New Cards!!!

Hi hope everything is OK with everyone!!

My whole family have been making cards this week its seems i have given them all the bug, unfortunately the card i made my mum has already posted to my aunt so unable to take a photo, it was different to my usual style so could 0f done with some comments but never mind, therefore i will just upload my mum's and sister's card, as usual any comments are greatly received.

This card is the first man card my sister has made which is one more than i have done lol. Gemma found it really hard to do although it was quite simple in the end, backing papers and peel offs were used.

My mum has also made a card for her friends birthday please leave any comments for her, she used peel offs as to be honest they were the only things she could reach as me and my sister had taken over the lounge floor and she daren't move anywhere,

Here is my sister's 2nd card made for her boyfriend mum and dads 40th wedding anniversary, Gemma got a bit adventurous with this card has she used the cuttlebug, heat embossing, peel offs, ribbon and gems. although i did help her with this.

Hi don't know whats happening at the minute I'm finding time to make some cards. Received 2 more penny black stamps from eBay today not happy both were from the same seller and described as new stamps, when they arrived 1 is filthy with black ink so has definitely been used, it is worse then all my used ones put together so had to get a baby wipe on to it, the other 1 is clean but has also been used you can see the ink on the stamp so not impressed at all, anyway I have made 2 birthday cards 1 for a friends 21st so let me know Wat u think, will speak soon

Well it has taken me a long time to find some time for myself, never mind making cards but i had a couple of hours spare last night so made some cards, i had a anniversary card to make for my 1st order, a 18th birthday card and a general birthday card, I have recently taken delivery of some new penny black stamps (6 in total lol !!!!), which i couldn't wait to use and i bought my first Tilda stamps which i have not had chance to use yet hopefully i will find some more free time soon!!! So here is the final results please let me know what you think as if i don't know how I'm doing i cant improve!!

Starlight Ladies Walk 2008

Hi Everyone,

i am going to be completing a sponsors 13mile walk in the aid of St Rocco's Hospice the walk is on the 20th June 2008 and starts at midnight. St Rocco's Hospice is a place that has helped many family friends who have suffered with cancer and have always cared for them to the very end, the most recent was my best friend's grandad Joe who sadly passed away on the 4th may 2008, they cared for him for the 2 and half weeks he stayed at the hospice not only do they care for the patients but are also a rock and a great support for the families as well.

Here is a little more about St Rocco's Hospice who provides specialist care and support for patients with cancer and other progressive illnesses in the Warrington area. Quality of life is at the centre of our philosophy. Care is given within a 10 bed inpatient unit and 15 place day unit. A huge range of services include complementary therapies, symptom control, nursing care and family support. All these services are offered completely FREE of charge in an atmosphere of love and care.

Now this is where you come in, i feel a little cheeky but at the end of the day if you don't ask you don't get: if you are in a position to do so please could you sponsor me for the walk all money goes to St Rocco's Hospice for the new day unite expansion which will help to improve facilities and enhance the care given to patients and their families, so you will be helping to make a really big difference

i have sent up a fundraising page which is where you can make your donations i will also put a link on my blog and also the page address is http://www.justgiving.com/sararoberts
