Scleraderma Foundation

The Shabby Tea Room has a challenge this week, Pick your cause.  This was a very difficult challenge for me to participate in and even thought I wouldn't, but my husband passed away in 1992 from a disease called Scleraderma.  We had never heard of it and didn't know anything about it and actually there is very little known about it because it is so rare. 

The reason I decided to do this challenge is because I am so proud of my youngest daughter and youngest son.  Last summer they did a 5K walk to raise money for the Scleraderma Foundation.  They raised over $1000.00.

The incentive for my card is from the shirts they designed and had printed up, everyone that did the walk for them wore one of these shirts.

The front of the shirt had a picture of my late husband, (their dad) on the front and  Walking it forward, on the back they had the other things on it which you will see on my card.

The heart and the keys represent our love for him and the keys are the key to the future to find a cure.

A Little Bling Mini Album



I had picked this little chipboard mini album up and forgot I had it, I found it and thought  I would bling it up just for fun.



then you flip it over and ........



I used charms, did a couple of picture frames, made a couple of pockets, added a few die cuts and its up to who ever ends up with it to fill it all in
