Card Drive Blog Candy

As many of you stampers know, Cammie lost her grandmother in 2008 to complications of Alzheimer’s disease. Since then she has been hosting a Card drive for Alzheimer in honor of her Grandmother.  I am sure many of you know someone that suffers from this terrible disease.

Well, this year her card Drive is in honor of the CAREGIVERS of Alzheimer patients. This card drive is an effort to thank the silent victims---those who work every day so that someone they love (and sometimes someone they don’t even know well) can survive another one.

 

 

If you want, you can just write your message on a sticky of a notecard, then they can reuse the card.

 

Cammie used her magical touch and got many stamp companies to donate in honor of her drive.  So much that the winner will receive an ESTIMATED $1,000 in prizes PLUS ALL THE AMAZING HANDMADE GIFTS AND CARDS!!!!!!  How cool is that??

 How can you enter you may ask?  Well for all the deets you will have to check out

Cammie's Heart to Heart Card Drive

As I would hate to leave out any information to this great blog candy Card Drive.

 

If you have a blog, please mention this blog candy on it and link THIS POST. The hope is to generate as many cards as we can for those who could use a lift. If you do not have a blog, that is fine...just mention it when you upload your card. If you cannot upload your card (because you do not know how) that is fine. Just tell someone about this!) *You do NOT have to subscribe or become a follower to participate. The object is just to spread the word about this project.

Please, only one entry per person

Party Hats

  I entered a Birthday Bake Off at our School Ladies Guild Meeting.  I tried to be creative when I came up with the idea.  It took a little longer then expected.. but I did like the turn out.  I did win at the Back off.

I made homemade carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. for the hats, I used sugar cones and frosted them with tinted frosting and tossed spinkles on them.

 

 

I'm Back

It is hard to believe it has been almost 6 months since I posted on here. I guess I have been extremely busy.  But I am going to post more often. 

I actually sat the other day, and asked myself.. Why don't I just cancel my blog?  So I told myself I will try to keep up with it and if not, I will probably cancel it.

I can't believe I never posted my photos from my last years Christmas ornament.  I am actually already trying to figure out what to do this year for my swap. 

  The photo on the wall is actually a picture of my grandparents that I shrunk and made it a photo above the fireplace.  This started out as one of the plastic clear cube photo holders.

Hoops for Heart

 

My niece Linsey Wiseman,who is a seventh grader at Mark Sheridan Academy in Chicago, is trying to raise funds so he can help the American Heart Association. Her goal is $300, but I know we can surpass that!!

 

 They call it Hoops for hearts.

 

Why is it important? You can help saves lives!

• When you do Hoops For Heart you can help other kids kids who have special hearts. Some kids have hearts that don’t work exactly right. In fact, every year about 36,000 kids are born with hearts that aren’t the way they should be (called a congenital heart defects)! These kids all need special treatments from doctors and medicines to get better. And they need your help too!

Clear Artistic Stamps Blog Hop

Hi there and welcome to the second Clear Artistic Stamps Blog Hop! I hope you are enjoying your little tour of ornaments that the design team has prepared for you!
I made quick ornament that can be used as a decoration on a package. Then the receiver can hang it on their tree.
 
 

How I made it:

I punched out 2 ornament sets on shimmer paper with the Big Shot Ornament template. I also punched out just the ornament out of chipboard to make it durable.

I stamped the adorable cardinal image from a Crimson Christmas and colored it with copics.  The shimmers in the paper really sparkle through the copics.  I then use the Happy Holidays Sentiment which is also included in that set.

I tied some red and green sheer ribbon on it.

Woodgraining........

When Samantha mentioned to us that the rumble would be with Woodgraining. I thought oh great, what will I do. So then I thought I would try making my own woodgrain paper. It looks so simple when I saw people online do it. I took a very dark yellow piece of CS, then ran a white ink pad over it, followed by a dark brown. It was so easy and amazing how it looked like wood.

Then for this card, I used Just a little Faith from the Inspirational Collection.

 

Here are the details of how to play along on Cottage Rumble 15:

Dress Up Time

Well here is another "Dressed Up" Egret. Look at all the fun you can have with just this one set of stamps.

Spooky Egret

 Do you know how they have those Garden Geese that you can dress up for all occasions? Well we have one, but have to keep it in the house so no one takes it. One of the disadvantages of the city life.  I had a Winnie the Pooh Easter Blow Up chained out in front.  Do you know they still took it?  Even worse they took it on Holy Thursday...pretty said.

Well Belinda Egret is just like one of creatures. You can dress it up for all occasions . Today I dressed it up as a Halloween Egret. You can purchase it here and it is also.........
