It's the 6th day of my MAD Challenge. Come on and play along. All you have to do is send someone a card and Make A Difference in their life today. You can do it...send some happiness.
Day 5 of my MAD Challenge. This one's an oldie but I'm sure it will brighten the day of the friend I'm sending it to. :0) Join me in Making A Difference in someones life today!
Here's my day 4 MAD Challenge. I hope you get a chance to Make A Difference in someones life today.
Happy Wednesday. No I'm not MAD but I do have a MAD Challenge for you. Deann Oliver has challenged all of us paper crafters to use what we've made to Make A Difference! Make A Difference in someone's life by sending a handmade card or gift every day of the month of February. What a fantastic idea I thought to my self. I make hundreds of cards and have really been bad about sending them out. SOOOOO, I have chosen some of the cards I've made to send to some friends this month. I hope you are up to the challenge and do the same. Think of the smile you will put on someone's face when they receive your special greeting.
Thank you for coming to see me today. You have put a smile on my face by doing so. :0)
Have a wonderful day!
Lorraine
Here are the cards I sent out today. I sent out 3 because I missed the first two days of the month and wanted to catch up. Some of the cards you will see during my MAD Challenge may be cards you've already seen. I thought you might like to see them again. :0)
Here's a cute little card using our Sweet Treat Cups. It's a quick and easy card and would be great for a child to send to his or her friend.
I'm glad you took the time to stop by today.
Have a wonderful day!
Lorraine
Here's a cute little gift you could make for your child's class. Quick, easy and your child could help you. What a fun little project!
Hope you're having a great day. Thanks for stopping by.
