Cancer Research UK - Coast To Coast Walk

Hi everyone!
Thank you for all your lovely comments on my last card!

This is just a quick post, as I wanted to let you know about my friend, Megan, who is going to be walking a Coast to Coast walk to raise money for Cancer Research UK with her dad. She is fourteen, the same age as me.

She will be walking from St. Bee's Head in Cumbria on the edge of the Irish Sea, all the way to Robin Hood's Bay on the North East Coast, 192 miles in total!
She and her dad's goal is to reach £1000 in sponsor money and I just wanted to let you know that if you would like to sponsor her, however little you can donate would be much appreciated, and the more sponsors they receive, the closer they will get to reaching their goal. Even as little as a pound can make a huge difference.

Click here if you would like to sponsor Megan and her dad or if you want to find out more.
Thanks so much for anyone who sponsors, I know Megan will be so pleased and grateful!

Bye for now, have a lovely week!
Love, Georgia xx

Card For British Troops

Hello! Just a quick post tonight to show you this card I made for an appeal for my local British army regiment, where the radio station, Signal One, are asking that people fill a jiffy bag with little luxuries that the troops really miss out on when they are away fighting, such as books and magazines and toiletries, and you can put a card in it if you want to as well, so me and my mum are both making up our own jiffy bags of stuff to send out to the British troops.


Materials:
Image: Alota
Sentiment: From My Stash
Papers: K & Co. - Hopskotch
Colouring: Pro Markers
Ribbon: From My Stash
Cardstock: Bazzil
Iced Gems: From My Stash


OK, well I'd better go then - it's just a very quick post tonight, as it's late and I want to go to bed, but I just thought I'd post this and maybe I can do a blog hop tomorrow!

I've only got tomorrow and then I break up from school for the summer, woo hoo! :)

Thanks so much for looking and have a lovely week!

Getting Crafty - But No Cards...

Hi there! I thought I'd show you a couple of things I've been making that aren't to do with cards.

At school, now I'm in year nine, every Thursday afternoon, me and the rest of my year get to have the afternoon off-timetable to do other activities of our choice, so I chose to do a textiles workshop where we got to make bags!

So, over the last six or seven weeks, I've been making this bag and it's been brilliant! It's a lovely atmosphere too, as it's all girls and we get to have the radio on in the background while we work.

I used applique on my bag (butterfly and flowers) and learnt how to sew buttons.

Here are a few pictures of my bag:

And finally, I wanted to quickly show you this cake I've made tonight. My mum's having a Breast Cancer Awareness Day at work tomorrow, and she asked if I fancied making a cake for her to sell, to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Here it is!

Thanks for looking and enjoy the remainder of the week! :)

Love, Georgia xxx
