Thanks for Your Support

My Poster thanking people for supporting us. I loved the penny black stamp, and saw loads of cards with the same sentiment, and thought it was great. The background and other images, were from a free Breast Cancer Awareness Digital Scrapbooking Kit, from a scrapnart newsletter It think. I have some cards which are similar to give to my family and friends. The poster was mainly for work colleagues.

The image was stamped, and coloured with watercolour pencils. I then scanned it in, and blew it up in photoshop, and added the paper, elements and text.

Koh - I - Noor ~ First Attempt

I treat myself and bought some new Koh-I-Noor woodless pencils, blending stumps and solvent, as I am always looking at the brilliant cards on Elzybells blog, and love the kraft card designs. This is my first attempt and colouring with them. I still have to get the hang of blending them, and the face really isn't that good. More practice needed I think. Luckily it is the Bank Holiday Weekend, so I have plenty of time (Hopefully) to get crafting. Although I am going on holiday to cyprus next weekend, and I really should sort my case and clothes out.

We'll see how it goes.

Race for Life

Not a card a creation yet. In this post, it is about the Race for Life Event that I did at Saltwell Park, Gateshead, for Cancer Research. It was a great day, full of fun. The weather forecast was heavy rain, and wouldnt you know it - it was blazing sunshine, stupid me forgot the sunscreen and I got sunburnt on my shoulders and chest (not great at a Cancer Research Event).

I ran with my Mum, her best friend Susan, and my Best Friend Lynsey. Between us we managed to raise an amazing £466. I was so please that we managed to raise that much for such a fantastic cause. I am definatelt going to do it next year. Need a new idea for the fancy dress aspect of it.

lots of love

Blog in a Box

Yipeee - I told you I would get round to doing something eventually - not much card making yet, as I have been messing around with my blog in a box.  I got it from Sweet Shoppe Designs, and as a first time user and blogger, I found it really easy to set up.  I have to go and make some cards now so that I can post them. Yippeee
