Caring Hearts Blog Hop!
The holidays are just around the corner, filled with opportunities to celebrate with family and friends. But during this special season, many of the elderly who live in nursing homes may be alone and missing their families. Wouldn’t it be awesome to bring smiles to their faces and brighten their holidays? That’s what the Caring Hearts Card Drive is all about! This wonderful card drive was started by Vera Yates and Jennifer McGuire and is in its 5th year of collecting holiday cards to send to the elderly in nursing homes. Please join us in spreading cheer this holiday season with the Caring Hearts Card Drive! Click Here for all the details, including what to send and where to send it. Note: All cards must be received by November 28, 2014. For more details, please head to the blogs of Vera Yates or Jennifer McGuire.
The combination of Coral Reef ink and Seal Glass card stock together makes for one of my favorite soft color combos!
I’ve shot a quick video on how I made my card. Enjoy!
No hop is complete without prizes. Please let the readers know that they can leave comments until midnight CST Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014. Winners will be chosen randomly based on collective comments left on the designers’s blogs from both days of the hop. So be sure to leave loads of love for everyone!
