I went completely digital
with my scrapbooking five or six years ago and never looked back. But I'd acquired
huge heaps of paper and embellishments which I could never bring myself to get
rid of – knowing that as soon as they left my house I'd be struck by a sudden need to decoupage my entire kitchen or wallpaper the bathroom with scrapping
supplies.
Happily, no matter how we scrap, we can all put the excess supplies to good use now. 123-Scrap has come up with a great project -- provide deployed soldiers with handmade cards to send back home to their friends and family. Participants make cards according to a designated monthly theme, and then send them on over to 123-Scrap who forwards them to troops stationed in Iraq – the soldiers can then send the cards back home to their family and friends. General occasion cards such as birthday, get well, anniversary, thinking of you, and etc. are also needed.
Cards need to be standard A2 size (5 1/2" x 4 1/4") with blank insides
so that the soldiers may write their own personal messages. 123-Scrap says that
many of the cards will be sent to children, so keep that in mind when you're
working out your designs.
