Crafting for Strangers TGF

Hello Everyone!

Haven't posted in a while... been a little busy.... but found a little time to make a card for a little stranger. Her name is Addie Fausett and she's just 6 years old. Addie suffers from an extensive atrophy in her brain and her doctors and family believe this may be her last Christmas. Addy and her family wish to have people send her Christmas cards so this is what I came up with.

I colored her with Copics.

I found this paper at Michaels and it was on sale for about $7-$8 (at 60%)

The stamp is Holiday Anya 4 and I found her at

My crafty friend BreAnn McFarland sent me the link

and you can see the info here too.

I hope that even though everyone is busy we can
find a little time for someone else rather than our own... it'll feel nice in the end. :)

Thanks for visiting.

SBS DT: Thanks Rachel and Furry pals

Hello there crafty world!

Hope you all are having a good day/evening. Today I'm showcasing a thank you card that I made using http://simplybstamps.net/item_2999/Rachel-and-Furry-Pals-Digis.htm. Isn't she so pretty? I'm not a dog person... kind of scared of dogs but I'll sit still like a totem pole just so they won't bark or bite. Even though I'm a tad bit scared of dogs there are some that have been very sweet and very very cute. I have a few friends who have doggie friends or doggie kids really LOL and they were very nice to me even though I get a little paranoid around them.

So enough of that... here is my card and I really tried to give the furry pals a nice coat. The colors were inspired by one of my online crafty buddies BreAnn's doggie kids. heehee.

This card I have made with a friend in mine.

 I colored this image with copic maers

                       I used flowers that were sent to me  by Roz and some by Carmen.                               

Here is a close up.

This card is for a PHriend (BreAnn McFarland) who was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension as
a child but still living with this illness.
Also the reason I chose these colors. Periwinkle is the official color but different purples can
be used to make cards or be worn for awareness.
You can learn more about this illness at  http://www.phassociation.org/AwarenessMonth

BreAnn had sent me a RAK twice already and I've been making some cards for her along with some crafty goodies. This card is for her but some will be for her to give to her PHriends.
I hope you like my card.

Thank you very much for visiting!!!

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all are having an awesome day. 

This is not a new project (I colored her up around May but sent it around June- yes I'm horrible about sending cards on time working on that) but wanted to share anyway. One of our bloggy friend's sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and is still battling with the effects of it. A bunch of us from the Simply Betty Fan group sent her cards Using Simply B's image.

http://simplybstamps.net/item_1799/Breast-Cancer-Ladies.htm

This particular one is called "Cindy for the Cause."

I enlarged her and cropped her out then added the sentiment to the shirt. 

I colored my image with Spectrum Noirs. 

I hope she liked my card and hope she is doing much better each day.   

Thanks for stopping by.
