Pink, Black, Lots of Love and A Sketch




Hi everyone. Hope you are all enjoying the fireworks tonight and staying safe. I like to see all the colours and love the noises they make but...I am very nervous when we go out. Especially with Steven because he is quite a handful. We did go out though and the kids all loved them. Then it was home for a cuppa and off to bed. Peace at last, lol!

I have finished my card for Jaimie. If you don't know about the hop that's going on for Jaimie then please read my previous post and join in. I really have enjoyed making this one and am very pleased with the end result. I think it could be because it was for such a worthwhile cause. I will be sending it off in the post tomorrow. I hope it helps a wee bit.




I have used a Sugar Nellie image for this one, Penpal, and coloured her with distress inks. I think she is one of my fav images. I have used Basic Grey papers and cardstock from my stash. The circles were cut with nesties on the Bug. The flowers are paper punched with a retro flower punch and a wee flower brad added to the centre. I have made a wee dangly and added a heart charm. I have added lots of wee gems at all corners and also around the circle.

I would also like to enter this into the challenge over at Spoonful of Sugar since I followed the fantastic sketch by Sonja.

I hope you like it. Thanks for taking the time to look. Please be sure and check out my previous post and help send some love and hope to Jaimie.

Hugs

Spread The Love for Jaimie



Hello everyone. I hope that you are all well. I do not have a card to show at the moment. I am working on one and its very nearly done but Wee Steven isn't feeling very well and he isn't settling to sleep very well so...right now, I am lying in bed in the dark with the laptop so that I can stay beside him and also tell you about a fantastic Blog Hope that is going on at the moment.

Jaimie is an 11 year old girl from New Hampshire who has suffered terribly at the hands of four youths as part of a random act of violence. If you go HERE you will read Jamies story.

The blog hop has been organised by Denise and Erin and there are over 60 people involved. The aim is to have as many people as possible make a card and send it to Jaimie and her father in the hope that we can show them a small amount of hope for the future. There are some prizes on offer at the end of the hop however, I am sure that after reading this news, Nobody will need any encouragement at all to join in and make a card.

This is a terrible thing to happen to anyone and this child will need all the love she can get at the moment. I have been deeply touched by Jaimies story, every time I think of it, I get a lump in my throat. I hope that people will take the time to stop and think for a moment about this child and her father. Please make a card for Jaimie and send her some love and hope for the future.

Hopefully, together, we can show her that not everyone is bad.

If you want to read Jaimies story please go HERE.
If you want to participate in the blog hop, please start at Katharina's blog HERE.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, I will post my card as soon as I can get it finished.

Hugs
