HEROES.....

Morning from a very sunny Mablethorpe.....

.

Todays post has been inspired by my other half and his collegues who are embarking on a 24 hr climb of 3 peaks. The challenge is to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in just 24 hrs!!! To climb all 3 is a feat in itself but in 24 hrs is just amazing.

.

I wanted to show my support for the lads who are all doing this to raise money for http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk. Each of the lads has faced or faces the prospect of being sent to a war zone and know only too well how things could turn out. Raising funds to look after the guys and girls who in risking their lives for our country, come back injured and needing so much support is so important to the lads.

.

I wanted to show my support and so came up with this Good Luck card. I sponged the mountains using a torn paper mask and then covered this up to sponge the sky. I then used our trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the letters. Colours used are Night of Navy, Real Red and Baja Breeeze. These colours match the HELP for HEROES colours almost perfectly.

.

Thank you for looking and any messages of support for the lads will be passed on.

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE

Hop on over to my place........

Hello and welcome to my fairly new(ish) blog. This is my very first blog-hop and what a better way to start. I had such a hard time deciding what to use as I love so much of what is in the mini. . You will have joined me here from the very talented http://kraftybiker.blogspot.com/. I just know you will love her designs. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek last week as Sandra is my SU mummy and I went to stay for a few days so we could craft till the wee hours with all the new goodies from the fab mini. . My cards use Plane and Simple, which I think may well be my favourite set so far. I was soooooooo happy to see more 'male' orientated sets in the new mini as I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to struggling with mens cards. . I used Not Quite Navy and Marina Mist for this card and sponged a sky full of clouds to set the Bi-plane off. For my next card using Plane and Simple. I teemed it with Always Artichoke, Old Olive and Sahara Sand. A band of Early Espresso striped grosgrain gives the card that little extra something. . I just love this set and being a true blue(RAF not football) it will come in soooooo handy and could well be my favourite set from the MINI.

Well I hope you enjoyed your little stop by my blog and keep hopping with http://sarastamper.blogspot.com/ who I'm sure will have something lovely to give us all inspiration.
