Super Hero Sam...Please read!!!!!




Send them to Sam is a card campaign.


These are Kathy's word's you read next...
Please show your SUPPORT....


I am challenging all you talented ladies to help little Sam fight Cancer. Sam is a wonderful and strong 5 year old boy. His battle with Cancer is just beginning. He was diagnosed with Stage 3 Lymphoma this week. He has a very tough fight ahead of him. I would love everyone to join me in helping Sam fight this and WIN! Sam will be in the hospital for many months. I am starting a campaign to fill his days with tons of cards from all over the globe. What fun for Sam to know that people from all sides of the Earth are supporting and thinking about him. I am going to give him a map book and a ton of stickers. He will put a sticker on each location that his cards come from. How awesome would it be to cover the whole Earth with stickers from people supporting Super Sam. This will be a great adventure for Sam to watch the LOVE and SUPPORT from every corner of the globe. Lets each set a personal goal of one card a month, one card a week, or one card a day.



Keep them coming so he never stops looking forward to the next card delivery....
This is a request to all you wonderful blogger's from Kathy over at PIXIE DUST STUDIO
Please help spread the word by displaying the blinkie...

With Sympathy....

Hi Everyone
Hope the weather is nice where you are today...it's raining here in Leeds/UK.
Well just a quick card for you to see for now....

Will be back later with more.
I used Black cardstock for the base card.
Folded as you would to make a Trifold or Easel card.
I cut three different size circles from Black cardstock and attached to the front with foam pads for a little dimension.
I faux stitched using a white marker pen.
The first circle has a Calla Lily coloured using Promarkers.(If you recognise this Lilly please let me know so i can give credit where it is due).
The second as a piece of Lace tied around it and bowed.
The third has a little Black Glass Heart.
The sentiments are Gold Peel-offs.
PLEASE REMEMBER I HAVE CANDY HERE ON MY OTHER BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See you all soon...
Hugs Alison.

Meet The Gorgeous Lou

Hi everyone

This is the gorgeous Lou..... designed by the very talented CJ of COWGIRL-UP STAMPS which you will find HERE.

CJ will be opening her new store very soon.....WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!!!

I used a sheet of Cream Shimmery card stock for the base card.

I then used the Purple and Light Blue floral backingpaper on the card front and down the left inside of the card.

I used Purple cardstock and punched each corner with an ornate Fiskars corner punch.

I then punched the corners of Lou with the same punch but different pattern and attached to the purple card.

I used a Promarker pen to go around the edge of the card it's self and the purple card, i used Aubergine.

The back of Lou is coloured with Chalks.

Lou is coloured with Twinkling H20's.

Three Pearls from Kanban which i also coloured with the Aubergine pen.

I attached a piece of lace around the bottom of the card.

I then made a little flower decoration using Roses and leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I also used an Heart pin and little Glass balls for extra embellishment.

Hope you like what you see...

Hugs Alison.
