More Blessings Arrive

Good afternoon everyone.  

I am having a great first couple of weeks at college.  It is still hard to believe how far I have come on my journey with many of you.  From starting high school to starting college and I am sure there is still much more to come.  Thank you so much to all of you who have continued to follow me for the past several years.

Today the I Feel the Love Project received a set of 14 birthday cards from Ms. Clarissa to send to  SAFEHOME!

Thank you so much!  They are so bright and cheery and I am sure they will be loved by those who receive them.

 

If you would like to be a part of this month's project, please create an unsigned birthday card or cards for women and/or children.  We will be sending these unsigned birthday cards to SAFEHOME so that they can keep them on hand for their shelter residents.  When the need arises, the women and children will have access to free handcrafted birthday cards.  Who doesn't want to be a part of this?  I know I will be making several cards this month.  Please join us.  You will be so happy you did.

All you need to do is:

Submit your hand crafted card/s by August 31st to:

Birthday Cards for a Cause

If you haven't heard already, the I feel the Love Project is sending unsigned birthday cards to SAFEHOME for the month of August.  

SAFEHOME is an organization that provides support for survivors of domestic violence in Kansas City, Kansas.  These birthday cards will be kept on hand for those staying at the SAFEHOME women's shelter to use when their moms, brothers or sisters have a birthday.  They will be free and we feel a blessing from our crafting community.  To learn more about this month's project click HERE.  I do hope you will join us for this special project. 

My card included the IFTL Birthday Bear DS from Papercraftingworld.com (PCW). Ms. Melin is offering this DS for just 99¢. 

I decided to alter the image just a bit.  I used Photoshop to erase the strings from the balloon.  I then refilled the brown ink in the arms.  Of course you can see that I changed all the colors of the balloons so that they would match the paper that I selected for my special card.
 

By editing this digi stamp in photoshop, you can see how it completely changes the look. If you click on the photo you can see that I even added little polka dots to the balloons.  Painting/editing in Photoshop is really fun.  I left the strings off all together because I wanted to use real wire for my card.

There are other ways to also make the digi stamp pop a bit.  As you can see, the edges of the stamp are inked a bit darker than the paper.  The cute little bear also has rosy inked cheeks and a bow in HER hair!!  This digi stamp is paired with the "It's your birthday" sentiment from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge.  This card is ready to be sent to the shelter.  I will be making more this month and like I said before, I hope you will as well.  Spread the word!  You know how much I love spreading the love one card at a time.

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a fabulous day!

This month the I Feel the Love Project is honored to draw attention to the issue of domestic violence.  As long as one person is suffering from domestic violence, that is one too many.  We at the I Feel the Love Project are rallying around domestic violence victims and their children this month by designing and creating unsigned birthday cards that will be sent to the SAFEHOME shelter for domestic violence survivors.

About SAFEHOME: SAFEHOMES's mission is to break the cycle of violence and partner abuse for victims and their children by providing shelter, advocacy, counseling, and prevention education.

SAFEHOME’s shelter offers a confidential, safe and healing atmosphere.  Every year, more than 350 women and children find safety, help and hope at SAFEHOME’s shelter. SAFEHOME’s shelter offers safe, supportive and accessible shelter accommodations to women and children.

• Meals are provided
• Clothing and other personal items are available if necessary
• Counseling for adults and children
• Housing Assistance
• Educational and Employment Assistance

Services are provided at no cost. All services are available in English and Spanish. Translators for other languages are provided when needed. Victims of Domestic Violence with Disabilities are welcome at SAFEHOME’s shelter. 

Most rooms are of universal design, with two bedrooms specifically adapted for persons with physical disabilities.

Children are also victims of domestic violence. They may exhibit fear, anxiety, depression, anger and other overwhelming emotions. At any given time, 50% or more of shelter residents are under the age of 17. SAFEHOME staff are trained and experienced in dealing with trauma in children.  Services for children include: children and family advocacy, counseling care, the children’s center, child-friendly environment, outdoor playground, computer lab, child-friendly meals.       

If you would like to be a part of this month's project, please create an unsigned birthday card or cards for women and/or children.  We will be sending these unsigned birthday cards to SAFEHOME so that they can keep them on hand for their shelter residents'.  When the need arises, the women and children will have access to free handcrafted birthday cards.  Who doesn't want to be a part of this?  I know I will be making several cards this month.  Please join me.  You will be so happy you did.
