End of Blog Hop and Simon Says Challenge - Happy Mail !

Awww what a shame, we reached the end of the Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop :o( Such a shame because I really enjoyed myself.


Thank you all so much for visiting me and leaving me so many lovely comments. They really are all appreciated. I will tell you all about this week's Simon Says Challenge (which is a very special one) and then I will announce the winner of my blog candy - whooo hoooo !!


"This week our challenge for you is to make a card or project for a sick child. We all know how GREAT it feels to get happy mail for no reason, so imagine how a child who is ill would feel to get happy mail....I can just imagine the BIG GRIN on their little faces!! It will bring such happiness to them, so we thought we would support Post Pals and Make a Child Smile and get some cards to those children who could use a "hug"!!!


Today's featured guest designer is POPPET. Poppet is incredibly talented and an amazing woman! She is very familiar with Post Pals as 2 of her 3 children are members. On her blog, there is a video made by BBC, called Samara's story - it is very moving. If you have a minute, please watch it, but make sure you have a tissue handy!!!!"


Poppet has also told us on the blog what it means to receive happy mail and she has also very kindly made a card for this week's challenge.


This is the card I made for this week's challenge :

I have seen quite a few of these trifold cards around and really wanted to have a go at making one. I found a tutorial on this amazing blog

The DP's are some gorgeous SU papers given to me by my lovely, lovely friend Martine (thank's darlin) and they are called "Washington Apple". Martine has just become an SU demonstrator and she is offering some great incentives for buying your SU goodies through her - take a look at her blog to find out.

The image is a Penny Black image which I was given in a swap many moons ago and I thought it was ideal for this card. It has been coloured with ProMarkers.

The flowers I won in my lovely friend, Judy's blog candy a while back. They are gorgeous and I must ask her who makes them as I am using them a lot recently. The white flowers are Hero Arts Art flowers.

The buttons and charms are from my stash.

The little ticket is a Hero Arts clear stamp.

The dew drops are from Simon Says Stamp and the "Smile" and "Friends Forever" sentiments are from a Simon Says Stamp Executive stamp set called "Simply the Best Sentiments".

We hope that you can join us this week in our special challenge. The DT's cards are absolutely gorgeous, please hop over and go and have a look and leave them one of your lovely comments !
