A Teal Day!

Image

I know I've missed out a few prompts...though hope to go back to them.....but  decided to go for Prompt 9 today- using one colour plus Kraft.


I had chosen my pic (YAY! back to my comfort zone!) and reckoned that I wanted to use teal/turquoise shades...this is what I came up with



I used a sketch from SCRAP FRIENDZY, which was by Valerie Salmon, and apart from  the Bo Bunny 'dot' everything else was from my scrap box.....another YAY!

After getting the LO finished, I decided to take Boo for a walk as it looked as if we would get rain later. I checked the mail box as I passed, and was delighted to find this:


It had come all the way from Arizona, from my lovely bloggy friend DEB, who has been sending these out as a way to show support  to TEAM TEAL, who in turn are supporting Deb's mum, Marti, who has ovarian cancer. I am honoured to  be part of this team now, and send my love, hugs and prayers to Marti and the entire family today! 

Now I'm off to make some teal Happy Mail! 

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

  1. Alison! Thank you so much for this post. :o)!!! I just logged into Blogger and your post was at the very top - you had me a "A Teal Day." Thanks for your support for my mom and for helping to spread the word. It means so much to me, and I know my mom will really appreciate it too.

    Your layout is really pretty, and the photo of the teal band is awesome!!!

    Thanks again, dear one! xo

  15. I like the aqua color you chose to go with the kraft. I need to still do this #4 prompt, so hopefully I will get mine done this weekend. TFS!

  16. Now that is a perfect coincidence - or maybe (like I think we talked about before) it's another case of blogging psychic activity!

  18. Whenever Deb sends me a link to a blog, I'm always impressed with the talent out there in blogland! And you are no exception--beautiful layout and your color choice is perfect!

    And welcome to Team Teal! I so appreciate all the support from all of you. I can't help but believe if we all work together and join in this fight against ovarian cancer, that one day we'll see as much research and publicity as breast cancer gets. I think it's amazing the advances and cures that are available for breast cancer patients--God bless all those survivors! Now let's get on board and find a cure for ovarian!!! Thanks for your support!
