Sending Loving Thoughts

Pin It

You may have noticed that a new gadget was added

to the sidebar to keep count of the number of

handcrafted cards made for charity.

The two primary charities to which cards are donated are

Send Love Today

and

Operation Write Home.

Through Send Love Today each crafter is paired with

an individual fighting brain cancer and cards are sent

every week over a two month period.  A new pair is

assigned every two months.  It's a great way

to help directly influence someone's day.

Through Operation Write Home cards are sent in bulk

to a handler who sorts and organizes the cards and

then forwards them to active military personnel so that

our heroes can stay in touch with loved ones at home.



As you can see I'm about one-fourth of the way

to meeting my goal for the year.  I'm always

looking for sources of inspiration. 

CR84FN Color Challenge always provides a

source of color inspiration.

This week's color challenge: to use the colors

kraft, green and brown.



Here's what I came up with.

This card is similar to one I made last week (here),

but how different it looks with these colors.

I made another with less detail for Send Love Today.

Please consider joining one or both of these organizations, and put a smile on someone's face!
