatment.  We didn't need these lovely nurses, but you never know, and as they are not government funded they need all the donations they can get.  Also my aunt but she wasn't so lucky and palliative care was needed.

These will be dropped into my local shop and hopefully when they put them out they have a higher success rate than myself.

#103 - Brown Sugar Challenge - Sand and Sea

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.

Its Friday and its time for another challenge from 

Brown Sugar Challenge Blog

By the time this is uploaded to the site I will probably be sitting in a lovely boring airport waiting to fly home from my holidays in tenerife.  The weather was fantastic and with limited wifi access I have eventually got this post wrote.

Our theme for this weeks challenge is

Sea & Sand

In this weeks card I used an image from our sponsors and coloured in with promarkers.  It was cut out with Spellbinders die and mounted onto blue card.  The pattern paper comes from a selection of DCWV papers I got through QVC embellished with some self adhesive stickers and gems, mounted onto kraft card stock.

Sponsors - Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet
