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.

Chocolate and Blue

This card was made for the Fab N Funky Challenge #58, which is a color challenge. Colors are Chocolate and Blue. I've used shades of blue, Brocade Blue and Bordering Blue from SU. Browns are Chocolate Chip and Close to Cocoa.
The layout that I have used comes from Annabelle Stamps Bling Sketch Challenge, ABSC034; their February sketch.
The stamps are from Annabelle Stamps too; the set is called All Things Grow. The butterfly was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink on Brocade Blue card stock and cut out. Tools used are Circle Nesties, Ribbon Tags Trio and a Cuttlebug embossing folder, Forest Branches. Also used a scrap of dp, a bit of chocolate ribbon and six little clear rhinestones.
I was quite pleased with this card and want to send it to the Minister of Preschool at my church. The "All things grow with love" sentiment reminds me of her calling to help our preschoolers grow up in the knowledge that God loves them very much.
Stay warm all,
Betty

All Things Grow


I was so excited to see my envelope in the mailbox from Annabelle Stamps. It had come all the way from Australia and I was right there to welcome it to its new home!
The set I had ordered is All Things Grow and you can see it here on the right. Aren't those grasses and butterflies gorgeous???? Nature at its best!

I was eager to use this lovely set and Annabelle Stamps had just posted the February Sketch -- how convenient! I only used two of the stamps in this set for my card so I've got lots more to try out -- look out for more to come!
