Yes, there is more to paper-crafting then just making things for family and friends. I don't know if its been pure
coincidence or not, but the last few months there is someone close to me that has been stricken with cancer. And a few weeks ago I was reading "The Globe"(that is our local military paper here) and there happened to be a young man featured with his two young girls inside. Well, it wasn't just anybody, but a young man whom I went to HS with back in Oklahoma. He had recently passed away from cancer and there was a tree planting memorial in his honor. Also, for my friends like Mark Fry who have a Mother-in-Law and Sis-in-Law both battling the disease together. Cancer does not just affect its victims, but also their loved ones who are their caregivers. I decided to join my local chapter of Relay For Life here in
Onslow County. It's my turn to
GIVE BACK!
I made a few items to be used for fundraising events. If your interested in the "Cancer is so limited" stamp, you can purchase it
HERE!
A few yummy chocolate boxes! These were a BIG hit!
Cards for the ladies AND gents...
lovin' that polka dot card:)
This was the second batch of chocolate boxes I did! I made them a little simpler for mass production. I'm proud to say ALL 66 boxes SOLD and 25% of the proceeds will be going toward cancer research!!
Little mix with my PTI-Woodgrains. I try not to over do it with the ribbons, embellishments etc. on my manly cards. I love the simplicity of these two cards.
This one's for you HONEY! He never even looks at my blog anyway...he probably thinks I belong to a crafting cult!! I didn't like how the snap stamps looked, so I added the brads in between to help break up the sentiment.
I'm off to finish up some Halloween goodie bags for Gracie. We just need to decide what we are going to fill them with! Happy crafting.
