One for the Girls

It's Friday again and time for a new challenge at CASual Fridays :0)

I loved seeing your cards inspired by your own blog headers and judging by your own words and creations, you enjoyed making them too.... even the most simple designs inspired you to make some wonderful cards. 

Now October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month so our challenge this week is called 'One for the Girls' and it's a guest designer search week as well.

We want to see your cards celebrating the girls in our lives... family or friends and this weeks winner will receive a gift card from our regular sponsor Simon Says Stamp.

My card is pretty self explanatory really... going with the pink theme of the Breast Cancer campaign ribbon I used this large sentiment from My Favourite Things which continues onto the inside with "Really, you are!"

I hope you join us this week to help raise awareness of this terrible disease, whether it be a gentle reminder to check out any concerns you have or to celebrate those fortunate to come through treatment and fondly remember those who were not so lucky.

The Girl Fridays have more cards to share with you over at the blog and this week we are joined by the wonderfully creative Birgit as our guest designer. Pop back this evening for a special Happy Hour post for news of an extra prize giveaway too :0)

Thanks for stopping by today.

A Simple Christmas at St Luke's

Well a new month is upon us and Christmas is on the horizon although judging by our local supermarkets display of Christmas fayre you'd think it was in a few weeks time!!!

The new challenge over at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge is to make a clean and simple Christmas card... with plenty of white space, perhaps thinking modern and graphic which is the style I decided to go with....

I hand cut and inked the snowy hills for my stylised trees to sit on.... they are small triangles of card covered in yummy washi tape. 

The snowy sky is stamped with a great little stamp I have that has no name on it which is a shame because it's invaluable when it comes to Christmas scenes and really deserves some recognition!!!

This months prize is this wonderful stamp set generously donated by Claire Brennan from Waltzingmouse Stamps.... perfectly themed for this months challenge :0)

So it's time to break out that seasonal stash and show us your CAS Christmas cards, a great excuse to get started on them or add to them......... well that's one more for my collection this year anyhow :0)

Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's cards here.... thanks for looking :0)
