Susan Raihala of Simplicity has a heartbreaking story on her blog about a little boy undergoing cancer treatment. She has organized a card drive to shower Jonah with love this Christmas.
Jonah is only 4 years old, so probably can't read yet. I thought he might enjoy a shaker card with Santa inside a snow globe. I assume that he enjoys candy, so I used some brightly colored papers with images of candy.
I stamped a map inside, so he could see where this card came from.
Please see Susan's blog post here if you would like to read more or perhaps even participate in the card drive.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Winter Snow Globe, Road Trip
Paper: White, Scarlet Jewel, AC Merrymint, Clear
Ink: Scarlet Jewel, Memento Tuxedo Black
Dies: Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangles, On the Diagonal, Stitched Sentiment Flag, Winter Snow Globe
Other: Copics, Martha Stewart Tinsel Glitter
Thanks for Visiting
