Card Drive for Kids


Happy Friday night!  Tonight I am sharing four cards that I created for some very special children.  
Did you know that October is Spina Bifida month?  Tonight we are honoring 4 very special children.  Rebekah, Madison, Logan and Tanner.  

You should have arrived at my blog from my awesome pal Kay Simmon's beautiful blog. If not, please head back to StampTV and start from the beginning as you don't want to miss the beautiful cards my fellow Center Stage Designers have to share with you. 

for Rebekah
for Madison
for Logan
for Tanner
I created each of my cards using the amazing Stars set illustrated by Tami Mayberry for Gina K. Designs.  I love how this set can be used for so many different things.  It's limits are endless!

Here is what you can do:

  • Create a fun, uplifting card or cards for one or all the kids listed below (you can click on their names to read more about each of them). The card can be anything cheery, encouraging, supportive, etc.  Please DO NOT send sorry, get well or anything like that. Remember, we want to cheer them up. The kids:
    • Madison: 2 years old
    • Logan: 2 years old. (turning 3 on October 17th!!)
    • Tanner: 2 years old (turning 3 on December 25)
    • Rebekah: 9 years old
  • All cards need to have a message in it for the child/family.  Please also sign your name and where you are from.  On the card envelope, write the name of the child.  Please, don't seal the envelope, as the parents might want to read the cards before the kids see them.
  • Cards must be received by October 31st to be eligible for the drawing.
  • Mail your card(s) to Giovana along with a piece of paper with your name, address, e-mail address and blog (if you have one). This will help a lot to contact the winner a lot faster!:

  7. What perfect cards for the kids. I especially love the pink ones but that may be because I've recently become very partial to pink.
