WHO'S IN????

Card Challenge Starts Monday

Each year the Huntsman Cancer Institute treats 3500 new cancer patients. 1 out of 3 women and 1out of 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. The journey from diagnosis to remission can be a long tough battle! Each of us will be affected at some time in our lives by cancer, if we have not already.

As paper crafter's we have the opportunity to spread some sunshine at the Huntsman Cancer Institute this fall. Many of the patients spend extended time in the Hospital and miss important dates with their loved ones. Our cards will give them the opportunity to share messages with loved ones while undergoing treatment. The Huntsman Cancer Institute is looking for cards in the following themes:

Birthday (adult and child)

Thank You

Just Because

They would also LOVE lot's or card kits. This would allow the children undergoing treatment to be able to use the power of healing arts to put together their own cards. Card Kits should be in a ziplock bag with all the supplies (glue sticks not needed) for the patient to assemble their own card.

Last spring we donated over 3000 cards to Operation Write Home. This Fall, I would love to provide even more cards between Huntsman Cancer Institute and Operation Write Home. Let's get started!!

Monday we will be kicking off our first card challenge! Everyone who sends in cards or card kits will receive a free gift from Doodle Dragon Studios designed specifically for our Care With Cards Fall Show Project!

Start card making and check-in Monday morning for all the details!!



I completed one card to donate as the finished product. I took a picture
of it to put in each of the kits.



Care With Cards - New Sponsor & Contests Coming!

If we are going to beat our Spring show totals of 3000 cards, we had better start crafting!! If you need info on the upcoming September Show "Care with Cards" Theme, check out this post for all the details!! I am really excited to craft for The Huntsman Cancer Institute and Operation Write Home, 2 great organizations!!

Care with Cards has a new sponsor!! Doodle Dragon Studios! Dustin over at Doodle Dragon is AMAZING!! His art work is so fantastic for cards (and really all sorts of projects). I am working on a few card kits right now for the Cancer Institute using Dustin's art work. I will share them later this week. The best part about his images is that you can use them over and over again and they don't take hardly any room to store on your computer, not to mention they are so CUTE!!

Lot's of card contests are coming your way between now and show time! I hope I am not the only one with a few card kits and finished cards because we have some great prizes coming your way!!

Make sure to follow us on Pinterest, lot's of card inspiration there!
