Yeah Monday and it's The Pink Elephant Day!

This week, at The Pink Elephant, we have a sketch by the incredibly talented Lori. Wow this one was a super cool one to follow.

I decided to use my free digi from MFT that Kim very kindly gave everyone the chance to pick up over the weekend. MFT stamps are definitely one of 'My Favourite Things' so I was over the moon with this offer. Thank you so much Kim.

In Kim's words the only catch with the free digi was that they would ...

"like you to send a card made with your new stamp to someone you know that needs a lift. A friend who's blue, a charity organization you support, whatever makes you happy."

Hmmm, what a great idea. I've made my 'shoppers' card to cheer up a friend, who I know is feeling the 'winter's coming' blues. Inside the card I've added a 'Let's go shopping and cheer ourselves up' message. I know the card will brighten her day and we'll both have a lovely shopping trip to look forward to. Yeah two people cheered up in one go!!

Materials used:
  • MFT digi image
  • Promarkers
  • Purple 'stardust' type card
  • yellow paper
  • floral (Kanban?) card
  • brads from stash
  • flowers and scalloped border cut on Cricut machine

Wow Ann! what an unusual card and so "with it". Normally us old folk don't go much for these cards but this oldie really likes it. Well done on the precise and excellent work you do.

Sorry the posting is a bit late but it has been one of those days.

love and hugs

That's a fantastic idea Kim has. It's not very often you get a card just because. This is a great girly card, love it!
