One of my friends, her mom was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and has started undergoing chemo to get rid of it all. Some of her friends have decided to do a silent auction to raise money to help her in paying for all the treatments that are so costly. Unfortunately, I won't be able to be there, but I figured I could do the next best thing and donate something for the auction.
I made a set of 8 4x4 cards. They're fairly plain and simple, but since I was doing 8 of them, that's exactly what I wanted! :) The base is kraft with a layer of Turning A New Leaf on top. For once in my life, I thought outside the box with my stamps and stamped the leaf image from Beyond Basic Borders on FF #8 die and then stamped the frame over top of it in the darker of the tea dye duo. I stamped the thank you in scarlet jewel.
I figured that just making the cards wasn't enough. I had a nugget tin sitting around, so I looked to see what else I could do...
Magnets and clippies to match the cards! I normally put small magnets on the back of my clippies, but they don't fit in the tin if I do, so these are just plain clippies.
I hope whomever winds up with this set enjoys them and they spend a lot to help offset some of the chemo costs!!
