Special Fundraising BCA Image

UPDATED JAN 2015 IMAGE NO LONGER AVAILABLE DUE TO NEW VAT LAWS

Hi all you lovely bloggers,

Have you seen the news here in the UK about the new drug to

 treat ladies with advanced breast cancer? 

You can check it out here

As you probably know by now, as a result of my mum

 being treated for Breast Cancer,I have been fundraising 

this last little while for Breakthrough Breast Cancer

I have had my head shaved & in an attempt to boost my funds a little more,

I am currently running two 

Breast Cancer Awareness/Think Pink Themed Challenges

one on my blog here with a host of fantastic sponsor prizes to be won

& the other on The Crafty Pad where you can fnd some fantastic BCA freebies 

drawn by the lovely "Boss" Deborah Moore of The Crafty Pad Designs.

As well as another list of fab sponsor prizes to be won!

I have also been lucky enough to receive an exclusive

 Digital Image to sell on my blog to help with fundraising.

The image was drawn by Lindsay Elise Jolly

of LEJ Designs & is called 

"Hope"

Isn't she beautiful & poignant!

 Here is a card made by Lindsay using the image she has drawn.

You can see more about it on Lindsay's Blog

As Lindsay normally retails her images at £1.50 

I have decided that to respect Lindays work & the image

 "Hope" 

it will be sold exclusively here at  £1.50. 

100% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will go to my fundraising for

Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

If you'd like to own & create with "Hope" please click on the button below!

Please feel free to share the news about this image & let people 

know where they can purchase her!

With Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming up,

I'm sure many of you will find her useful & won't it feel good 

knowing that you have helped a worthy cause too!

Thanks so much for your support!

Greetings All!

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday all!

It's Inspiration Time At Dude Time Doodles!

For this weeks challenge, we'd like to see you

 "Add A Sentiment"

Here's my project!

I decided to use Breast Cancer Awareness Girl for another cause!

Whilst I was chatting to a neighbour about my fundraising for

Breakthrough Breast Cancer

and the reasons behind it, he told me that he was in 

the midst of treatment for Prostate Cancer.

He was really positive about it & I was inspired to make a card for him!

I looked up the ribbon colour for Prostate Cancer & it seems to be 

light blue hence the colours on my card!

my image was coloured with a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers.

The base card was cut with a Grand Nestability then I added a 

smaller shaped piece of the spotty DP which has been in my stash for ever &

was from Do Crafts about a million years ago! lol

The sentiment was part of the set, I inked the edges of the image & the 

sentiment then added a blue ribbon (recycled off of a dressing gown) 

& some little blue self adhesive pearls.

As the card is for a man, I wanted it to be fairly Clean & Simple 

so I stopped there!

Here is the back of the card, just to let you see that I have cut a slice off

of the bottom to help it stand up & stop it rolling about!
Inside the card is lined with a plain insert cut with the Grand nestie.

I do hope he likes it & gets a chuckle!

Thanks for stopping by, now head on over to Dude Time Doodles

 to see what the rest of the team have made for your inspiration!
We also have a sponsor this week!

Christmas Joy!

I was delighted to be asked to GDT at Creative Craft Challenges.

I love playing along with their fun challenges!

Here's the little card I made!

The image I was given to play with is 

Make It Snappy -Joy Squares from Bugaboo 

as it was quite simple & snappy, I decided to keep my

 card fairly simple too!

Bugaboo are sponsoring the challenge which is "Anything Goes"

For the base, I used an A6 midnight blue pearlised card blank 

then added a matt of red CS which I ran through the Big Shot in a 

Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder. I also added some 

glitter edged ribbon which was tied in a double bow & some 

gold & green adhesive gems!

I printed out the image twice, coloured with my Sakura glitter gel pens

then cut out the elements from the second image & layered them

up using pinflair glue.

I hope you like my simple little card!

Can't wait to see what you make!

Good Morning & A Happy Sunday to you all!

It's time for the latest challenge at The Crafty Pad this week!

The theme chosen by our lovely Pauline, is

#188- Autumn Colours

Here is my little offering!

The image I have used is Fairy Chloe on Mushroom.

I have coloured her with a mix if Flemarkers & Promarkers.

I cut out the image with a circle nestie & matted onto a

scalloped circle.The punched border was done using a 

Martha Stewart Doily punch

Here's a closer look.You can just about make out the Diamond Sparkles 

I have added. The DP's are from Lidl & one is pre glittered.

I decorated the inside of the card to reflect the outside.

The panel is a little smaller as I was using up some scraps.

The side view!

Side view of the outside. The ribbon is from a local haberdashers

& you can see I have added some gems in the top corner to balance the card!

The greeting is computer generated using a font called Faerie.

Emily, her sister & her mum all love faeries!
