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.

New Challenge Spot -- Seize the Birthday


Here's another attempt to get my blog up and going again! I haven't played in any challenges for a while and decided to start with a brand new challenge spot -- Seize the Birthday. They provided a sketch to follow and the only other requirement was to make it a "girly" birthday card. I guess you probably figured out from the name of the challenge is that all the cards will be birthday cards!

Here's their first sketch.....

I've been making birthday cards for our church family lately and I thought that this would be a perfect challenge spot to help me keep it up. Check it out -- this week's winner will receive two digital stamps from Whimsy and Stars Studio!

Hey Betty, what a pretty card and I too am excited to find this blog. I have my sketch wrote down but haven't started my card. So glad to see you with a card and online. I haven't been on too much myself lately but hope to get back in the swing of things. Loved the citrus tree, isn't that something.
Happy New Year and until next time....
