Hello friends!
Today is a very special Blog Hop as we are celebrating parents!
Did you know that Altenew is doing a card drive!?
The goal of this card drive is to send cards for the elderly that lives in nursing homes or shelters to
let them know they’re not forgotten. Please check out the Celebrating Parents Card Drive and join this great cause by sending in cards.
This past Christmas, I gave away over 100 cards to the retirement home where my father-in-law now resides. Everyone in the home was so appreciative and happy when they received my cards.

If you arrive from the blog of Svitlana Shayevich, you are in the right place!
I am super excited to share a special card that I create for my 87-year old mom in Taiwan.
I see that parent's love come in many shapes, sizes, form and layers....
I incorporated many elements ( cover die, stamps, pattern paper) into one card.
In the end, the elements all come together and seem to "make sense".
As a parent, I know how important it is to play a positive and influential role in our children's lives.
For
me, being a parent is a huge privilege and blessing in my life. I also
honor my parents as they sacrificed so much for the next generation, so
we can have a better life.

Very lovely card. I ( along with my sister-in-law). make cards for a rehab center where my father was briefly a patient. The activities director says the cards mean a lot, especially the birthday cards. Think the card drive is an excellent idea.
