This card was created for a young girl whose name is Madison.  Here is an excerpt from Cardz TV:
Madison, was in remission from Leukemia! Their family was over joyed that such a young girl had beat this vicious cancer (she's only 6 years old). However, just last week, their family was just hit with the most horrific news........Madison's cancer has returned.

RAK Creations

Stampin' with La'Diva

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to share with you what I did over the weekend.  Here are two of recent creations:



Here is a photo of  RAK I had to with a Digital Stamp by Tiddy Inks.  I used my Big Shot to cut the Top Note Die from Stampin' Up and used red cardstock to create the box (see below).  The ribbon was purchased at Michael's.  I also used copics markers to color the elephant.  I used Glossy Accents to cover the balloons.  I placed some "bling" to the eyes.  I also used Photoscape to add wording on the elephant.  I used a oval nestability to cut out the Ellie the elephant.

This is how the box looks when it is opened.  I added some hard candy on the inside.  Emmmm.... 

Here is a close-up

Another shot.

 
This is the second RAK I did for a Flower Swap.  I purchased a pack of notepads from a dollar store.  I removed the wire from the notepad and after completion, I replaced it with some metallic elastic chording.  My mom created the flower pen.  I absolutely love those and they write so well. 

I stamped every page in this notepad with this flower image.

I purchased the paper at Joann Fabrics.  I took a circle punch and punched out some of the circles in the patter and covered them with Glossy Accents.  Afterwards, I popped them on the notepad, after covering it with pattern paper and added some bling ot it.  I also used a circle punch to cut out my "You're So Special" from a Hero Arts birthday stamp set.  I did some faux stitching and added some bling to that.

Thanks for viewing and if you have any questions, please let me know. 

Thanks for comin' by!

Can you say Hero Arts? I love love love Hero Arts! So on that note, stay tuned and I will do a YouTube of the drawing.

Theme: Back to School

This is the post-it note holder I created for a RAK I did for Pieces of Me.


This is how the inside looks.  I have "back to school" sticker themes on the
