RAK for Jayme

Jayme's sister has asked if her blogland friends could send card to her sister.  Here is an excerpt from Lisa's blog.

I am having a special event for my sister Jayme. She is in her early 50's and has terminal lung cancer. To make it worse, her sweet dachshund Molly passed away a couple weeks ago. Today we learned her cancer has spread to several other areas and her time is running out. I am asking for all my card making friends to send her a fun card...not really get well cards obviously, but something pretty or funny that will make her smile. She is a frog collector so frog cards would be awesome! I have been blessed by all those I design for to have a wonderful offer of blog candy. Details are below on how to enter. I will choose a winner June 2nd.


I have left this late to let you know about the candy but I'm sure you can still send a card.

The image is a Pollycraft frog, the flowers are Prima and the charm is from Hobby House.  The base card and pink mat are from a set of cards and envelopes from The Range.  The image and ribbon (C & C) is coloured with Copics.


A simple card but made with love.  I hope it makes Jayme smile.

Mother's Day Card

This is the card I have made for my MIL. I have mis-stamped? a flower at the bottom but I'm sure she won't mind. I've also noticed I haven't put MUM on it yet so will do that in the morning before we take it to her.

I am entering this card into the A Gem of a Challenge challenge. I have followed the sketch but I have put 2 leaves at the side of the big flower instead of 2 other flowers. I hope this will be allowed. The paper was a K & Co 12" x 12" paper I had and the red card had heart shapes embossed on it. The flowers were Prima.

For my Mother's Day I have bought (from my children) a new set of cutting plates for my Big Shot (I have used my other so much one of them cracked) and I have on pre-order from Craft Den a couple of Tim Holtz new dies. If you pre-order there is a discount. Hop over to the website and see for yourself.

Just Because...

These 2 cards were made for people at work who haven't had a good week. They are "Just Because" cards to let them know there are people who care about them and they are not alone. I know it's work related but even then sometimes it feels like you're the one who gets all the c**p thrown at you and no-one cares. Now they know someone does.

The papers were from K & Co 6" pad Sparkly Sweet. The flowers were Prima (e.). The images were Digital Doodlings Fairy with spots and Little 'Jeanie' Tilly. The charms , spacers and pearl brads were from The Hobby House, they are on ribbon because my DD had the chain I bought to put them on and I don't know where she put it.

Hope every one has a great weekend.
