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!
Looking for another fun craft to take on this week? Join us on noon CT on Friday for a Kids Virtual Craft!
I enjoy making cards. It’s fun to do.
Can’t wait to take part!!! Kathy Donovan
Can you only use the paper packs listed, or any CM paper?
Diane R – ANY CM paper!! Have fun!
My family had several health issues before the virus struck. When it did my oldest became a “frontline” worker and my youngest chose to return to her college campus as an “essential” student worker. I have been extremely stressed. My doctor suggested doing something I enjoyed doing. It had been a long time since I sat down to scrap.
I have to say, the time spent working on my card was wonderful! I was, for a little while, able to put all my worries aside.
Thank you, CM!!!
I’d love to do this!! Can’t wait!
Looking forward to it!
