“USE YOUR SCRAPS” Cardmaking for a Cause!


OK this is a SPECIAL challenge this month, in honour of it being Breast Cancer Month I thought it would be a great idea to scrap some cards using the scraps from your layouts that you create. Our gorgeous generous and amazing friend Marelle is currently raising money for a friend of hers – please read a request she made . We would LOVE your support!
Criteria: is FREE for all…. Any theme as long as you USE YOUR SCRAPS!!!
BREAST CANCER FUNDRAISING REQUEST
“Hi Guys
I am trying to raise $450 for a friend's mother (who has beat breast cancer twice before) who has breast cancer for a third time.
This time, instead of going down the chemo track she has opted for naturopathic diet etc. So, my friend has not told her mum of our plan, so I am hoping to make it come to fruition
She needs to have unpasturised goat's milk and since she has limited funds, I need to raise $450 for a goat so my friend can milk the goat for her mum.
These goats are really unusual and rare and we have tracked a breeder down in Colac - so I was wondering if I could ask my gorgeous online friends here if you were able to make some cards
with positive messages that I could sell around my area to raise the funds.. you would only have to make a couple each
then I could sell them to start the fundraising..
The story is quite amazing - my friend has just reunited with her Mother after a considerable time apart (a lot ofyears ) and her children now have a grandma whom they did not know- after they were reunited the cancer came back - so I feel I would like to help , at least to raise money for a "downpayment" on the goat..
So if you would like to help, please mail all cards to me!
If you could help, I can pm you my addy and I will then sell the cards and start the ball rolling..
Last year (it took me 4 months to raised $60,000 for a friend's son who is now confined to a wheelchair after a bmx accident (17yrs ) so I am hoping it will only take a short time to raise $450
My gym (yes girls I have joined!) is having a Girls Night In on OCtober 29th 8-10pm at Curves in Drysdale

I am having a stall and selling hand made cards Christmas, Birthday, etc - I have some very well known scrapbookers making cards for me to sell - I have some already and they are stunning.. the cost of the stall goes to the Jane McGrath Foundation and everything I make will go to my friend's mother..
Thank you my sisters in scrap!xx
Marelle”
