Good morning! Today is an exciting day as it marks the first challenge of a new challenge blog...
Crafty Friends Challenge Blog! A few changes were made to the former Forever Friends Challenge Blog, hence the new name. Please stop by to check things out; there will be weekly challenges...we do hope you will play along!
For our first challenge, our sponsor is MilkCoffee. I am using an adorable image called "Tiffany swimming in the beach wearing bikini"...thank you to MilkCoffee!
Tiffany is colored with pencils...as you can see, she has remembered her sunscreen! I hope you will too! I've used some very old papers from my stash...I thought they were a perfect fit for the image...and done a bit of sponging on the edges. I embellished with a die cut sentiment/ribbon, and a die cut flower embellished with glitter.

On a serious note.... My Mother was recently diagnosed with melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer; this meant surgery ASAP! I'm not talking a "little biopsy", I'm talking a "wide excision"...a large, deep incision...and a large scar to go with it. She was lucky it was caught early, so no lymph nodes are involved. Her diagnosis also means full body checks every 3 months with the Dermatologist, plus notifying her Optometrist and Gynecologist. Yep, you read that right...Optometrist and Gynecologist! I'm a nurse and I didn't know it would involve all that.... It is important that her siblings and children be screened as well. I have my appointment scheduled.... So, please protect yourself...use your sunscreen!
Thanks for stopping by; have a relaxing weekend!
