The CHCD Concludes and a card to share :)

Hi there :) I'm popping in this afternoon with a card to share AND a wrap up for the 2015 Caring Hearts Card Drive.

This year in Australia we collected 1105 Christmas Cards which will be shared with the residents of 15 Nursing Homes across the land. 

Overall (combining the US, Canada and Australia) a huge total of 21 931 Christmas cards were received.

That's a lot of caring hearts and a lot of hearts that are going to be touched this Christmas by a little handmade kindness - what a wonderful effort!

Thank you so much to all those who sent in cards and a special thanks to Therese Calvird for helping me count and pack cards and Deb McCleary who coordinated the receipt and delivery of cards in Victoria. (Deb also created 60 gorgeous cards herself for the drive - wowzers Deb!)

Keep an eye on Vera's blog for a full update soon and the winners of all the amazing prizes from the many sponsors of this drive.

Before I go I have a card to share - creating this was so much fun :) I have enjoyed layering stamps so much this year and I love the Hero Arts Layering Wreath set. 

A little stamp layering for the background with my Versa Colour pigment inks followed by some camouflaged die-cutting using the SSS Merry and Bright Die Set.

Thanks for dropping by and I'll see you again soon...
