This is my second post for the day, so if you'd like to check out my Prettie Wednesday post, then just scroll down!
If you are not already aware, there is a huge fundraising event happening right now and it's called Stampin' Out Alzheimers. A small donation (see link in the sidebar) gets you access to this week-long virtual stamping event, which has all sorts of challenges and chances to win some fabulous prizes. All proceeds from this event will go directly to the Alzheimer's Association. This fundraising event was the brain child of my friend and fellow Verve Diva, Jen Tapler, whose father, only 58 years old, is now moving into the later stages of the disease. You can read all about his story here.
I wanted to do what I could to help out so I made a donation and am now trying to participate in some of the wonderful challenges. I made this card for two of the challenges, Taylor Van Bruggen's Sketch challenge and Karen Motz and Jodi Collins' Two by Two challenge, to use two embellishments and the colors pink and brown. I may have cheated a bit (unintentionally) by adding the stitching, but I love the card anyway!!
If you would like to make a donation you can do so by clicking on the link at the top of my sidebar. It only takes a minute! I am in no way affiliated with this site, just trying to do my part to help make it successful!
I hope you have a great day!
