Simon Says Stamp DT - Maddy's Card Drive & New Challenge

Hello peeps,

Thank you so much for your lovely comments about Maddy's card drive, I will get round to thanking you personally, I've been struggling a bit with typing so I've been quietly hopping away for a couple of days. 

I'm loving seeing people's gorgeous cards with the new Magnolia's, I've been naughty & bought most of them but I'm trying really hard to resist using them yet as I have so many uninked stamps from the Summer Memories collection & I'm not ready for Autumn yet anyway, I want Summer soooo much.

Today I have a picture heavy post as I have two cards to share as it's new challenge day at

SIMON SAYS STAMP

& this week we have a 

SKETCH CHALLENGE

&

 we are also appealing for cards for 

MADDY'S CARD DRIVE

If you haven't seen Maddy's appeal yet please hop over to the SIMON SAYS STAMP blog where you will find all the details & a little bit about Maddy & her family.

My lovely teamies and I are showcasing My Favourite Things stamps &/or dies on our cards this week.

I have made two cards for this challenge following Dawny's sketch which are for Maddy's card drive & are now on their way to America. One is for Maddy who is about to start a 6 month course of chemotheraphy and the other is for her sister Melanie who is going to be Maddy's stem cell donor, they are both such brave young ladies.
