It’s Week 10, the final week of  Cards for a Cause: The Inmates Project. I can hardly believe that 2 ½ months have gone by already ever since we first launched it! But looking back, we did get to accomplish a lot, specially the card count, which by the end of this week, will total  780 - and that’s not even the final count! I received notes from several hugsisters who have just sent in their card donations, I haven’t gotten them yet, but I’m thinking that we just might break 800 here, yay, yay, yay! Thank you so much to everyone who have donated and supported our Inmates Project – for those who want to check out the cards that have been donated by all the wonderful ladies, you can see them at the gallery. 

I’m saving the best for the last, and this involves an oak sprig. Well, let me show you the card first:

I thought that this card is just right for the times and the season we are in right now.  It’s true that we are living through  difficult times, but I do believe that challenges are blessings in disguise, and that things will work out in the end. And if you’re wondering where I got that image of an oak sprig, well, it’s right here! Just right-click on the image below and save in your computer. The image is 3″ x 3″ with a resolution of 150, and it is in png format already (no need to remove the white background!). Please note that use of the graphic consitutes following Gem’s Cottage’s Terms of  Use.  Have fun playing with the image and please use it to do good. *** If you want the card layout I made above (without the Bible passage), just post a comment below.***
