Another bright cheery card which makes me think of Summer. This little surfer from the Greeting Farm looks cool in red and blue and of course I had to give him blond highlighted hair. I used my MS star border punch and added some red ribbon to the scrap of blue paper. The sentiment is cut from Cuttlebug embossed card, which I then files to show the white. A couple of X cut punched swirls and gems in the corner to finish.Challenges

The second thing to share with you is the story which has appeared in Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine out today. Aren't they great pictures of Paige. Unfortunately they insisted on a pic of me as well. You may remember Paige's terrible accident last year and Erin's request to send her cards. I thought it was such a lovely thing to do that I wrote to the magazine about it. (I've already been asked by one blogger friend for my autograph,lol!) The story didn't come out quite the way it was originally written as I wantd it to be about Paige and Erin rather than me but that's journalism for you.
When I read the reader's stories last year there was no mention of being sent anything. I am now stunned and rather embarrassed to find they will be sending me some goodies. I'll have to find a way to share some of these I think, maybe more candy. (For current candy see above.)
