MARCH CHALLENGE

We announced our new Challenge for March on Sunday.  If you missed the post, you'll find it HERE.  You'll also find all the basics below.  We hope you'll join us!!

March Challege and Card Drive

Wow!  We haven't tallied up all the cards or chosen our winner for February yet.  However, we are amazed and thankful to all who participated. We have collected so many cards for the elderly in our community who are confined to Nursing Homes.  I'm sure your cards will bring them joy!  We will announce the winner next week.

For March we'd like to challenge you to create uplifting, cheerful, and inspirational cards for the homeless community in Seattle.  We will collect your cards and deliver them to Facing Homelessness, an amazing organization dedicated to changing the way we see the homeless.  If you haven't heard of them, I encourage you to visit their website HERE. 

We'll be giving away one $30 gift certificate to our online store.  You'll receive one entry into the giveaway for each card you donate.  Please remember to include your name and email address on a slip of paper for each card you bring in.  This will be your entry into our drawing.

Again, this month's cards should be focused on cheer and thoughtfulness (ie wishing you sunshine, thinking of you, you're amazing, happy day, etc.)  If you are unsure of an appropriate sentiment, simply leave the card blank.

Chocolate Bunny from Poppy Stamps

Today we're sharing a couple Spring and Easter cards for our February Card Drive.  This month we're collecting Spring and Easter cards for the elderly people in nursing homes, here in our community.  If you'd like to participate, you can find more information HERE.

Today we decided to use the Hapstead Oval Frame die from Poppy Stamps to frame the adorable Chocolate Bunny from Poppy Stamps.  We also used it to create a beautiful Spring card last week.  If you missed it, you can find it HERE.

We used the Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the bunny and the Hampstead Oval Frame.  The butterflies were colored with Copic markers.   We stamped the background with the Myriad Dot background stamp from MFT Stamps.

It's hard to see in the image below, but the butterflies are embellished with some Stardust Stickles.

Here's another version of the same card.  Instead of using the Hampstead Oval Frame, we used the Framed Tags- Madison Avenue from Mama Elephant.  I love that die!!!  We added a bow to the bunny using the Bows Die from Paper Smooches.
