Sheffield Place

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great day! I am excited to share with you a project I have been working on for about a month now. At the beginning of May I noticed that one another crafty blog (Funky Cards) that there was a Mother's Day card drive for a Women and Children's shelter in Kansas City, Missouri called Sheffield Place. So I decided to send a card off to them. I included a short note about how I came across the card drive and wrote my email at the bottom--expecting nothing else-I mailed it off and forgot about it. Until a few days later I get an email from the Director of Programs, David, thanking me for my card! I was stunned. What a nice thing for him to do!! I emailed him back and asked a few questions about the Sheffield Place and volunteered to make some more cards for the families that live there.
This place does AMAZING things for women and children. Please take a minute to either friend them on Facebook (so you can be updated with all the programs they do!) or just read about them at Sheffield Place.

So I wanted to share with you what I created for them!!

I Feel The Love - Emily

Hello everybody! I wanted to share the card I sent to the I Feel The Love Project this month. Each month Madison, at Funky Cards hosts a card drive for a recipient who is in need of a smile or some love sent to them by way of a homemade card. This month all the cards will be sent to a young lady named Emily. She loves the color purple and kitty cats so-here is the card I created for Emily.

I used:

 Create a Critter Cartridge for the Cat

Jaded Blossom-Flag Die! (which I love!!!)

Trendy Twine

Pink By Design stamp

I really enjoy making cards for the I Feel the Love project each month because it allows me to use stamps or cuts that I wouldn't normally use. And you get to send someone a smile in the mail! :0)

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon and Happy Crafting!
