I am quite enjoying this challenge of 10minute cards, especially around Christmas time when most card makers try and make multiples or a huge number for the holiday season.
and I couldn't just do one of these cards, I had to try another colour
If you want to see how I did it, click HERE for the step by step.
I guess I should go make some girly coloured ones huh. -
Why do I do what I do
A lot of questions have been thrown at me about why I make so many cards. First of all I love making cards and wanted to find a way to utilize them somewhere.
These are the three non profit organisations that I send my cards to Operation Write Home (OWH) and From Our Hearts and Any Soldier/Airman/Marine, I also support the Australian Troops too.
The cards are blank and get sent to the troops and they in turn write in them and send them home to their loved ones, it is hard for them to get cards to write home and having these handmade cards sent to them encourages them to write home, boosts their morale and keeps them in touch with family back home.
It is very rewarding making these handmade cards for them, knowing that in a roundabout way they are all giving of their lives to help make this world a better place.
Here's another card I made in 10minutes, a challenge that I have taken on every Thursday. Read more about it HERE and HERE

Christmas card for troops
It's a busy time for cardmakers who make cards for the troops. I've been busy as always doing my production line cardmaking.
Not sure how this page will turn out as this is my first time using this blog
I cased this card from Andrea Walford, I changed some of the elements, but I loved her design and colours so much I didn't want to lose the Christmas effect.
Of course those of you who know me, knows that I am not going to stop at just a complete case but will make a case with different colours etc so keep watching for other samples.
