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.

A Case of Cheri's Card




Hi everyone! My card today is a CASE of Cheri's card that was posted yesterday on her blog Stamp'n Boomer. I thought her white on white card was so elegant and classy looking and I was totally inspired to do one of my own. I did want to add a little color, though, so that's were the dark blue mat comes in! At first I intended to stamp the sentiment in dark blue, but it takes so long to dry on the glossy paper (I always end up smearing the ink!) that I decided to emboss it in silver and add a few silver pearls.

Here's Cheri's beautiful card.....


Don't you just love those pearls that she added above the sentiment and to the scallops? Thanks for the inspiration, Cheri!
