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.

Sunshine and Flowers



I have two cards to share with you today, my friends! Hoping this first one will bring a little sunshine into your day. The sketch is courtesy of Card Patterns and the color combo comes from Just us Girls. Image is from Sassy Cheryl's (if you haven't joined her group over at Papercraft Planet, you need to -- she gives out the cutest freebies for each 100 members!) and last but not least, I was able to make the sun rays thanks to a tutorial by my friend Geri. I think they all worked together to make a sweet and lovely card that makes me feel happy just to look at it!

My second card is a CASE from a tutorial at the Operation Write Home blog. I heat embossed the flourish from Stampin' Up's Baroque Motifs in gold and cut out the vellum flowers with a Sizzix Embosslit from SU and attached with gold brads. I used two different ribbon tags Nestabilities and blue and gold ribbon to attach to the card. I've become a follower of the OWH blog and my goal is to send a batch of cards to them several times this year.

Hope you have a day filled with sunshine!
