Today's card is going to a special cause that's dear to my heart. Jen Tapler is having a huge blog candy give-away {over $250 worth of stampin' goodies, including all of Verve's latest release sets!} to collect cards for a charity auction to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association. The association provides valuable information, education and support for Alzheimer's patients and their families, as well as funding research to find a cure for this frightening disease. Jen's dad has been rapidly progressing through the stages of Alzheimer's, and having watched those stages first-hand with my great-grandma as a young child, and more recently my grandfather, my heart breaks for her and the grandfather this disease is cheating her son out of. So, please make a card to donate for a good cause! All the challenge details can be found --> HERE <--. You can win some FABULOUS prizes, but more importantly - you can make a DIFFERENCE!
My card for today uses this week's Viva la Verve! sketch The {twist} for the week is CAS (clean and simple), which for the purposes of this challenge, meant limiting to one embellishment. I was doing great until, without thinking, I threw on some rhinestones to bling up the Grateful Elegance flowers. So just pretend I used Stickles instead and didn't totally cheat!!! LOL Anyhow, the sketch is awesome and the card was a lot of fun to make, especially since I got to use some of my new favorite digi papers - the Strawberry Cafe [Revised] Collection from Sugarplum Paperie. Oh, and the sentiment is from Circular Sayings and the hardware from the SU! pewter Hodgepodge Hardware kit. Remember, you can win the April Verve release by participating in all the Viva la Verve! sketches for March. But hurry... your entries need to be in by this Thursday night!
