The Family Place

I am so excited to be part of a new group here in Florida where we get together and make cards for people who could use really use some cheering up. This week we are sending cards to "The Family Place" of Orlando. These are victims of domestic abuse who are really trying to make a better life for them and their children. Going through my stamp sets I have decided that I really need to invest in some "cheering up" stamps. LOL! But was happy to find this stamp set from Unity called "Something Within". This is one of my favorite stamp sets and I thought it would be perfect. Might be a little "over the head" for the younger children but hopefully the other girls in the group will have something for them.

This first card uses this week's sketch over at SCS.

Stamp Set: Unity's Something Within
Paper: SU! Basic Gray Cardstock, SU! Whisper White Cardstock, SU! Patterns Packet II (Retired)

For my next card, I used this week's Mojo Monday Sketch 101.
