Create For A Cure!



What a FANTASTIC day we had on Saturday at our first ever Create For A Cure fundraiser! It was a ton of work - but so completely worth it to 1) raise money for a wonderful cause and 2) to see the stamping excitement in the room during the event!

There are a number of people I wanted to formally THANK!

Rebecca Wheeler - you kept this event on track! I completely over-booked myself in October and you eagerly picked up my slack to ensure we were prepared for Saturday! What a team we make! I can't wait to hold another event with you in the Spring!

Forest City Concrete Finishing Ltd - Doug Wheeler - without your generous donation, we would not have been able to raffle off our Grand Prize 'The BIG SHOT' as well as a number of other prizes for our prize table. In addition to this, THANK YOU Doug & Kathryn for helping us set up & take down tables at our event!

TD Canada Trust - was a major sponsor for this event. With the generous donation TD made toward the cause, we were able to pay for the venue, the food and more prizes for our enormous prize table! Did you know that we were able to have 1 prize per guest??? That's 28 prizes PLUS the Big Shot & Dies!!

Stampin' Up! - when our amazing company found out what about our fundraising efforts, they too contributed to our prize table by sending along Stampin' Up! products!!

At the end of it all - together with our event guests, we raised just under $800 for The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation! Next year, I'm sure we'll try to stretch this out by having a goal of $1000 or more! I can't wait!

What a gorgeous card!! Thanks for sharing. What stamps did you use?? And what did you use to glitter up the snowflake - dazzling diamonds? Did you stamp in a glue pad or something?
