Some snippet cards:
I was running low on cards for special requests for cancer patients having
an especially rough time (through Chemo Angels) and I found this set
of colored note cards and decided they would be bright and cheery for
this purpose.
I pulled out 6x6 paper pads that are almost used up
and grabbed snippets from them to match. I then got scraps from
my shimmer zip lock bag and die cut the ivory and white lacy pieces
with a die from Spellbinders and stamped it with a sentiment from
the same set. I then went through my white and scraps, and then my
colored scraps to finish the remaining cards.
Every January I try to use up more from my room. I really need to clear out
and donate quite a bit. I do have one large pile of papers to donate
and hopefully more to follow.
A few fun challenges:

Your stash of caring cards is very impressive and I admire your drive to use and/or donate your stash. I keep telling myself I'll do that but it's hard to get started! I really like all these cards but the purple set is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a heart of gold, my sweet friend. These beautiful, upbeat greetings will surely lift many spirits.
