Vintage Leaves Easel Post it Note Holder

Posted on November 9, 2016 by Stamp with Jini

I love to make gifts and what could be more practical than a post it note holders – I don’t know about you, but I have a ton of these little pads laying around my work spaces at home. LOL! Who would have back in the 80’s thought these little pads would become so every day! Don’t you wish you had invented them? I digress – so any way without further adieu here it is

I really love the way these turned out – so much so I’m making them for the Bazaar I’m doing this Saturday. So why not stop by this Saturday at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Mission Bazaar in Gainesville and say hi? You can find more information about the event HERE on my Calendar of Events.

Want to see how they are made? I’ve made a little video tutorial for you not only showing how the holder is made but also how I created the wash of color on the focal point too!

Caring with Cards & the Ronald McDonald House

Last Saturday I was able to drop all those cards we’ve stamped together at my Caring with Cards events into the basket at the Atlanta On Stage event. Thanks to all those new and seasoned stampers who joined me in making a difference!

Almost 200 cards were stamped between April and the event. Wow!!! It was great to see the basket over flowing! These cards will be distributed to the Ronald McDonald Houses across the nation so that those families who are staying there can use them during their stay as a need arises.

Caring with Cards Event & bacon

Posted on December 27, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Let’s make a difference – why not stop in at the Clarkesville Library on Tuesday, December 30th and make a card?

I’ll look forward to seeing you then!

On a personal note – I’m hoping you had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was a bit quieter than normal since the kids are a little older now – but it is always wonderful to share in the Christmas spirit together.

Today I wanted to share with you a project that my son worked on for his girlfriend’s Christmas present. I thought he was pretty clever – since it was a gift of time, not something you could actually wrap.

Here is what he came up with.

The 6 pack of Coke – is for the World of Coke museum, and since when he was unloading his truck a couple fell out of the package he salvaged what was left and filled one with goldfish as a hint for the Atlanta Aquarium.

As I was getting ready to head out the door on the Monday before Christmas, he was in my classroom asking questions and stamping away making these cute little “tickets” to go along with the 6 pack.

And since his girlfriend loves bacon – he made this clever tag for the package. (He originally had seen bacon wrapping paper online, but thought the price was a little ridiculous for two sheets – so he came up with his own version. LOL Yes, seriously bacon gift wrap!) Here is the photo he texted me when he was done wrapping – I thought it was pretty clever too.

Customer Appreciation Day

My Customer Appreciation event is tomorrow if you haven’t given me your RSVP let me know today (email me at [email protected] or call me at 706 754-7124) so you can be included.

Holiday Mail for Heroes

Posted on December 3, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Late last month I spent an evening with a group of ladies from the Rachel Dorcas Circle at the United Methodist Church in Lawrenceville to create cards for the Holiday Mail for Heroes program. (This is one of the programs my Caring with Cards events support). We had a great time creating 49 cards in less than 90 minutes.

What great fellowship, laughter and fun – This was our second year doing this event and since everyone enjoyed it again we’ll be making it an annual event.

This group of ladies come together once a month to help serve their community. Their main focus at this time is their Prayer Blanket Ministry – where they sew fleece blankets for those who are dealing with cancer and other illnesses. Their prayer blankets provide comfort for those who are in need. So we made some special cards to be included with their prayer blankets too.

And with this addition of cards to the box – we’ve surpassed my goal of 100 cards for the year. We’ll be sending off 160 for our military men and women!

The Holiday Mail for Heroes Program is organized by the Red Cross. They support military families, military and veterans hospitals and provide emergency communications across the globe. And once a year, they deliver holiday cards to our veterans, military families and active-duty service members at hospitals and installations around the world.

The cards provide a little touch of home for our troops during the holiday season. Cards are collected and then distributed in December by the Red Cross. This years deadline for mailing is December 5th.

If this is something that you would like to do – There is still time to send a card or two.

There are just some general guidelines you’ll want to follow so that your cards are processed quickly and make it to our heroes.

Ensure that all cards are signed
Use generic salutations such as “Dear Service Member”. Cards addressed to specific individuals can not be delivered through this program.
Only cards are accepted – Do not include letters.
Do not include email or home addresses on the cards: the program is not meant to foster pen pal relationships.
Do not include inserts of any kind, including photos
Please do not use glitter as it can aggravate health issues of ill and injured warriors.
If you are mailing a large quantity of cards, please bundle them and place them in large mailing envelopes or flat rate boxes. Each card does not need it’s own envelope , as envelopes will be removed from all cards before distribution.

Mail your cards to:

Holiday Mail for Heroes

P.O. Box 13669

Atlanta, GA 30324

And if this is something that you’d like to do in the future please let me know – I’ll be happy to set up a time to help you and/or your group. (Or why not come to one of my Caring with Card Events – watch my calendar of events for more details on these free events.) Together we can make a difference!
