Creating for Charity

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by.  I have been doing lots of sorting and also prioritising - in amongst all of this I was very challenged by a story I saw and decided I needed to make some cards to donate to a Charity on a regular basis - straight away I know it had to be my local Ronald McDonald House and I am thrilled they are excited about having them regularly.


Needless to say I have a 'Mountain' of bits and pieces on my desk (LOL - my life story) and created 20 cards instantly from them - using card bases made up with papers I had cut - ready for an occasion just like this.  I have used a combination of my favourite products and a lot of those things that I didn't want to throw away but just keep gather - like die cuts I may have done 20 of and only used 10. embossed card fronts left over from kits, home made embellishments that are gathering - I love to fiddle with them every now and then for a change of pace - and I hate to waste pretty things! 


It is such a great feeling to make these and donate them - and even better as it is not a one of  -'Chicken Soup for the Soul'!  I have to say that it has not even made a dent in my bits and pieces -but give it time!!   I have more made but am yet to photograph - but will get onto as soon as possible!!

These cards linked to the following challenges:

  1. Linda, not only are the cards amazing but also amazing is your decision to bring joy and delight to the RMCH. I am really inspired by what you have done here. I don't know if I will create 230 cards but I will commit myself to creating at least 10 cards each month. I usually give money to RMCH but donating the cards as well would be a more direct outreach to the patients and their families. Congrats on getting it all done and thanks for sharing with us at 613 Avenue Create!
