Cammie's Grandmother recently passed away from Alzheimer's; she made a beautiful set called Whimsical Autumn to honor her, and is sending all proceeds to the Alzheimer's Association. Cammie's love and determination to make a difference is contagious, and now so many companies are helping her in her cause to end the terrible disease that is Alzheimer's. Companies including My Favorite Things Stamps, Papertrey Ink, and Scor-Pal have generously donated products that in total are worth over $1000. Cammie will be giving all of these products to one person in a random draw this Friday the 26th. To enter, please see her blog on this post.
I will not only be buying Cammie's stamp set, but will also be sending this card to the caregivers at the nursing home that Cammie's Grandmother lived in. If you would like to send them a card as well, here is the address:
To the Staff at the Artman Home
250 N. Bethlehem Pike
Ambler, PA 19002
I used the MFT Stamps set called Can Ya Dig It? because Cammie is on the MFT Design Team, and also because they donated so generously to the draw. I cut out the seed packets, colored them with Copic markers, and cut toothpicks to make little stakes in the ground. The toothpicks were also colored with Copics.
The vegetable paper is from BasicGrey's new collection Offbeat.
{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}} to Cammie and to all of those who are living with this disease.
