Happy World Card Making Day everyone! We hope you can take some time today to enjoy and celebrate our favorite hobby!We've got some special things going on for WCMD on our website today, and one of them is our Card Contest! The reason we are having a card contest is we hope to collect and donate your cards to Cards for Cancer. One of our Design Team Members, Lauren Meader, suggested that we donate the cards from our contest to this very worthy cause, and we loved this idea! I received a very special letter from Marcia at Cards for Cancer, and I've posted that email below. You will see that she is very appreciative of your efforts and excited about our contest!!!
So...send us your entries! Here is the scoop on the contest:
1) The only requirements are that Lizzie Anne stamps be used. Any other products may be used.
2) You may enter as many times as you like.
3) Cards must be mailed to us and received by October 28th to be eligible!
Here's what you'll get:
1) The winner of the contest will receive a $50 gift certificate, our new WCMD set, and have their card featured in our November newsletter!
2) UPDATE! Due to the great amount of interest our contest is receiving, we've upped the amount of runner-up prizes from two to TEN! That's right, ten of you will also receive our new WCMD set!!!!
3) ALL the cards we receive will be donated to Cards for Cancer. So everyone is a winner!
We can't wait to see your entries!
Letter from Marcia at Cards for Cancer....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you so very much. Right now all the cards that I make and receive are going to Oncologists, Hospitals and Hospice organizations. Thanks to Lauren, I also am also receiving individual requests from all over the country. Right now I am finishing up requests from a woman in Texas for her father, and a woman in Wisconsin for her sister.
I am honored that you have chosen to be a part of this outreach. I am a three year survivor of breast cancer so October (Think Pink) is a special month for me. I celebrate my birth on the 5th and am so grateful that I am alive still alive to see my four children grow. My oldest daughter is a sophomore in college, daughter number two is a senior in high school, my stepson is a junior in high school and my "baby" is in sixth grade.
Please let everyone at Lizzie Anne know how blessed I am to have such wonderful people like you in my life. Please let me know if I can do anything for you. I am in awe of your generosity!

Do these cards need to be a specific theme? IE: get well, thinking of you, etc..... or can they be anything (Christmas, baby, birthday, etc.) ?
I was wondering the same thing as Julie!! Any specific theme??? Or just general themes???
We are accepting cards of any theme for the contest, but I would think that good cards to donate would have upcoming Holiday themes, Thinking of You and Sending Good Wishes type themes, or just "general" themes! I will check with Marcia about this and post to my blog.
A beautiful letter. What your doing is a wonderful thing.
Mary
What a perfect card for this!!!!!!!!!
