RAK Event

Our Whimsy Teamie Lisa has a RAK event on her blog.  Her sister Jayme has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, Lisa would love some kind hearted cardmakers to send her sister cheerful handmade cards to brighten her day.  Jayme particularly likes frogs so when artist Crissy Armstrong heard she designed this fabulous fun frog image to be given away as a freebie for people to make a card for Jayme.

You can read the details of Lisa's RAK here with the address to send the cards to. 

The freebie image called 'Beach Baby Jayme' can be obtained  from the

Whimsy Online Store

or by downloading from here

If you take part and send a card to Jayme make sure you enter Lisa's blog candy draw, she has lots of fabulous prizes on offer generously donated by the companies she designs for.

RAKS

I got this fabulous card from my SBS4 sister Seleise, isn't it just gorgeous? I love the amazing stamping that Seleise adds to all of her cards and the colours on here are my favourite, how sweet is she? Thanks so much Seleise, you are a pal! It was a belated card and I have been holding onto it a while before photographing it, I haven't just had a second birthday!!

This gorgeous card is from Jacqui, she was so kind and sent me some Precious Moments images, thanks so much Jacqui, so appreciate them and love your pretty card!
and last but not least, my amazing blog candy! Only Debbie's fantastic Jungle stamps from Spiral Whisper! They stamp up a dream, I haven't got around to painting any of them yet but can't wait, so cute!

fab mail week

I am so lucky! I have had lovely mail every day this week, I feel very special and so look forward to the postie coming. How disappointing it will be when it all ends and she only brings bills!

My lovely SBS4 sister Chris sent me this gorgeous RAK and fabulous card. How fantastic are all these goodies? Thank you so much Chris, you made my day!

I have loads of birthday cards to share with you but my computer is on a go slow tonight so I will post them tomorrow and share them over the next few days!

I also have some blog candy to offer you but I want to add something more to it first so watch this space!

Gift from Camilla

My birthday came early last week, I received this fabulous gift in the mail from Camilla.

This is the most amazing gift bag so beautifully decorated i was absolutely thrilled with it and imagine how ecstatic I was to find some gorgeous bits and pieces inside!

I haven't shown you the back but it was just as stunning as the front, Camilla is one incredibly talented lady, if you haven't yet seen her blog you really must go and take a look at her fabulous creations.

I have some more gorgeous cards to share with you over the next few days!

Red Panda and RAK

One of the reasons for my internet absence over the weekend. We went off to see this gorgeous creature on saturday! It is a red panda, they are so cute and we were lucky to be there during feeding time! They live at the Highland Wildlife Park near Kingussie in Scotland so if you are ever near, it is so worth a visit. They do such fantastic work there!

I have tons more great photos but I will start up a new wildlife blog as soon as I get some time.

I got this fabulous RAK delivered over the weekend from Bernie of CraftyB!

Thank you so much Bernie, it is all fabulous stash, I love it all and can't wait to use it! The papers are gorgeous and I don't have any of them so you can imagine the oohs and ahhs when I started looking through them!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend, it was amazing that we in the Uk did so well with our Bank Holiday weather! It was so lovely to see the kids out in their summer clothes yesterday!

RAKs

Busy day again so no creating unfortunately. I do intend to make up for lost time very soon!

I received these gorgeous cards a little while ago so thought this a good time to share!

The one on the left is from Heather who sent me some fab images along with it, will be using them soon! The card on the right is from my Secret sister from SBS4 Seleise who also sent me the fabulous goodies below! I so enjoyed doing our secret sister swap as I had no clue for days who had sent my first set of goodies as clever Seleise had them posted from different states!

The sweet ATC is from Marlene who got me hooked on these gorgeous panduro images! I am sure you all know Marlene, her cards are so amazing!

Look at all the fab goodies I received in one parcel, the Hershey chocolates I have to say, went down a treat! Aren't the stamps so fantastic, I am looking forward to making them into something soon, already stamped out and ready to go! Just need to find the time to do the go!

Surprise post

I have been away for a few days so haven't been able to create anything this weekend but look at the gorgeous card that was waiting on my doormat when I got back this afternoon!

It was made by my SBS 4 sister Sparkle, she has more of these beautiful cards on her blog, go and check it out, you won't be disappointed! she also sent me a few Bella images and I absolutely love them, can't wait to play! thank you so much Sparkle!

I did make this card last week before my trip but didn't get a chance to post it. The stamp is Sugar Nellie 'Hamish in kilt', isn't he a cutie?

If you would like to win this stamp (a brand new one) pop on over to the

Cute Card Thursday challenge!

As I am short on time I won't leave a supplies list, if you have any questions, please just shout up.

I am hoping to catch up on visiting with you all later but still tackling the laundry mountain just now!

Hope you had a great weekend!
