Penny Black Challenge - Something Sweet

This weeks challenge really got me thinking, but looking through my stash I found this PB Caterpillar image I recieved in a swap. The cupcakes count as something 'sweeet' and teamed with the very colourful Lime Rickey papers by BG, he makes a very cheerful card. I intend to send this to Robyn H from Post Pals, who's favourite colour is yellow. Please take a moment to pop over to the Post Pals site and see how you could brighten a sick childs day by sending them a card.I used a sketch from a couple of weeks ago as I think it works well with the papers, and I have diamond glazed the cakes and his body.tfl

Post Pals and SCD

Here is a card and little notepad I made for Ayesha from Post Pals This is a fantastic charity that helps to bring a smile to a sick child - read about it by clicking on the link. Ayesha likes baking cakes (and I like eating them) so I used my craftwork card templates to create these for her. Inside the notebook, the pages are different colour card, so she can write her cake recipes if she wants to.














This next card is for the week 27 Challenge on SCD which is 'Pink with a christmas tree' I have used my very versatile tree stamp, glittered it up and added some silver embellishments. Check out the blog for some very different and lovely DT samples

Post Pals

I thought I'd show something I have made for one of the Post Pals Children, Kerry, who is having a really rough time. You can read about her here As well as the card, I covered a notebook using the same Three Bugs in a Rug papers, as she loves stationery because she is learning to write again.You can't tell from the photo, but the towers are 3d. I also made a book mark for her and each of her 2 sisters, as I didnt want to leave them out. I hope it helps to brighten her day a little.

Post Pals

I have made a couple of cards to send to this months featured children on Post Pals. These are for Zachary H and Rhainna J, and you can read about these brave kids on the website. If you have any spare cards, please think about sending them one as it can really brighten their day.

Two Challenges - One Project

Today I managed to combine challenges. Over on Something Completely Different, this weeks challenge is to create a tag, and the theme is 'Crowns'. I've had this chipboard crown for ages, I covered it with 3 bugs papers and added a few embellishments. This weeks DCM challenge is to make a card with a sick child in mind. They have linked up with the charity Post Pals, an organisation that was set up to create smiles for children who suffer from life threatening and long term illnesses. The idea is to post the card to one of the children featured on the home page of Post Pals. Life seems to be throwing me lemons at the moment, but after reading these childrens' moving stories, I realise how lucky I am. Here's the card I made for Amy P.

Basic Grey Challenge

This is the first time I've joined in this Challenge over at Basic Grey and the theme this week is 'Pockets'. The papers are from theEva range and the sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkado
