We are hoping this card challenge will encourage all our followers to share a random act (or two) of kindness. Whether that means sending a card to a loved one you can’t currently visit or sending a little note to your local clinics, grocery stores, trucking companies, mail carriers, etc., let’s come together to spread a little kindness with our cards!
Is there no one talking? We expected a live stream crop.
Can we use any paper?
Thank you for providing some inspiration to play and create during the Quarantine!
More cards please, I just love ideas for cards
I would very much like to have joined you on this virtual crop, but it didn’t appear in my in box until after 3:30 ET. Could you please post it in the morning? I know I would be doing it on my own time, but it would have been nice to do it when planned. Thanks you. This is a lovely idea especially when we’re needing something special and productive to do.

Oops, I forgot to check in…can I still see the challenges? I know I’m too late to participate, but I like to see what the challenges were, sometimes I go back & use those sketches.
I didn’t until last on the 8th. If you can post 2 days in advance. This way if it’s delivered late we have day to prepare.
