October is Breast Cancer awareness month, It is amazing to see how many people are getting involved in different ways to raise funds, Increase awareness or showing their support to ladies going through treatment. I am doing a few things through October in aid the McGrath Foundation. One of the projects is making 6 x 6 pages for a book of inspirational quotes, sayings & feelings that will be displayed in the reception area of the Westmead Breast Cancer Clinic and the McGrath Foundation office waiting room. The idea is for the book to provide positive thoughts to the patients, their families & visitors who have been affected by Breast Cancer.

I NEED your help.

If you could spare the time to create a 6×6” layout that would be greatly appreciated. The colour scheme is trying to be kept in line with Think Pink October, whether it be the pale pink of the Breast Cancer Foundation ribbons or the cerise of the McGrath Foundation logo. In Stampin’ Up talk I am looking for Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red or Purely Pomegranate, But you don’t have to use Stampin’ Up! That is just to give you a better colour guide. They are due quite soon so you will need to work quickly, You have until Monday 12th October and email me for my mailing address {mail@tenealewilliams.com.au}.

I have not Scrapped in SO long it took me forever to make this layout but I am pretty happy with it, It was made with love and I guess that is important. The longest part of this page was finding the quote but I really love this one. Just in case you can’t read it in my photo:

There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.

Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.
-Mother Teresa

I made this card yesterday for Family Friends that I wanted to send a message of love and support to after a shock death within their Family over the weekend. I started making this card with a completely different end result in my mind but it ended up looking like a card I had make before for my Mum, But I still liked it and I knew that the recipient’s would appreciate the effort anyway.

This is only a short post today because I don’t really have a lot to say but I just want to remind everyone reading this to Cherish today and the one’s you love

I get asked all the time about how I package up my Cards that are very “bulky”, This card was a little “bulky” so I have made a thin envelope box to sit the card in. The lid is just a Cardstock flap, with ribbon keeping the flap closed.

Materials Used:
Stamps: Bird on a Branch and Fifth Avenue Floral
Ink: Jet Black StazOn and Baja Breeze
Cardstock: Watercolour, Very Vanilla and Baja Breeze
Printed Papers: Baja Breeze and Urban Oasis
Other: Blender Pen, Large Pearl from Pretties Kit, Large Flower Brad
Non-SU: Taffeta Ribbon in Cream.

I just wanted to pop in and clear the air: Last night I received a comment on my blog that was not very friendly. When the comment first came through I did not delete it, I was taken back but I also questioned myself if what she said was true, So I thought I should let her say what she wanted to say. After a few comments and emails from my very sweet blog readers today I have now deleted the comment.

I guess I just want everyone to know, I have this blog because I completely love Papercraft and Stamping, I really do enjoy sharing what I have made with you all in the same way I LOVE checking out everyone else’s blogs and seeing what they have done. I am my toughest critic and very hard on myself, I know when I have made something good but in the most part I just think what I have created is mediocre, and I am not just saying that. I think it is important that we all share what we love and inspire each other. SO I ask to please keep it Nice not just here but on all blogs… I am a little fragile at the moment so please handle with care

Just quickly popping in to wish ALL a MERRY Christmas today, I hope everyone is having a great day with Family and Friends….

ENJOY this wonderful day,

Cheers,

Teneale
