EDIT: PRIZES are posted below ! look to see who sponsored us!!!
*Our first bit of inspiration comes from two simple sketches, one for a layout and the other for a card. Your job is to create either a card, layout, or both and send us a link to your creation. Each creation will be viewed and your name placed for a prize opportunity. Link us on your blog and you get an additional entry.

Card Sketch
*Now for the giving part...we challenge you to go through your closet or pantry and put together at least one grocery bag of items to donate either to your local Goodwill or food bank. Take a pic of your bag and send it to us. This will get you an additional entry to win a RAK from us. Thanks again and we can't wait to see what happens!
Check out what we have done with the sketches! And now go get yours done ! All entries must be linked to us by Feb. 12th 12 p.m. Pacific standard time. We will be selecting the winners on Feb. 14th. Want to see some of the prizes? Scroll down!

I have uploaded my page called "innocence" on my blog and also included a photo of the groceries I donate every two weeks to the food bank. I used to quote from your page to explain what your site is about and included a link. This is a wonderful idea and I hope many people join in.

Ok...I've completed my layout. I totally had a great time putting it together. I hope you like my interpretation of the sketch. Thanks for dropping by and leaving me a comment.

I took my bag and forgot to take a pic of it lol
however
our basement flooded
and it made me realize that there's lots of stuff down there to go-nothing got damaged but it sure made me realize that I've got too much and it's time to purge
by the time I am done
I will have taken clothes, two baby cribs, a playpen, and all kinds of toys to the diabetic socitey to resell for research
thanks for the reminder to give-it's such a good feeling
February 13, 2009 at 11:29 PM
sorry for the delay ladies... here is mine
my card
I totally forgot to take a picture of my donation bag, next time I'll do it!
