Hello!

Do I ever do anything except apologise for not blogging!?

My days are all rolling into one at the moment and with various knitting, crochet and cross stitch projects on the go my paper stash is crying loneliness!

I've got a baby card to do this weekend so will hopefully have something to enter into the challenges.

I just wanted to pop along to tell you all I'm taking part in the Cancer Research Race for Life tomorrow with my Mum. This will be the 3rd time we have done it, it's always an emotional day but one filled with smiles as well as tears. As always my Mum is wearing my Auntie Maureen's name on her back sign and sadly this year I will be wearing my friend Kerry's name. Kerry was only 33 when she lost her long-fought battle with cancer in February and although there is now a bright beautiful star in the sky, life on earth is more than just a little bit dull without her.

I have added a sponsorship badge to my profile (top right), it would be amazing if some of you lovely people in blogland could sponsor me, every penny helps.

Back tomorrow, hugs Hayley xxx

A card at last!

Hi everyone

sorry it's been a while since I blogged a challenge card, I've just not had much spare time lately.

Never mind, here's my challenge entry today:

This is my nephew's birthday card - I'm a bit early as it's not his birthday until July but you know when you get an idea in your head and you just have to run with it?!

The image is a Molly Bloom clear stamp coloured with water colour pencils and the bunting is also a Molly Bloom but coloured with promarkers for a more intense shade. You can't see it very well but I have accented the star on his jumper and a couple of the flags with glossy accents.

I made the digital sentiment myself and found the little star charm in my newly cleared out stash!

I'm entering it into the following challenges:

Digital Tuesday: #111 seeing stars http://digitaltuesdaychallenge.blogspot.com/2011/05/challenge-111-seeing-stars.html

Papertake Weekly: bloom and grow (or Molly Bloom images) http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/2011/05/bloom-grow.html

Passion for Promarkers: #100 red, white, blue and a charm http://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/05/week-100-theme.html

All for now - byeeee! xxx
