This is especially personal to me this year as my Grandma is sitting in a nursing home at this very minute. And my faithful and loving Grandpa sits with her, every day, even though she cannot respond to him. He's my hero. So for them, for me, this is personal! I'm so thankful that I can be a part of this this year!
For all the details on the card drive, you can visit Vera Yate's blog.
I created a holiday card for this drive using lots of Lil' Inker Designs goodies.
I started by making the chalkboard background and then I diecut the Joy word die from the mat. I stamped some snowflakes from the Winter Greetings Stamp Set & the Jolly & Joyful stamp sets. The holly leaves were die cut with the Holly Jolly dies. And last,l I tied a little piece of Platinum Shimmer Twine from the Twinery to the front.
What do you say? Do you like to craft? Do your kids like to craft? Why not send some cards for this drive and be a blessing to someone who needs some love this Holiday season!
