Make a difference while having fun

Tag It is the Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set. Each year Stampin* Up! has a stamp set designed as the Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set. To date, Stampin' Up! have donated over US$1 million to RMHC.
I'm so happy that Australia now gets to be part of Stampin' Up!'s sponsorship of this charity.  $3 from each set sold will be donated to our Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Ronald McDonald House provides a ‘home-away-from-home’ for families of children with serious illness. These families often have to spend  birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries and so on living in the house. So I would like to help by making packs of cards for the house families to use.

Would you like to help? 

I am inviting everyone to come and make cards with me. I will supply all the card and embellishments. All I ask of you is to bring glue. Stay as long as you like.

What's in it for me?
Being surrounded by a group of ladies willing to spare some time out of their busy lives to help a very worthy cause.

What's in it for you?
Getting  a warm and fuzzy feeling for helping support RMHC, with the bonus of getting card classes for free.

Would you like to buy the Tag It Stamp set?
Head over to my online shop or call me and place an order.

I haven't set a date for this event yet as I would like to know numbers first. Please let me know if you are interested in coming. I am open to day, night or weekends.

Christmas comes late or is that early?

My late Christmas in July class is done and dusted. What fun. I love my classes and recon it is great therapy for anyone feeling a bit blah. 

Amongst all the silliness we still managed to make 12 cards. Three of Four designs. This first one uses the Mosaic Madness bundle, a new favourite of mine. The next two use the Merry and Type stamp set another favourite.

This last card used the Tag It stamp set. Every set that is sold  Stampin* Up! donates $3.00 to our Ronald MacDonald House.

Mens business made for womens fun...

Bet that title had you guessing! Just me trying to be a bit clever, not sure if it worked but ah well, let me explain.
My dear husband was being installed in his club and part of that installation was for his wife to provide the activities for the morning. To me the best activity when you don't know everyone very well is card making.

I decided to use the Tag It stamp set as Stampin* Up! donate $3.00 to our Ronald McDonald House for every stamp set sold. My thought was that each person make two cards. They keep one and then give me back the other so that I can pack them up and give them to Ronald McDonald House. Everyone thought this was a great idea and some even donated both their cards. This has made me think about having a few sessions of card making and also donating them to Ronald McDonald House in the future, so stay tuned.

 

Also I decided to make Thank You cards for everyone that attended. As it was a Tuxedo event I thought a card with a Tux on the front would be perfect. I made 90, and everyone loved them.
