Toy's Haven

Good morning, friends!

Lots to share today, so let’s get right to it.   Today marks the beginning of National Breast Cancer Awareness month.   As many of you already know, this is a issue near and dear to my heart.   I lost my mother to breast cancer 18 years ago.   Of her six sisters, five of them have been touched by breast cancer and one of those has been in her battle for over eight years now.

On to more craftier things!   A few weeks back, I received an e-mail from none other than THE Anna Wight (Sassy & Sweet notes), illustrator for Whipper Snapper Designs.   She extended to me an invitation to be a featured designer for her new sets in September/October.   Of course I jumped on it!   I adore Anna’s designs.   They are so me!

Today I am going to share with you one card from each of the three sets I am working with.  There are four sets released all together.

Since I led off with the breast cancer month reminder, I think it’s only fitting that I start with this set, BEE-lieve in a Cure.

I snicker every time I see that sentiment.   Save the BOO*BEES!!

And finally, from the new Happy Haunting set:

I probably had way too much fun with this chicken dressed as a mummy.   He’s too cute!!   I drew a little candy corn shape and traced it over and over along a snap line to create the candy corn border.  Even the little chicks nose is colored like candy corn :).
