Caring Hearts Cards

There is a wonderful charity called the Caring Hearts Card Drive.  Handmade Christmas cards are donated and distributed to various senior's residences across Canada, U.S.A. and Australia.

I had the honour of helping organize the 6,000 plus cards that came into one of the Canadian organizers.

I, myself, only donated 10 cards.  I'm hoping to do better next year.  Here's two examples.

Patterned paper: ???
Stamps: Stampin Up
