Apart from thinking that it is a fantastic cause to support, it is also a creative way for me to use up more of my crafting supplies. 

Paper - all A4 by Anna Griffin, which came in the Plaid decoupage kit.  Borders outlined with marker to give them some definition.  Stamped message by Woodware - I love that script!

Added a big yellow flower here - not so sure about that, but sometimes it just has to do!  Greeting by Craftwork Cards. 

May Arts ribbon that I've had also for a number of years and another Craftwork Cards sentiment. 

I had a Kraft frame in my supplies, along with this masculine ribbon and one of these plaques left over from the beautiful Life's Journey paper which came out many years ago.  I felt like making something a little different, so the "bon voyage" theme it became!

I cut out the matt using my Tim Holtz movers and shapers label die and outlined it with cinnamon Stickles.  The sentiment was coloured with a Promarker. 

I find my circle punches are a crafting essential and are probably the most used equipment I own.
