Final Set of Cards for Little Hearts

Today I am sharing Filmore who is one of the darling birds from the Wilson Birds digital set from Sparkle N Sprinkle (now retired company). This is the last set of cards I have made for the Cards for Little Hearts Drive.


Along with some pattern papers I also used the die cut Hi from Paper Smooches again. That was a great investment when I bought that set as it came in so handy for these cards. I knew right away when it had a heart for the dot on the "i" that it would work well. And again I used the pre-colored image.

If you want to send off a few cards to the kids check out the sidebar at the very top and see the information for the website where you can find out all the details. Any amount of cards would be very much appreciated.

The cards got sent off in the mail today. Our rural mail carrier is very accommodating and I give him a blank check made out to Postmaster and then he fills in the amount and mails it for me. That way I don't have to run into town with it. Of course, I give the post office lots of business so he is used to my heavy traffic with sending things. And, it helps that he is a classmate and good friend of mine too.

Well, we got below zero for temperatures this morning and we will only have single digits for highs the way it sounded. I hope they are wrong though. Even a 10 above would be nice. I hope you are having weather that pleases you and if cold stay warm and if too hot stay cool! And, keep your prayers going for all in Australia with those wild fires. That is so devastating!

Thanks for the visit and have a great rest of the week. I don't know if I will be back posting or not this week. Depends on what goes on around here. So in the meantime, take care.

God bless,
Verna

Super cute cards! I love the little heart detail to dot the i! That is a good arrangement with your mail carrier to pay for the shipping.

Wow! Congratulations on your winning at the Season's Givings. That is grand.

You deserve it after mailing off all those cards to Card's For Little Hearts. It was interesting to read about the mail carrier being your friend and being able to fill in the amount that is owed. I love that.

Brrr on your weather. My teeth are thinking about chattering just hearing that you're going to be in the single digits. [Bunny]

Oh my gosh I totally forgot about Filmore! I need to find him and use him - isn't he just the cutest? You've really done some fantastic cards for the kids Verna! How awesome is that story about your postman!

I love all these sweet and cute cards you have made Verna - you have a real ministry there. those birds are the perfect image for the cards
I am comfortably warm here (in New Zealand) at the moment - next week it's getting hotter, if the weather does what is forecast!
