One of my favorite things about crafting blogs is BLOG CANDY!!! I love getting inspiration from so many people and so many different points of view. When I was browsing last night, I came across two great blogs with some AWESOME candy. And the best news is that in order to win, you have to make a card for a great cause.
First is Jen's blog I{heart}2stamp. She is giving away over $450 worth of goodies and has an awesome new blog design. Her rules can be found here. She is having everyone make cards for the Dallas Baptist University's International Student Services Department. Go check it out, and make sure you bookmark her blog, it's full of inspiration!!! Here is my card for the students.
I know it's probably familiar to some of you, but I finally broke open my CTMH From Me to You kit from two years ago! I love the simplicity of the kit! I thought missing you would be appropriate for the students to send a card back home!
My second chance at blog candy is from Lesa's blog, Punkydoodle Papers. I just came across her blog last night and it looks like so much fun. She's doing a month long challenge for Cards for a Cause. Her Week One Cause is Valentine Cards for the Elderly. Her rules can be found here. I used a non-traditional Valentine, more of an all purpose, thinking of you card that is bright and cheery. I love the fact that she's bringing these cards to some nursing homes and assisted livings. Working in the business, I know how lonely and sad some of the residents can get. I will start donating some of my extra "stash" cards to the nursing home where I work as well. They may seem outdated to me, but if they'll brighten someone's day, it's well worth the smiles!!! My card uses the same kit as above! I love this kit!
Thanks to Jenn and Lesa for a chance to win. Join in and try for yourself.
