2017 Cards For A Cause
APRIL MISSION Stamp from the Heart!
ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED: Ronald McDonald Houses Of North Carolina
Description of Organization: Ronald McDonald House is an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization whose stated mission is to create, find, and support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children. CONTACT PERSON: Teresa - va.sunshine
Referred by: Diane Schneider - dls881
TYPE OF CARDS: Thank you or Blank – Cards will be used by parents of hospitalized children. The cards will be distributed to the 6 North Carolina Ronald McDonald Houses.
SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS: No glitter. Envelopes appreciated
GUIDELINES: Please keep in mind, we are representing SCS by sending our cards each month. Recycling is always good, but only use products on your cards that you would like to receive on cards. Also, our card donations are not tax deductible and it is not required. Please do not ask for a receipt. There have been groups that will send thank you's but the "referred by" person keeps us informed and passes on the thank you's. Most of these organizations are volunteers and spend countless hours helping others, lets help make their jobs easier and bless them in helping others.
For a little added inspiration you can join us in playing along with the OPTIONAL challenge each month. This is only optional and you do not have to play along to send your cards to the featured cause for the month. We always take cards no matter if you play along in the challenge or not. This months challenge is to be inspired by the color/mood board, see first post below. Be sure to use the keyword C4AC so that we can check out your card and comment! To see this gallery C4AC click here. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Another exciting announcement, we now have a badge for you to proudly display on your blog; here is the link. Sticky:Cards For A Cause Blog Badge
Also, we have a section now for on going Cards For A Cause, these are organizations that take cards all year. If after your monthly generous giving you have others, go here..thank you so much for all you do!
Fellow SCSer's, thank you for spreading your SCS love! Please feel free to mail your cards all throughout the month of June!
Once you have mailed them come back to us here

I thought it would be fun to use a color/mood board for our OPTIONAL inspiration this month. There are so many things to inspire with a color/mood board; the colors, the texture, the shapes, or even the layout/sketch. If you copy the photo be sure to give the credit to the creator.

Here's a look at 7 of the 10 cards I am sending off tomorrow. Did 5 with a sentiment and 5 without. Used last week's sketch for several since I liked it so much and it was cute and simple.
After a long absence from SCS, I'm back and looking forward to getting involved again.
Cards for a Cause caught my eye for a few reasons. I love making cards, but crafting has to mean something. Creating something that will put a smile on someone's face or help someone just get through their day is a great outlet for creativity and the need to help/serve others.
I can't wait to see the May recipient and get going making some cards!
