Last week while I was on my Spring Break I was able to attend a fun event with Richard Garay and Fun Stampers Journey to help raise money for Breast Cancer research. On Wednesday night we met at the Anaheim Convention Center to make some cards. It was huge venue, but a cozy affair. We made three different projects using a combination of the "Awesome You" and the "Be Brave" stamp sets. The first project was a stationary set which included two cards, the envelopes and a cute package to tie it all together. Below is my finished project.
Next we created a gorgeous card emphasizing strength and hope. It is just a small sample of the versatility of this amazing stamp set, "Be Brave." The other amazing this about this set is that proceeds from every set that is sold are given to a charity called Breast Cancer Angels. I think this is such a fantastic partnership, and allows you to give back in multiple ways.
The final project I forgot to take a picture of in the great lighting of the Convention Center, but it is still just as cute. It is a little treat box decorated with the ribbon again from the "Be Brave set. It was super easy and super cute and makes a great little box to send someone that extra ounce of encouragement.
The night ended with Richard presenting a check to Breast Cancer Angels for their portion of all the stamp sets sold to date. It was really great to be part of this fun event, to craft with friends and see this partnership in action.
Each person in attendance was also blessed with their very own "Be Brave" stamp set to take home with them so we can re-create these amazing projects with friends and family. If you are interested in making any of the projects shown here let me know, I would love to share.
