It is Friday here and time to get together with my sistah's - my Twisted Sisters on SCS, that is. This week the challenge is to make a card in pink as it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month....I have made this card in pinks but not your traditional pinks and have added black as it is also for another very special Cause...
- a little girl called Jaimie who at 11 years old was critically injured in a home invasion that left her mother dead and Jaimie fighting for her life. As I ready Jaimie's story I was deeply touched and could not help but look at my 11 year old daughter and have my heart go out to Jaimie - she is not a 'girlie girl' we have been told, but loves black and HOT pink! You can find details of Jaimie's story and details if you would like to send her a card, along with many others: http://spreadthelove-forjaimie.blogspot.com/
I used the Layers of Color elephant from the Polka Dot Parade, he is enough to bring a smile to anyones face!! He is coloured with SU Chalks/Pastels - you can find a tutorial for chalking here: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blog...-tutorial.html
Thank you for coming by today, it has been lovely to take time out from the projects I have been making for up and coming events (hint: New Release Party, Blog Hops) and make a card for something so meaningful! I hope you day has is a good one and you are with the people you love - let them know what they mean to you - it is so important

Wonderful card and that elephant is really fun. Thanks for that sweet email and for sharing more information on Jamie - she is a seriously worthy cause and one that has really touched my heart as well. I have thought of her all day - off to make my card for her! TFS!
