Hello Friends, I’m sure your days are filled with such sadness and tears for the devastation happening in Oklahoma. Have you heard of the quick and easy way to donate to the Red Cross? All you have to do is “Text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief, which helps people affected by disasters …..” It’s amazing how just $10.00 can add up and make a difference.
How about a little incentive?? If you donated $10.00 or more to the Red Cross or another charity just leave me a comment confirming that you donated. A $50.00 gift voucher is up for grabs to the Simon Says Stamp store. I will pick a random winner next week.
How about a little sunshine? I think I have been waiting for this “Sunshine” die cut for a long time. It’s hot off the press from Simon Says Stamp. Have you wondered why some dies are more money? The more metal the more money. 🙂
I barely did any shading on this stamp. I added lots of details instead… like lace, white trim, stripes, thicker glasses etc. etc. The “Mad Rider” was purchased at Simon but, it’s out of stock right now 🙁
And I leave you with a photo from prom. Thanks for your visit and for considering donating. Hugs, Kathy
Cards that Care is such a great cause

have you seen mimi lately
I did! I donated through the Red Cross site last night. Thanks you for the opportunity to put a dent in my wish list. 🙂
Also, it’s nice to see you color without shading. It’s about all I do. I also have that die on it’s way to me. I can’t wait to get my paws on it!
Thanks, again!
I donated through the Salvation Army’s website and through a text message with the Red Cross. As I use to live in Oklahoma, this tornado stuff kind of hits home for me. (Even though I hated it there. Shhh…don’t tell.)
Love that Ray die and how you did your coloring on the images! The kitty in the basket looks so much like Grumpy Cat. 😉
Your family photo is beautiful. Your daughter looks so much like you. xoxo
Kathy, you are so sweet! I posted the same exact thing on my blog earlier today and yes, I donated too. It is so easy to do!
Your card is a riot! What a fun image that is! And I love that photo of the three of you! Your daughter is so pretty – just like her mom! 🙂
I did donate through Red Cross this morning after I saw the story on the devastation they are encountering in Oklahoma. I just can’t imagine what the people are going through.
Thank you, Kathy, for reminding us how to help out and how easy it is to donate — I just did. Our hearts go out to those affected by the devastation.
P.S. Your daughter is beautiful!
OH, Kathy, it is difficult to tell which beautiful woman is going to the prom!! Gorgeous photo. Since I have no idea how to text, I am donating through our church’s efforts for the Red Cross.
Beautiful photo of your family! Hope she had fun! I donated today to AmeriCares Foundation Inc. Donations were being tripled today by them and were going directly to Oklahoma. So good of you and Simon to do this! Hope it helps! P.S. Love your card, too!
What a terrible tragedy occurred in Oklahoma. I saw the news on TV and I could not remain indifferent. And I donated through the Red Cross site last night. Kathy, you are so sweet and you have a big heart!
It is truly horrible, what´s happening there right now, and all these poor people, that´s been hit by this terrible disaster now again.
We´ve heard a lot about it overhere too, and our local Red Cross is also collecting here to help the victims overthere they said, and pleaded people to find in their hearts to donate, which we always do and also this time ofcause. If just people everywhere could be better to help each other out, this world sure would be a better place to live in. I really hope these poor people will soon get some life back after this tragedy.
Your daughter is certainly a gorgeous young lady, she really looks a lot like her mum, that´s for sure. Hope she had a wonderful prom.
Since I’m from Oklahoma, I donated as well as I think my whole family. Such a tragedy.
Beitiful card and a very beautiful family photo.

I have made a donation to The Red Cross. I applaud your encouraging everyone to donate. It seems the very least we can do for those whose lives have been forever changed.

I made a donation yesterday. My husband and I are going to donate blood on Friday. Want to do everything we can to help.

I certainly did donate to the Red Cross. Your card is adorable.
@BrookeFox (Movin’ 92.5) tweeted this yesterday: “My mother asked me to share this. I come from a long line of Okies. (Real life Sooners here!) Mom is OKC born and raised. After asking her childhood friend Kent Carnahan, who works at this Moore HS, he recommended a site that 100% of your donation will go to help these kids and families after losing everything they had. This is where I will be donating. http://www.gosabercats.com/ “. I just wrote a check yesterday. Thank you for encouraging donations, SSS!
I made a donation to the Red Cross this morning.
Posting the donation information on your blog is a great idea! I shared it on Facebook right after I donated (after Jennifer McGuire tweeted it!). I so love the card that you made! I’m getting ready to work on coloring with some Paper Smooches stamps that I haven’t had a chance to use. I love that ray die! It’s perfect with the image that you chose!
Was thinking about donating so thanks for the push! Text sent :o)
Fun Fun Card!
Love all the details and blue eyeshadow!
Beautiful Family!
Love the Fushia ~
Oh, I just LOVE your fun card, Kathy! Thank you for making me smile, and for reminding everyone how easy it is to donate…I did!

Beautiful card I love the soft colors and the image is too cute. Really bring a smile.
I donated at work through a drive we have through the state.
Awesome drive your having.
There may not be a lot of shading, but I love the coloring! What a great card!!! Your family is beautiful, LOVE your blouse and necklace – you’re gorgeous!!!!
I donated to the Red Cross today. Thanks for the reminder that a little goes a long way. Prayers to all who are affected in Oklahoma, may God give them strength, faith and hope!
Thanks to everyone who’s donating and helping. My very dear friend is a teacher at Broadmoore and her sister teaches at Plaza Towers. I am so grateful they and their families are safe. I’ve donated through http://www.mercuryone.org/ where 100% of donations go to those in need.

My kids are doing a drive through school which is how our donations will go. Watching the images of the devastation takes your breath away…….so tragic.
A beautiful looking family. Such a fun card and I really liked your colouring without sh
Love the happy smiles on your faces Kathy. Lovely card too. I donated for a kids organization 3 weeks back, when I had gone shopping.
I haven’t yet donated to the tornado relief, but I did give a bunch of school supplies to our school 🙂
Had to say, love the card and love the prom pic…your daughter is a doll and looks just like you!
Donated through Mercury One.
Donated through a fundraiser with our church! So sad!
But those are great cards, Kathy! Great job!
We donated and took my 6 yr. old son so he could watch and see what it was all about!! He had a ZILLION questions and he was enjoyed the whole process!! THANKS for sharing I LOVE your image without the shading!! I also LOVE the picture from PROM such a BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!! =)
We (my husband and I) donated Blood instead of Money!! I forgot to specify that in the post!! My 6 yr. old found out you could save the life of up to 3 people every time you give!! Such a GREAT lesson to teach!! =) THANKS AGAIN!!
I’m a big believer in donating blood. Have been doing so for 40 some years!
By the way, that card with the little old lady is a hoot!
