Make a Wish

Well it has been a long haul to get a card made, my MoJo has been so lacking since Katie left us, the funeral is on Monday and I would like you all to say a prayer for her family.

I had a bit of a moment trying to get flowers sent to the Chapel but I managed at 3am Friday morning, silly time I know but I actually managed an early night on Thursday and climbed the stairs to bed at around 9:45pm pretty unheard of for me and resulted in me being wide eyed and bushy tailed silly a.m. Friday morning.

The image I have chosen to make a card with is Make a Wish by Mo’s Digital Pencil and the main background paper for the card I made myself and you can get it here for free

Double ribbon bow, tutorial on my sidebar in Video Tutorials, matting a layering, buttons and a lot of tears to bring it all together.

In Memory of a Beautiful Friend

It is with deep regret that that a have to tell you that my beautiful friend Katie Renz passed away yesterday morning, Katie has left behind a very devoted Husband Kevin and 3 wonderful sons Hunter, Will and Nate.

Katie was such a beautiful lady and so very loved by all that knew her.

I know that many of you gave so generously to the fundraising and went on to follow Katie's battle with gastric cancer, Thank you dear friends.

When Katie first told me of her illness I sent her a guardian angel necklace to watch over her and she sent me this photo of her.

I wanted to do scrapbook page to keep in her memory…. love you Katie.

Just Inklined to Hop–Something to give for Christmas

The Blog hop this Month for Just Inklined is sure to get the inspiration flowing for Christmas ideas, this Months theme is Make something to give at Christmas and our host is Heidy and that is where our Blog hop Starts.

You should have landed here with me from the all inspiring Jeni’s blog so be sure to go to each blog and leave a comment as there will be a couple of spot prizes for comment left.

I wouldn’t deny I found this a struggle having lost my MoJo but I’m thrilled how it turned out.

I used Father Christmas from Just Inklined for my project of a tea light holder (battery operated) and here it is all aglow, I used the Tonic Studios gear levered star punch.

Father Christmas2

I printed out the digi stamp onto a heavy white vellum paper and added one of my snowflake papers as the background then coloured his with Promarkers.

Father Christmas3

I added stickle glitter glue onto his hat and around the cut out stars on the vellum to let extra light shine through.

Father Christmas1

Next up is the uber talented Tammy and I know she will have something special to show you all.

Don’t forget to leave a comment at all of the blog you visit on the hop for a chance of winning a spot prize.
