I wanted to share the cards we made for Ben, plus tell you how the fundraiser did. I made sure to keep them simple because I was sure to be busy!
I called Ben's mom to verify his favorite colors and found that he likes yellow and black, so I created a couple cards that used them. This little card uses Refuge and Strength in crushed curry and basic black - I thought, given the situation, that this could be a very suitable card. What I didn't realize was how many of the kids would choose this one!
I looked through my stamps to find something 8th grade boy-ish, but had to settle on space ships and bugs! This one uses Pun fun in yoyo yellow and night of navy with our new modern label punch. I stamped the rockets several times so it looks like it is taking off! Fun!
Like I said, I pulled out our Bugs & kisses and paired it with Inspired by Nature to have grass. The sentiment actually says "Sending your worm wishes on your bug day," but didn't want the bottom half so I used a chocolate chip marker. This was my most popular card - kids and adults alike chose this one.
This last one uses our new Autumn splendor stamp set found in our Holiday mini brochure in elegant eggplant, ruby red and more mustard. Another simple card - I would have liked to use our scallop punch, but didn't think it was boy friendly! Instead I used our small oval punch with a sentiment from Teeny tiny wishes.
Later in the week I will share some of the cards (Julia in first grade made one of each!!!) and the container for them. What I couldn't believe was that, when I spoke with Peggy this morning, the total raised was at $5,400, and she was still expecting more donations to come through! So, if you participated, thank you so much! Things like this renew my faith in the world!
Wish shoe stampin' fun!
