Santa makes a "Special" delivery

Santa delivers a "Special" package

At work we had a "Pink Day" that everyone who wore pink showed their support to a special lady who is undergoing Chemo for breast cancer. Everyone would donate money for her to help with expenses. Here is Santa making a Special delivery to her. She has no knowledge this is coming, nor who has donated this money. What a special gift this was for me to see all the support and caring people come together for this special lady.

Thank you Santa, I Believe

Jitterbuggin Challenge # 10 Black and White with one more color

Here is my take on the Jitterbuggin Challenge # 10 Black and White with one more color. The first thing I thought of was a wedding. I don't' think there's anything more classier than Black and White. I worked and worked on this even went to the store to get paper, and look for ideas, still couldn't get the right touch. I wanted to give up and do something else, but I was too far into this to back out. So I went for it. My other color is silver, only because of the wedding rings. There is so much glitter on this card, it really sparkles. Thanks for looking. Mylene
