challenges & blog candy !

Thankfully I had a bit more oomph today and managed a few cards for some friends,
and two of them are also perfect for challenges.

This one is as a thinking of you after your op card!





This card was made using a template that Emma sent me...



As you probably know, October is Breast cancer awareness month.
It is likely that we all have someone we know or love or maybe even yourself
who has had a battle or scare with breast cancer.

The card is also for a friend,
I have made a few like this to send to some girlie mates..
just to say hello and remind them to squish their boobs!

Check out Breast Cancer blog candy here at Slumber Cards!

I am going to enter it the This Thursday its all about,
because it is to do something from your heart....
and this is something I feel passionate about,
I am sending similar cards to people who I love ....
and all the time I was making it I was reminded about women in my life
who I care about who are fighting breast cancer or who sadly have lost their battles
with breast cancer.....

Helen, Fiona, Alison, Jean,
to all the ladies who I had the pleasure knowing while nursing
them during their battle with this awful disease...

• Some facts.....
• More people are being diagnosed with breast cancer, but survival rates are improving all the time.
• Around 46,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year - that’s one person every 12 minutes
• 
  
• Breast cancer also affects men, but it is rare, around 300 men are diagnosed each year

Be Breast Aware !

I also made this card for a friend, just as a thinking of you card.

I am entering it in Cute Card Thursday as its challenge is Autumn ,

I am loving the colours of Autumn so enjoyed making this card.

It is also made using a sketch from papertake weekly challenge.

On a much much lighter note.......

Poor poppy ended up in such a mess while trying to get the
yogurt out of the corners of the pot!!








hope you are all well,


much love Teen xxx

change of plans.....

Today was full of plans that have been in place for a good few days.....we had changed all sorts around to make sure we were and others were free for moving a mate into her new house today.

But there was a change of plans....for a few reasons....and she didn't need us to come round.

So we thought we would potter around in the garden till we went out to another
friends for dinner....the washing was almost dry and would put that away in a few hours.

But it has rained all day......and the almost dried washing was soaked before I saw it was raining!

So Andrew pottered about in his shed.....and then made elderberry jam.


which is the most beautiful royal purple colour and tastes scrummy!

And I soaked in the bath for ages till I was wrinkly like a prune!!

thankfully no picture of this were taken!! PHEW!

Then another mate who shall remain nameless had to change all her plans as they were kindly offered to help in the above mentioned move.....but was not needed so went out for the day...
and had a wee accident and hurt herself,
so could we canceled the meal we had planned to have together.

I hope she feels better soon ! Gentle Hugs to you XXXX

We cooked extra portions last week and froze it and that was taken out to thaw,
dinner was sorted!

I went upstairs and did some crafting!

I have finished the serious pile of cards I needed to do....and that's a relief!
Just the change of address cards to do and Andrew has fixed printer so that's my next task!


This yellow card is for the papertake weekly challenge and to be donated to Children in Need.
They will all be put together to make a huge Pudsey bear.... Cool.

This is a sizzex die to cut the butterfly that I have borrowed from Emma.

I might also enter it for cute card Thursday as it is sparkle this week and I applied some fine glitter to the card...and ended up wearing a fair bit of it in my hair and on my clothes!

Also ABC Challenge is jewels ...so will pop it in for that too!

My Mate Sheena's Birthday is not till next month but I made this card with her in mind,
and it is perfect for Arty Girlz Challenge which is Autumn themes....

and now to relax and enjoy strictly come dancing .....
