For Paige...

I was reading through some blogs and stumbled across this heartbreaking story about a little girl named Paige. Paige is a sweet 13-year old who recently lost an arm in a boating accident. Erin, who is a neighbor of Paige's, is on a mission to have 100 cards sent to Paige through her blog. This is something that I couldn't pass on. Here is the card that I made for Paige:

I received this Magnolia image from Heidi who is in my blogging group, The Sweet Dreamers. I colored her using my Copics. The card base is SU's Chocolate Chip with Pumpkin Pie as the layers. The patterned paper is Cheeky by Making Memories, the flowers are from BoBunny and the gold brad is from Recollections. The grosgrain ribbon is Chocolate Chip from SU and the tangerine-colored stick-on gems are "Bling It" gems from Basic Grey. I hope that this little card will bring a smile to Paige's face. Those of you who would like to send Paige a card, you can send it to her at this address:

Paige Welch
Boston Children's Hospital
300 Longwood Ave.
Boston, MA 02115

If you do send Paige a card, make sure to link your blog post back to Erin's blog. She has some wonderful blog candy up for grabs. She has received some wonderful items from some big name companies! Deadline for blog candy entries is September 20th.

On a lighter note...check back Wednesday morning for some "Hump Day" fun!!
