LSC245 A Christmas RAK {11-5-09}

[Stampinsilvia]

I know this is an odd limited supplies challenge, but my heart just went out for this little boy.

First let me tell you what the challenge is...you must use a Christmas image and only one piece of DP and NO diecutting machines, cricuts etc....I know don't hurt me please! anything else goes, any embelishments! Please be sure to limit your layers!

Okay the next step to this challenge is that you have to send htis card out to someone as a random RAK. It can be a person in a nursing home, a worthy cause or a little boy named Noah Biorkman...Noah is 5 yo. and he has been battling cancer since he was 3. The doctors told him he only has about 2 weeksl to live at MAX! The family is celebrating Christmas early this year and his one request was to recieve A LOT of christmas cards...so if you could please help me out and make Noah smile it would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the address:

Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon, MI48178

And here is the link to the story: About Noah Biorkman

Here is my card: Ducky Christmas

I have to go out to my aunt for the day today - I will try to make something before I go, but even if it's tonight, I'll get something made and send it to Noah.

[Stampinsilvia]

Thank you sooo much Sabrina! This will really touch Noah to get cards from all over the world!

Sivia, do you mean no trimmers, or just no die cutting machines?

[Miss Boo]

My heart goes out to this boy and his family.
I don't typically watch the local news so I didn't know about this little boy even though he lives about a 1/2 hour away from me. Thank you for the link to the story.

I don't watch TV so I don't get the new either, but my sister had a blurb about it on facebook and so I looked it up and thought I would help him out since it was my turn to host the challenge. Thanks for the support!

[Cook22]

I thought I should make mine this morning - we lost Saturday postal collections recently, so if I left it till tonight, it wouldn't even be picked up till Monday. So I got out of bed and put this together - time now to go and fix my aunt's sick PC before spending some quality time with her.

Great Challenge, Silvia!

Here's today's submission

[ButterflyEars]

Sounds like a worthy cause to me and you can count me in. I would love to send a Christmas card to Noah. This is a very sad situation.
Thanks Silvia for bringing this to our attention, I'm sure he will get a bag full of cards.

[Miss Boo]

Here's my card for Noah.

Thanks Silvia... here is my card Loads Of Love For Noah.

[angelahath]

Noah lives near us, in the town where my husband teaches; several people there are promoting this too -- thanks for giving even more support!

[Karen B Barber]

Okay- so I didn't JUST make this card, I made it a couple of weeks ago with my good friend Michelle telling me where to put the masking and where to sponge.....but I still made the card - she TOTALLY designed it for a big event we had with our SU sisters....and this morning I thought what a PERFECT card to send to a 5 year old boy!! And in the interest of time I want to get this right out in the mail - what a SWEET challenge!! I hope LOTS of people PLAY on this one!!!! Hope you like Michelle's wonderful design......she is nothing short of the absolute BEST!!

Here is the card:

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...017?&cat=17824

Hope you like it as much as all our SU friends who got to make it did!!! Michelle is in my downline, nah nah nah nah nah.........(I am really just humbly grateful. honestly)

[jlinsenman]

Many thanks for posting this...I put a request/plea out in the general stamping forum last evening...although I didn't use designer paper, last evening "spruced up" a card front I had made to send to him.
I hope the little shaver gets a lot of mail!

[markie's mom]

Well, I had a few minutes and used up some scraps on my stampin' table!

Thanks for looking and taking time to comment.

[Rox71]

I posted a request for Noah in General Stamping this morning, then Amber told me she saw it also on the challenge...thanks for the big heart Sylivia, maybe we can bring a little sunshine for this little sweetie.

The local news cast I saw showed Noah using this little tiny walker to get around and of course I cried just watching it.

Not sure I'll get a card done for the challenge, finishing up some work in the stamp room and have an appointment...but I did get Noah's card in the mail!

[Cici510]

I read about this on someone's blog. So sad... I will definitely make him a card and get it sent right away!

[marilynprestonn]

Here is my card for the challenge Silvia, thank you for pointing this story out to us. I am sending the card right away. Hope it gets there in time, being in Canada, I get bad surprises with my deliveries. I'll just keep our fingers crossed on this one!

BLUE FOR NOAH

Thanks for looking and enjoy
