The 100 Card Project

...and beyond!

Most of these cards are made with small details photographs just don't pick up very well. Each card is made with care and thoughtful planning, which is what brings me joy. I hope some of that joy will be felt by the recipients of these cards.
I set a goal for myself to make at least 100 cards for the Chihuahua Pride Day in Monterey (story by The Monterey Herald Newspaper). I was excited to be a part of a day where funds were raised to help spay and neuter Chihuahuas, which are in over abundance at our local animal shelters. I sold my cards, Dawn sold bracelets she made and Valerie sold necklaces she crafted from sea glass and other things she found at local beaches. Here are a few of the cards I did:

If you'd like to see the entire collection, here's a link to my 100 Card Project on Flickr.

Not all of the cards were about this specific breed because I wanted to offer a variety. Although I only sold 6 cards (hey, the space was free! Also, I have sold a few more since then), we still had a fabulous day watching all of the adorable dogs and their owners fuss over them with so much love. It was a great success and I hope to be a part of it again next year.
