Vicki and I had a fabulous attendence at the Bushfire Appeal on Saturday! Thank you to all the lovely ladies (and young ladies!) who attended to help make the day a success. I’m sharing with you one of the quick and easy cards we made in the morning. It’s using Ocean Commotion stamp set and retired Cool Caribbean cardstock for the base of the card.

My downline, Vicki Reed is holding a fundraiser to support the WA Bushfire Appeal. I held a stamping fundraiser in February of last year in support of the Victorian Bushfire Appeal, and we raised almost $2000. It was a fabulous fun day! Please book as soon as possible, as places are limited! We hope to see you there!

I thought you may be interested to know that Stampin’ Up! raised a fantastic total of $77,889.63 for the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal through their 12 Feb-31 March promotion, where 50% from the sale of select stamp sets were donated to the appeal.

To add to this, I have donated my commission from the sale of these sets ordered through me, which added up to another $51.34 for the appeal. Thanks to everyone who purchased these sets during the promotion, and helped to make a difference in the lives of those affected by the bush fires.

I just realised I haven’t posted anything about our Stamping Fundraiser for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal! It was a very successful afternoon, with just over $1900 being raised for the Appeal! Thanks to everyone who attended and helped to make it a fun afternoon, and a big thank you to my downline who helped me.
