Just a Note of Thanks

Good morning! Earlier this month I received a box of cards from Betty and daughter Kaylee who are from Grande Prairie, Alberta for Send A Smile 4 Kids Canada. The box was huge and filled with all different kinds of cards.

These are just a very few of the cards made. 

Kaylee even drew the images for some of them!

 I made this thank you card for them from the Bugaboo Freebie School Bear Pencil that's available today and used the current Stella Says Sketch. The Stella challenge is open for another 3 weeks.

Grab your Bugaboo Freebie it usually changes at noon and have a great weekend. I have another week off and am going to play in my craftroom!

Little Horse

Good morning! It was my son's birthday yesterday and this is one of the cards I made for him. I googled Animal Puns and this was one of them. I thought they were hilarious my husband...not so much.

I opened Doodle Pantry's Charlie Horse coloured version (the bird and horse on the fence) and then merged Charlie Daisy outline version in front of the fence. This was one of the fastest cards I've done in a long time. The inside says

Remember

Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Chocolate, Coffee & Cards and the challenge is Ribbon for a Cause. I used the Doodle Pantry I Will Survive set and  coloured it purple for Alzheimer's (I know it looks blue but purple doesn't photograph well)

My Dad has dementia but he's 81 and with advanced age sometimes that happens. But I sat and talked to my sister-in-law a couple of days ago and we had a great conversation. But when I got up to leave I knew deep in my soul that to her I was only the lady who was walking a dog who stopped by to talk. She had no clue as to my name or that I was related to her. She's 53. When Alzheimer's hits someone that young its so tragic, not really for the person because they just don't know, but for the family. Her husband of 28 years is devastated. He's angry at the disease and its the family of the victims who need the help.

Thank you, thank you

Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Little Hands Challenge Blog and its a challenge blog for kids! The age is 16 and under and the challenge this week is a thank you card for a school teacher, dance/music, etc. I have two friends with girls aged 14 and 16 and they both would do a card similar to mine, especially with the sentiment, lol! The only thing missing is glitter, they really, really, r-e-a-l-l-y like glitter and I didn't put any on this! 

I used Doodle Pantry's Buttercups and created my own sentiment and finally got to use a new spellbinder border, very nice. Tell all your friends kids about the challenge, they'll have a blast!
