Pink Notebook...

I made this notebook for both Sue & Nikki's Breast Cancer Awareness projects.
I wasn't going to join in,as my Mum had breast cancer when she was 19 & I find it hard to think about.The lump was removed ,along with her ovaries,to stop her breasts from functioning,so that meant she couldn't have any more children (just me & my sister).As there is a family history of breast cancer,we (myself included) have to go for annual mammograms & have also seen geneticists (sp?).
I don't want to upset my Mum by giving her this book & get her thinking about it all again,so I made this book with her in mind & will enter it into both Sue & Nikki's Pink blog candy,if I win,I will tell my Mum & then it will make her smile!!! :o)x

Tilda & Friends ATC~Halloween Spooks...

I have really,really enjoyed making Halloween themed projects (you might have noticed!!!) & it will soon be over,awww :o(
I quickly made this lil ATC for this weeks Tilda & Friends challenge as their theme is Halloween Spooks,YEY!!!! I have been waiting ages for these pumpkin charms to get here from Hong Kong (ebay) & now it's nearly over,huh!!!! I coloured the image with Promarkers,added Stickles.Stamps are ALOTA(I won them over at Sketch Saturday a few weeks ago!!!),gems are PM,ribbon is Poppicrafts.
If anybody wants to swap this ATC for theirs,just let me know.TFL :o)xxx

Sassy Crafts DT Call...Round Two...

I got through to the 2nd & final round,of the Sassy Crafts DT Call.

The theme is "Make Your Own!!!" (You can make anything you like,on any subject.You CANNOT use any ready made embellishments,you have to make your own!!).

I decided to use 2 new stamps,I had been saving,they are sooo beautiful.They are both Hero Arts ,Long Branch & Bird Cage.I stamped the cage twice & mounted 1 image on foam pads,on top of the other.The "ribbon" holding the cage to the tree is actually a thin strip of card,tied in a knot & the "flowers" are punched out & curled to stand out.I put stickles in the middle for some sparkle.

I then made a candle to match & decorated the same.

Thankyou for looking & here goes..... :o)xxx
