This card was made using an old SU! Holiday Mini Bundle. I can't remember the name of the bundle off the top of my head, but as a fallen Stampin' Up! demonstrator I no longer feel obligated to be completely precise about the product name. :) Besides, it is no longer available so the name doesn't really matter. Anyway, I made this card as a hopeful for a masculine card occasion. Well, call it Christmas spirit or Holiday cheer, I found a use for it...I sent it to a person who I don't even know. This holiday season, this total stranger was diagnosed with CLL, an incurable form of cancer that a lot of older people succumb to. Prognosis can be good with proper treatment and follow-up care...but no one wants to find out about cancer during the holiday season ~ or at any other time of the year for that matter, but especially not for the holidays.I was invited to take part in the card shower for this gentleman, and I gladly accepted ~ what kind hearted stamper could really say no...could you? Anyway, I also try to do the card showers I see in the weekly circular about people turning 90 or long blessed marriages...you know the ones I am talking about...the ones that make you go AWWEEE (how cute).
So here is another challenge for you...take part in a shower. I know it is off season but you never know when you hope for it to rain at your house.
Thanks for stopping and happy stamping!
Roseanne
(BTW...good luck with the Christmas cards).
