Devastating Fire - Help needed for a fellow crafter's family

As a member of the Card Fairy Army on my Favorite MB, I was made aware of a very devastating story. A fellow member on my favorite MB has posted the story on her blog. Two of her children and their families lost their home and their belongings in a tragic fire last week. In the home were also 2 grandchildren. Thankfully they all escaped the blaze unharmed. They escaped with each other and the clothes and shoes that they had on. The next day the one son-in-law went in and found the flag which draped his father's casket. If you'd like to read the whole story, it is found on Kymberlee's Blog. They are asking for help for these two families. No gift is too small. More details on that are also listed on Kymberlee's blog. Both of the men, both named Nick, proudly serve in the US Coast Guard.

Even encouraging words would be great. Why not send a handmade card if you are a crafter. The address is also on Kymberlee's blog.

Sunny Fun

Ok I love this set! What could be cuter then some cute little flip flops? I got the idea for this card on Stampin' Connection, which is a site exclusively for Stampin' Up Demonstrators. This image is from the Sunny Fun set which is available from Stampin' Up only until August 31st! It features craft colored cardstock, white cardstock and some patterned papers I had on hand. Not to mention ribbons and buttons! I colored the images in with my Marvelous markers (aka Stampin' Write Markers) and then added in some white gel pen, then added some rhinestones to a pair of the flip flops. I made these for the summer theme for my Addicted to Cardmaking swap on my Favorite MB.
