Hopping and Springing into Spring


I've got a couple of cards for you today, using Frog Hop and my new Poppers die.

This first card is for a little boy named Larry, who was recently diagnosed with pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Laurie Winterton emailed some of us to let us know that she's collecting cards for Larry; he has nearly 4 years of treatment ahead of him, but the prognosis for his type of leukemia is good. If anyone is interested in sending him cards, I've included the mailing address below. You can read more about him on his blog, here. Consistent with rules for other card drives, I would like to recommend that there be no get well cards, or mention of anything that reminds him of being sick. Please send cards to:

Larry R.
9772 E Paseo Del Tornasol
Tucson, AZ 85747
Laurie said her goal was 100 cards...and I think we can get way more than that! What do you think?

Leap for the Sky

I thought a frog with big googlie eyes might be fun for a little boy.  And, a couple more frogs chasing flies to pop out at him when he opens up the card:




My next frog card is for this month's St. Luke's Charity Card Challenge Spring into Spring.  This card will be donated to raise money for their hospice.

Celebrate Your Day

Here is a peek at the inside:




Thanks for Visiting
