~ A Dual Challenge, A Cause, and A Sale ~
June 25th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Happy Thursday!
I have alot to say today, so grab your cuppa and sit down for a minute 🙂
Wow, where to begin! Â I think the most important thing we can do as human beings (Children of God, if you will), to support and lift up our fellow man/woman. Â Â Even if you have not a penny to your name, you can share an kind word. Â Â If you have two cents, you can give one. Â Well, you get the idea.
I read about Dawn’s story on Splitcoaststampers after Cindy (Mothermark) posted this thread:
I encourage you to follow the links and read Dawn’s story. Â Â I am so touched by her plight, that I am pleading with you to do what YOU can. Â Even if it is only sending a card of encouragement.
So, there were two challenges that I jumped on today. Â One was the Ways To Use it Challenge (to use Bold and Bright colors) and Jessica’s (There She Goes) challenge to make a shaped card. Â Â This is for you, Dawn.
I was a little skeered at making a shaped card.  I have enough trouble getting a regular card right…hahaha.   But, with Jessica’s encouragement, I gave it a shot.   First I die cut the card base out of GP White with my largest Nesties pinked edge circle.  Then I die cut the next layer in the same size as the base so that there would be no ‘flat edge’ where it hidges.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: Â There She Goes‘Â Rain and Sunshine mini set
Colors: Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, GP White, Piggiepapers dps
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, copics
Accessories: candy dots, ribbon, hole punch, pinked circle nesties, dimensionals

THERE THEY GO!

better get over there and get you some before they are all gone! Â When they are
