Caring Hearts Card Drive

Hi crafty friends!

Every year there is a 

Caring Hearts Card Drive

when handmade cards are collected and

then sent out to care facilities throughout the country.

Actually there are a few different countries involved in

this card drive, USA, Canada and Australia this year.

This year was it's 10th year!

I have participated in this card drive for several years,

made cards for the drive as well as delivering cards to

some homes in my area.

I have a few friends who also make cards for the 

drive each year and I thank them for their support.

Here are a few examples of the cards I made this year.

I hope some people will get joy from receiving 

my cards.

It's too late to participate in this year's card drive,

but if you are interested, I'm sure Vera will be 

having one again next year.

Keep an eye on her blog around September/October

for the information.  My friends and I often start our cards

early knowing that we want to send them in by early

November.

Thanks for stopping in to see what I've been up to,

I hope you're creating something beautiful.

Come again soon,

until then

Happy Crafting!

Birds

Hello crafting friends!

Today I have a card that was inspired by 

this post 

by Jennifer McGuire

After seeing Jennifer's post I decided that I needed to make a few cards

that I could use for sharing kindness.

This is one of those cards.

These little birds are from a set I found at ACMoore

in a clearance bin for only $1.00!

Aren't they adorable?

They are from Inkadinkado.

Unfortunately I can't find them anywhere that I can link to.

The banner is a die from

Simon Says Stamp

The sentiment is from

Titled Banner Sayings

also from Simon Says Stamp.

I colored the birds with my Lyra and Neo-Color II

Watercolor crayons

and fussy cut them.

The inside is blank so I can write or stamp a sentiment

when I decide who it is going to.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you'll be inspired to share some kindness today.

Come again soon.  

Until then,

Happy Crafting!
