Last weekend I hosted two card making sessions, to support the great Stampin’ Up! Christmas Cheer Challenge. What is this “Challenge”, I hear you ask? Well, Stampin’ Up! was on a mission to make 10,000 Christmas cards for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). RMHC provides free “home away from home” accommodation for families with children in hospital.
For my sessions, I asked each attendee to make 10 greetings cards – utilising 5 different designs – and to donate half of them to the “Challenge”. A good time was had by all and, in total, 108 cards were made, a lot of tea was drunk, and a fair few biscuits were eaten along the way (it is written somewhere that a card making army marches on its stomach – not too sure about that, but I can confirm that crafting is thirsty work!). The pictures included here hopefully give a flavour of the days’ activities and the fruits of our labours! Whoever thought that being part of a production line could be this much fun? And all for a great cause, too. A huge thank you to everyone who took part.
I'm pleased to report that the final card count for the Christmas Card Challenge was 17,778! What a whopping great number of cards donated to RMHC! I'm so pleased to have been part of this event.
Happy crafting!
