Hi... welcome to the Caring Hearts Card Drive Blog Hop.   You should have come from Dawn's blog... so welcome.  The drive organised by Vera is to collect Thanksgiving/Christmas/Holiday Cards for people in nursing homes /care centres and assisted living.  Vera needs to have received the cards by November 15th to ensure distribution to the various centres/homes.

This is such a worthwhile cause and Vera doesn't mind who makes the cards - it can be scout groups, children, church groups etc.

Just remember -

• All cards need to have a message in it.  Please also sign your name and where you are from.  On the card envelope, write your name on the top left corner.  Also, please don't seal the envelope, as we will address the card when we deliver them to the nursing homes. Due to privacy policy, the nursing homes or the care center cannot share the resident's name to public.
• Please stick to just cards. 
• All cards need to be mailed to the following address:

                        Vera Yates
                        Caring Hearts Card Drive
                        P.O Box 16321
                        Sugar Land, TX 77496 

• In each package, PLEASE include a piece of paper with your name, address, email address and how many cards you sent.  This helps us in keeping track for prizes!  For each card you send, you will get a chance.  So the more cards you send, the better your chances.

If you stumbled in mid hop.... go here to start Vera - Caring Hearts Card Drive

I hope you get a chance to participate in this wonderful card drive.  Hop on over to Giovana's next. Thanks so much for hopping by.

Mami Doodles - new release and new challenge

 Happy Friday to everyone.  Welcome to another fun release from Elisa over on Mami Doodles.

 

Aren't these just beautiful?  and she has even more images on the blog.  This week instead of setting a Mami Doodles challenge Elisa is very kindly supporting DT member Vera in her Caring Hearts Card Drive.  You can read more about it here.

Supplies:  Mami Doodles FREEBIE digi image - MDoo Angel, 

Papermania pp - A Christmas Carol, Papermana textured grey cardstock, 

Papermania sheer white ribbon, Spellbinders Stars machine stitching, 

Ranger Stickles - Diamond, copics and pop dots.

Here is one of the card's I created for the Card Drive.  I used one of Elisa's images from last December on this card - he is called MDoo Angel and is available as a freebie here. 

My card using Elisa's new image - Letter to santa.  Despite the sunshine here this morning I found this a difficult card to photograph.

I hope you get a chance to participate in the Caring Hearts Card Drive - off to post my cards now to Vera (she needs to receive them by November 15th).   Lots of great prizes up for grabs - be sure to check out full details here.


Hope you have a fabulous day and great weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by.
