Cards For Kids!

Oh my goodness! I just looked at my last post and it was a very long time ago! I didn't realize I had been gone that long. So much for being better about posting... But I just took a bunch of pictures of some new projects, so I have lots to show you. I will spread it out over a few days!

But first, I want to tell you about a blog called "Cards For Kids". It was started by 2 of my friends, Jen and Essel. They have formed a non-profit organization to fund scholarships for kids in Africa. Jen has traveled to Africa and came home with a feeling that she wanted to do something to help the kids there. (You can read about her travels on her personal blog at http://jenbuilds.wordpress.com/) So she and Essel decided to create handmade cards and sell them, donating the profits to a scholarship fund. You can view their gallery and blog at http://www.cards4kids2009.com/. They have a gallery of a huge assortment of cards to purchase, and you can buy online.

I have to tell you, Jen and Essel are two of my favorite people, and this just solidifies how special they are! Please go check out their blog and help them make the scholarships a success!

Okay, here is an Easter project that we did at Stamp Camp this month...

It's a little basket made with the #2 Box on the Big Shot. You just cut off the lid, and it's now a basket! The handles are done with the Scallop Oval frame die. Too easy! The adorable chick is from the "A Good Egg" set - isn't he cute? And inside the basket is a little bag of pastel-colored jelly beans. This was a huge hit!
