I am so excited to share with you today's post. I love this beautiful stamp set in our Holiday Mini Catalog called Serene Snowflakes. The beautiful Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper is a perfect match with this stamp set. It is breathtaking!
This card I am sharing with you today is the card that we will be making for World Card Making Day on October 3, 2009. This is an annual event held nationwide by cardmakers in which they celebrate the art of cardmaking. This year "Add a Little Dazzle" will be hosting a community event at Walmart in Taos, New Mexico from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Our goal is to create 100 cards with matching envelopes to send our soldiers in time for the holidays. I have predesigned this card and will have all the supplies for the community to come and make this card. If the person making the card would like it sent to a particular soldier we will do that. We will also be collecting calling cards and donations for shipping of supply boxes to our soldiers. I am excited about this event as this will be our way to give back to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and say "thank you" for all you do for us. The VFW Men's and Ladies' Auxiliary Post 3259 will take all collected donated items, calling cards, and greeting cards and ship them in time for Christmas.
If you would like to help with a donation to help cover the costs of buying all the supplies for making these Christmas Cards or for Calling Cards for the soldiers to use on Christmas Day, you can click on the button below. Make sure to designate if it is for Christmas Card Supplies or Calling Cards. I will make sure the money goes where you choose. I will take pictures of the event and will be sure to post for all to see. Thank you in advance for helping in any way you can! Together we can make a difference this holiday season.
Help a Soldier on World Card Making Day
I have decided that what I will do for this week's contest is that anybody who makes a donation to help for World Cardmaking Day will be put into a drawing for my Snow Swirled Planner. On Saturday, September 26th I will randomly choose 5 winners. If you have already purchased the Snow Swirled Planner you can either choose another planner or wait for the release of the next Christmas Planner.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I look forward to hearing from you. Please make sure to leave a comment. I will post supplies used for this card tomorrow.
Have a dazzling day!
Hey, how great!! I'm a leader of our girls youth group and we just sent out 5 cards to the troops in Iraq. Thanks.
