Birthdays should always be special!


I just finished making this card for a special boy I have never and possibly will never meet. Why would I do this you ask? Back in November, I signed up through SU! to be a volunteer with Ronald McDonald House Charities. Our group of stampers is under the leadership of Barbara L. and what we do is go to the chapter house in Brookline to cook dinner for families who come from other states and countries to be with their children who are being treated at area children's hospitals. Please visit the link on the side to learn more about making the difference in the lives of children.



So getting back to what I started to say...I have only been able to participate in one night of cooking so far. I missed the last dinner and a little boy commented on how much he liked their applesauce. So Barbara L. thought he would get a kick out of all of us sending him birthday cards as a surprise! Of course the parents know about this since their boy will be getting 30-50 birthday cards from strangers. And we're all signing the card "From a member of Jamie's Applesauce Crew"! I wish I could be there to see his face light up when he gets all of his cards!
This card is an original by me and is made using all SU! supplies.
Stamps - All Mixed Up, It's Your Birthday, Spot On wheel
Ink - Basic black, Old Olive ink cartridge and markers
paper - Brilliant Blue, Gable Green, Yoyo Yellow and Confetti White
Accessories - silver cord, bold brights brads, ticket corner punch
