A VERY BIG THANK YOU!!


I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT
Can I just say...You are the 
best crafters and followers ever!!!

This month the I Feel the Love Project is feeling the love!!!  I have been scanning and scanning and scanning photos to try to keep the photo gallery up to date for you and I think I may have finally finished with everything that came in while I was gone.  There are some things that I simply cannot scan due to size.  We have received several amazing banners, which I believe the crafters have already posted on their blogs.  One came in from Germany and was hand sewn.  Danke Mel.

I made several cards for this project and I also made some cupcake toppers.  I want to show you the cupcake toppers.  Keep in mine they will look cuter when the cupcakes are frosted.  In this photo the cupcakes haven't been frosted yet.  I didn't realize we didn't have frosting.  (Click on photo to enlarge).

I made a variety of cute little aliens.

Here is a close up the cupcake toppers!  I used free coloring pages I found online to make these.  Once I found the ones I wanted, I transfered them into Photoshop to color.  After the were colored, they were printed and cut using the Cameo.  It was really fun to do.

Thank you again to all of you who contributed to this month's IFTL Project.  I am so appreciative of your love and support.  As this month closes, another month gets ready to  launch.  I know you will be moved by the next story.  I have been very inspired by our next recipient.  I am sure you will love her!!!

Come back soon!

Check out the mail!


I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT


Good morning.  After a couple of weeks on the road first going to camp and then flying across country to welcome my brother home from his deployment, I am finally home.  I have to say when I returned I did Feel the Love.  My followers did not disappoint.  You have all been very busy.  My post office box was so full that I had to use a Post Office bin to bring the mail home!
Funky Cards received so much mail that I haven't even had the chance to scan in the cards that aren't in the photo gallery already.  This month I may just have a final total for you of all the cards and decorations that were sent in.  All of the projects may not get scanned into the gallery by the end of the month.  I will see what I can do.

I don't have a count yet just from this mail, but it was a lot! Thank you so much for all of your support.  All I can say is that the Sheffield House is going to Feel the Love!!

I am really excited to share the August recipient with you in a few days.  I can't believe that July is already coming to an end. This month has flown by.  I don't even want to mention going back to school.  So, let's just say have a great day!!!

Put a Smile on a Child's Face


I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.  I can't believe it is already July!  If you missed it, the I Feel the Love Project launched the July project yesterday by announcing the Sheffield Place as the June recipient.



Sheffield Place opened its doors in February 1991 as a community response to the growing population of homeless mothers and their children in the Kansas City area. Since then, Sheffield Place has assisted more than 560 families in making the difficult journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency.


There are currently 25 kids staying with their mothers at Sheffield Place. They have all endured many struggled in their lives. The mothers required to be clean and free from any drugs before being accepted into Sheffield place. They must be working or looking for employment or in school. These moms are devoted to making a new start for themselves and their children.

Here is one of the birthday cards I made this month for the IFTL Project to send the Sheffield Place.  Once a month, a woman named Nikole will be planning a birthday party for the kids in the shelter.  The IFTL Project is making birthday cards, decorations, treat boxes, etc. to keep on hand for these parties!  Isn't that cool?

Here is how you can be a part of this project.  All you need to do is:

 Submit your card/s or decorations by July 31 to:
Madison Womack
(IFTL) Funky Cards
P.O. Box 1203
Atascadero, CA  93423
 Please share your project with everyone by linking it to my blog before you put it in the mail.

I Feel the Love- July 2012


I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT


Sheffield Place opened its doors in February 1991 as a community response to the growing population of homeless mothers and their children in the Kansas City area. Since then, Sheffield Place has assisted more than 560 families in making the difficult journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency.

The Director of Sheffield Place has asked that one of their volunteers throw a birthday party once a month for the kids at the shelter. It would be great if they had a stash of birthday cards and decorations to use for these occasions. I was thinking that we could really contribute in a big way! Let's show him just how much we care. Please consider joining me in making birthday cards for boys and girls and/or birthday decorations, such as a banner that can be reused. This homeless shelter would be very grateful to receive a big box of cards and decorations from us!

I can see it now. The face of the homeless child celebrating his or her birthday in the shelter and receiving a beautiful homemade card. His or her face will light up knowing that someone out there cares enough to send such a gift. That someone can be you! All you need to do is:

 Submit your card/s or decorations by July 31 to:
