Cowboys and Turtles

Here is another card I created. I used Stamping Bella`s Turtle tots - cowboy. I used Close to My Heart paper the Sarsaparilla line.


I used a white card base and inked the edges with Barn Red ink by CTMH (Close to my Heart). The layers on the card start with a black base then blue patterned paper follwed up with a torn piece of the worded patterned paper.


This is the close up of the cowboy turtle. To cut the white circle that the turtle is stamped onto and the scalloped circle were cut using my spellbinders.

I coloured the background using blue chalk to make the clouds. Yellow chalk to create the sun. I used a bit more yellow to create a sunny effect around the clouds.



These are the copic markers I used to colour the image.

I love him - he looks awesome on this card.

CROP FOR THE CURE

My friend Veronica hosts a Crop for the Cure every year. This year we were raising money for Princess Margaret. Veronica hosted the event at the Woodbridge Memorial Arena & Pool. Every year this event gets bigger and better. The event started at 9am to 9pm. Here is everyone getting ready for the event.



Once everyone arrives we all sit in our seats and get ready. We had 40 people at the event. It was great. I got to see some people I haven`t seen in awhile. Vern had put down pink table covers that looked awesome.





I sat at table 2 with Carrie, Sherrie, Marg, Carol and Carmen. This is a picture of the center piece that Veronica created for every table. There were beautiful white roses mixed in with all the other flowers and greenery.

Carrie`s sister had driven all the way from London with her friend to be here for the crop. I haven`t seen her for awhile so it was great to spend some time with her and her friend.


For the event I baked some cupcakes and a cake. I made the ribbons out of colour flow icing. I had to leave them on wax paper to dry. It took two days!!



Here is Vern and I with the cupcakes that I made. They turned out awesome.

Of course you`ll notice that we are wearing our bras outside our clothes. Theresa, one of the other girls at the crop issued the challenge, and quite a few girls answered. It was great.



These are my crazy eyelashes - I LOVE THEM!!!



Here is Marg - Love the hair!!


and Rose and Cheryl!!!






and of course....



Here is myself, Barb and Veronica.

I had so much fun at the crop.

Just want to say thank you very much Veronica, and Rose. You did an amazing thing!!
