Challenge #4: Birthday Cards
For challenge #4 I want to see some birthday cards! Yup… birthday cards! They can be any size, any shape, any colours or made for any age or gender…. make them fun!
Now since Catherine at Scrapbook and Cards Today has been SO extremely generous and donating some AWESOME prizes for our celebration here at CCAS, I’d like to help her out too!!! I’d like to add a BONUS challenge to this one…… I challenge you to create at least ONE birthday card and send it to Catherine for her to share with the kids who can’t be at home during their birthdays. You see, recently Catherine has been collecting birthday cards to give to local Children’s Hospitals. And I’d like to help her out by contributing to her cause!
So to be eligible for a BONUS randomly drawn prize from me, create a minimum of ONE birthday card to send, take a photo of the card with an addressed envelope to SCT and link/email your photo to the CCAS blog. If you create more than 4 cards for the cause, I will enter your name twice into my BONUS draw!
Here’s the address to send your card to:
Catherine Tachdjian,
c/o Scrapbook and Cards Today,
139 Church Street,
Markham, ON
L3P 2M2
Here’s a few birthday cards to inspire you…
So let’s see ‘em everyone!!!

I have my first Bday card ready! Do I just upload to my blog and leave the link to it here? I am a little confused on that part.

When your challenge is completed, you can either email the card to Tara or Jen, or you can provide a link to your blog.

I agree with so many other responders. What a wonderful cause. I have a couple of friends and we try to get together to do art forms of all kinds. We want to make at least 1 quilt and donate it to our local Children’s Hospital. We are wanting to try to do one every 6 months or so. Now, we just have to get back together again. Many things going on in all our lives that is making it hard right now to get together.
