Thanks to my friends!!

As i mentioned in my post yesterday - i took part in the 'Step Under The Stars' event on Saturday night, completing a 10 mile midnight walk fundraising for the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice and i promised pictures!! So here's a pic of me and my sister before we set off:

and here is a pic of us after 10 miles of walking in the dark and pouring rain - completely relieved it was over, wearing our medals and looking forward to our beds!!



I just want to say thankyou so much to all my friends and family who sponsored me for this event - so far i have raised £165!!

The card today, fits in with this blog theme and was made by my upline Cate at a recent training event i went to:

A 'Rose Red' cardbase, with a strip of 'Early Espresso' card and some 'Subtles DSP'. Cate punched out four '1-1/4" Circles' out of 'Crumb Cake', 'Old Olive', 'Early Espresso' and 'Very Vanilla' cardstock. On the 'Very Vanilla' circle Cate stamped out the branch and flowers from the 'Tiny Tag' stampset. She used her 'Old Olive' and 'Rose Red' 'Stampin' Write Markers' to do this. The sentiment is also from the 'Tiny Tags' set. All finished off with a 'Basic Rhinestone' bling!!

Katie's Punch Art Pram!

Hi everyone! I hope you have had a great weekend. I usually like my weekends to be peaceful and restful - but that was not the case this weekend! Last night i participated (along with about another 650 women) a midnight 10 mile walk to raise money for the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice. I have a lot to thank the hospice for - they excellently cared for my grandad during his final year of suffering with cancer and still regularly check on my nan, offering her care and support. We managed to complete the walk in less than 4 hours - but very achy today - but it's all for a good cause! (I took some pics and will upload and share them with you tomorrow - hopefully!) Thankyou to everyone who sponsored me! It's not too late to offer some money to this fantastic cause - my Just Giving site is still active: http://www.justgiving.com/Bill-Voller )

Today i have a punch-art card to share with you - designed and created by my crafty friend Katie!

Katie used the '1-3/4"  Circle Punch' to create a pram out of 'So Saffron' cardstock and 'DSP', '1/2" Circle Punch' to create the pram wheels - out of 'Crumb Cake' with some brads in the centre and the '3/4" Circle Punch' to create a little baby (the detail has been added with a 'Stampin' Write Marker'!)Katie mounted this cute little pram onto a square of 'Whisper White' cardstock and stamped the little 'boo!' sentiment (from the 'Tiny Tags' stampset in the corner. She finally mounted this onto a 'Crumb Cake' cardbase!

Isn't it such a cute card! Perfect for baby shower invitations, baby arrival announcements, a pregnancy congratulations or safe arrival card!! and of course you can always change the colours and the sentiment to suit! Another clever and original way of using those circle punches!!

Hope you have a lovely Sunday night!! Teaching starts tomorrow so i will be trying to relax as much as possible tonight before the madness begins!!
