Leaves Are Falling...






A quick card that I made using a wonderful image called 'Growing A Flower' from A Day For Daisies that was printed on Neenah classic crest card in Solar White and coloured with spectrum noir pens, I had made a list of all the colours that I used on a piece of paper but I can't for the life of me find it so its no doubt been thrown in the bin with the 'too small to use again' scraps and the backing from the double sided taped that was used to stick the image and matting and layering down. The leaves are fussy cut from a sheet of ivory cardstock that was embossed using a Sheena Douglass folder called 'Ivy' I think, it was a free gift included with the first edition of 'Crafters Inspiration' from Crafters Companion which was released for christmas last year, obviously that issue is no longer available but issue 3 has just been released and it contains some really great gifts including two cd-roms, an Die-sire Embossalicious embossing folder, stamps, beading kit and a paper pack that is jam packed full of beautiful papers that can be used for many occasions all year round. The sentiment is one from the very generous Paulette over at Create With TLC who as daily freebies on her blog as well as an etsy store full of awesome images and sentiments so be sure to stop by and have a look and don't forget a thankyou if you take any of her digi's.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my project, its very much appreciated as are all the wonderful comments that you leave.

Sending Hope...

As many people already know October is a huge month of awareness for many charitable causes, a few of which are close to my heart but a lot of these get overlooked by a bigger, more well known cause... Breast Cancer Awareness.  There are a couple of people in my life that are surviving or currently going through this horrible disease so when I made this card I was thinking of them, as well as all the women around the world that are battling and surviving.
I had meant to post today's card last week but with one thing and another it completely slipped my mind, I swear I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on.



The image is from the lovely Tamara at The Stamping Chef which can be found in store along with many other awesome and unique designs both for awareness causes and every day use, was coloured with my spectrum-noir pens. It was matted and layered on a pink paper from my stash and blue card that was purchased at the papermill, the butterfly card is one i've had for a wee while from Kanban and everything else including the ribbon, charm and gems were stuff that i've had lying around in my stash just crying out to be used on this card. The overall size is 8x8 inches

On one last note ladies, be sure to check regularly and get your mammograms

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
