Of course you do!  Before we tell you how to win, here's a bit about the event itself.  We Stamp For Lara is an online stamping event, and it's in support of raising funds for Madonna Dunn's daughter, Lara May, who needs some essential equipment to make her life a little bit easier.  You can read more about Lara here.

Thankyou all so much for supporting Anxiety and Depression Awareness Month with your gorgeous challenge entries!  Find out more at beyondblue.org.au.  We've really enjoyed using our challenges to highlight some fantastic causes this month.  If you know of a cause that you think we could support by helping to raise awareness, send us an email at just-add-ink@hotmail.com and we'll see what we can do!

There were so many stunning entries this week!  We know all the recipients of those RAKs will be thrilled!  Here are our Top Picks...

Thankyou so much to everyone who has participated in our Just Add Blue challenge for Anxiety and Depression Awareness Month. There's a wealth of information at beyondblue.org.au, it really is a wonderful resource.

On to our beautiful entries so far...



If you haven't already entered, the cut-off time is Wednesday October 20th midnight EST and you can submit your entries HERE.

 Hi Inkers,

Last week we highlighted Pink Ribbon Day coming up on the 25th October. This entire month is also important for another reason - Anxiety and Depression Awareness Month.

Over a million people in Australia live with depression. Over two million have an anxiety disorder. With the right treatment, most people recover. 

It's easy to help raise awareness. Sometimes the simplest acts have the greatest impact - just talking openly about anxiety and depression helps reduce the stigma. 

beyondblue Anxiety and Depression Awareness Month provides an opportunity for workplaces, community groups and individuals to take part in activities to raise awareness of anxiety and depression, and help reduce the associated stigma.

Find out more at beyondblue.org.au



Everyone loves to know that they've been thought of, so we thought we'd have an additional part to this week's challenge, too. It's completely optional, and we're not expecting you to tell us all about it in your entry post (but you can if you want!).

A Random Act of Kindness (RAK) is when you do something nice for someone for no particular reason, so it's not for their birthday, or Christmas etc. So our add-on challenge to you is to send/give the card you create for Just Add Blue to someone you care about...


It doesn't have to be someone who's suffering depression, or someone who's struggling. It could be someone who makes you laugh, or someone you've been out of touch with for a while. Maybe it's someone who'd just like your card! Whoever! The idea is to make your card, and then send it!
