Project Soldier Cards

Sending Cards to our Soldiers

Cards for A Cause

Today I was challenged by Scrapbook Hoarders Anonymous, to create cards for our soldiers.  What a great challenge right?  I was quick to sign up and very eager to get started!  The challenge was actually for Christmas Cards, and although I detoured from the beaten path as I often do, fear not...Christmas Cards I shall make! :) Alas, we create art from the heart from where our inspirations take us to and that's just what I did.  

I have felt lately VERY inspired by all of the rich fall color that surrounds us now here in Missouri and so that is what I ran with :)  I also wanted to get in on a Mojo Monday Challenge (which I am ashamed to say I had never done yet) so I went to them for a little more Inspiration and this Is what I came up with.

I used basic paper for my card base because I wanted specifically the overlapping look that I created here with the scalloped edge.  I used paper from the GRACE collection which is now retired but you can find similar paper on my website HERE

I tied my ribbon around the front of the card and placed over it Half of a dimensional element.  I love these things!  They are white chipboard and you can ink them up to your hearts desire!  Love it! And the final touch was some Sunflower stickers that I just happened to have.......they worked great here I think!

I want to make some cards for soldiers too!

No Problem!  We would love for everyone else to get involved in this fun project!  It boosts moral for our troops, and it's fun too!  Such a good Cause!  Getting involved is EASY and I am even offering a give away for this project!  For every soldier card that you make and post on my facebook page, you will get 1 entry into the Project Soldier Giveaway!  5 cards = 5 entries :) You get the point, right?  The drawing will be for a FREE awesome card making kit!  See the kit and all the details on my giveaway page!

How do I get involved?

Card Shower Challenge !!!

Card Shower Challenge! 

Recently an old friend of mine had surgery.  It was a simple surgery but unfortunately she had some complications that have left her feeling under the weather and in a lot of pain :(  So I decided that I would make her a special card.....knowing that it would not fix everything, but maybe it would bring her a little ray of sunshine on a gloomy day :)

Then I  thought....whats better then one card?  2 Cards!  or 3 Cards......and so this challenge was born! LOL

I challenge all of you to shower her with your hand crafted get well cards!  For every card Sent you will be entered into a drawing for the Grand prize which is a basket of card making goodies!

Also every person who sends at least one card will get a small thank you gift from me! :)

To Enter all you have to do is create your card and post a picture of it on my facebook page!  I will then email you her address so that you can send it to her!  Simple Right?  Plus we will be sending someone an envelope of happiness!

Here is the card that I have made and I am sending out tomorrow!

This little card was giving me a little bit of trouble this morning....I got a creative block and had to have some help from some of you to get through it! LOL  Thanks for that! 

I used paper from the Aspen Level 2 Paper Pack which is actually now retired....but if you like these colors the Wonderland Pack is very similar!  You can find that at

The Little Scrap Corner's CTMH site!

The card is 6 x 3 and is embellished with a paper piecing from Little Scraps of Heaven.  I colored her in with pastels and "Glitzed" up her cloud and the borders with Glitz Gel also available on my website!  Then I finished this little cutie off with some sparkles and we are ready to go!

I  hope some of you decide to enter my shower challenge

 and I can't wait to see what you come up with! 

Until then Have a Happy Scrappy Day!
