Welcome to Funky Cards

I am totally feeling the love!!

Katie and Jesse once again have made two cards to share with us for the "I Feel the Love Project."  These two young ladies go to a small school with very limited supplies.  They designed and created these cards all by themselves.  I just LOVE the cards girls.  Awesome job!!  Can't wait to see more from you.  You ROCK:)

Katie

Jesse

I have never been a Girl Scout or a Brownie but from what I am learning these young ladies work on service projects each month.  I group of Brownies decided that for their service project for the month of December they would make cards for the "I Feel the Love Project."  How awesome are they?  They made over 40 cards to send to the kids at The Pediatric Oncology Unit at Kaiser Hospital.

 You young ladies are so sweet!!  I appreciate you so much!

So focused:)  I love that!!

Great job girls!!

This just made my day:)  Thank you again girls and Jen for all that you did to make the kids smile and feel the love this Christmas.

Today's theme is all about the Candy Cane.  I designed and created this Christmas card using a real candy cane:)

This card was purposely made this card a bit bigger so that it could sit on our dining room table next to a center piece I made.  I have no intentions of sending it in the mail so I wasn't worried about its size and having to fit it into an envelope.  It is a 6" x 6" square card.  The blue card stock was cut from the Sophie Cricut cartridge.  Instead of using it for its intended use, it was cut out using the blackout feature and all the fine details were left out.

I love using blue with red for Christmas cards.  I don't think there are any rules that say you have to use green.  What do you think?  I like the way these two colors look together.

I am totally feeling the Love!!

Welcome to Funky Cards

I am totally feeling the love!!

How often do you go to the mail box and receive mail from Africa and Australia in the same day?

A couple of weeks ago I received cards from Ms. Susan from Africa and Ms. Carla from Australia on the same day.  I was super excited.  

Ms. Susan's card traveled over 9600 miles and arrived in time for Ethan's 2nd birthday!

Carla's cards traveled over 7800 miles and are part of the November/December "I Feel the Love Project."

I Feel The Love November/December

In loving memory of Korrine Lannie Croghan

4/18/94 - 10/27/08

The Pediatric Oncology Unit at Kaiser Hospital (Oakland, CA)

 will be the recipient of our handcrafted CHRISTMAS cards for the months of November/December.

Susan and Carla, thank you so much for being a part of the "I Feel the Love Project."  You are amazing women.  I feel so blessed to have women from other parts of the world reach out and join us!  You can't imagine how high I jumped when I saw the mail!!!  

There are now over 4o loving, caring, and compassionate crafters who have been a part of this project.  I am excited to watch it grow.  Anyone can participate.  You don't have to have a Cricut.  Your cards just have to be handmade.  So if you are part of a community group, service group, girl scout group... and are looking for a monthly project, please consider joining us:)

Thank you so much for stopping by today.
