Hope House Home for Boys

The cards that I sell here in Chapala and Ajijic, Mexico benefit the dental program for the boys at Hope House in the nearby village of Ixlahuacan. There are close to 30 boys at the home and many of them come to the home having received no dental treatment. If you live here at Lakeside and would like to order a quality, hand crafted card for a special occasion and help me contribute to this worthy cause, please e-mail me at bettyinchapala@yahoo.com Card price is 50 pesos; the entire sales price is donated to Hope House.

Flowers for Just Us Girls


Here is my card for the Just Us Girl Sketch Challenge 40. I won a free Isabella’s Skektchbook digi image the other day and had colored it up and put a scalloped border around it but it turned out to be too big for this sketch (the two scalloped borders were fighting!) Here is the sketch I needed to follow.


Anyway, to resume my story, I went to My Mind’s Eye Simply Delightful paper pack and cut out this large flower and leaves and then punched out the circle shaped flowers. My colors are Ruby Red, Certainly Celery and Whisper White. The sentiment along the bottom edge is Stampun’ Up Serene Spring. Stay tuned to see my Isabella’s card!
