Create a card or project and be prepared to GIVE IT AWAY! If you are making a card, actually write a note to someone, seal it, address it, and be ready to send it tomorrow. If you are making a goodie bag, deliver it this week.
Here are card ideas.....
*Cards for troops
*Someone who is sick
*Someone who needs a lift
*A new mother
*Your mom or dad, brother or sister
*Your husband or wife
*Your children
*Your neighbor
Let someone know what they mean to you. We are in the business of making cards but how often do we remember to send them out?? That is why we began in the first place, remember?
Okay, once you get your project or card done we would love to see it! Post a link in the comments here. If you have time to make more than one, do it!!! Lift someone up this week!!

Robyn - so glad you posted this today! My brother in law is in Haiti right now serving. He just got back from a 6 month deployment and was only back less then a month and his ship had to leave again to help. He was married this past April and it has been very hard on his wife as well. I am going to make a card for both of them and send it out tomorrow!! Will post when it is finished!! Thanks again, be blessed today!!

This is a GREAT idea!! And I was actually planning on making my husband a Thank You card today for taking all four of our children out of the house for a little bit of "me" time! :)
What a Wonderful idea Robyne,
I hope it inspires other the way that it inspired me! <3 U!
Robyn, I too am LDS and am teaching a class next week in Relief Society on Dedication, Committment, and Enduring to the End. I think I will spend today making special handouts for the sisters. Thanks for your movitation. Now I need to find a second handout to make. Any suggestions?
Okay finished my challenge. Really I just happen to be doing these projects anyway. So I really just got lucky. ; ) I have gotten so much done during another snow storm. I posted my pics on your facebook page. ; ) thanks! Dedrah F.

First, I must say Thank you for sharing your special day of the week with us. Second, I just love this challenge! I'm what you might call the card lady, my friends and family love that I send card just to say Hi, I love you or thank you for being a part of my life. So I am going to make a card for my family that is there with you in Oklahoma. Thank you for sharing you life with us.

What a great idea, Are you working on thank you cards for all your helpers at cha? cant wait to see them
My helpers got some goodie bags when I arrived. :) They loved them!
Robyn thats a great idea. We are in the business of making cards so lets get to it. I'm sorry you are snowed in,I didn't think you all got that much snow in oklahoma. I live in N.J., the northwestern part where we have open space,and all of our snow is gone.Its cold out but the sun is warm.Enjoy the rest of your day. Dee at ed0946@ptd.net
Robyn, sorry to hear your snowed in, but so glad to see your here and we've got another challange. i will be posting one shortly!
Hey Robyn! What a great idea. My DH is a youth minister and had left yesterday with my Ds #1 to go speak at a youth rally. I made them both cards to stick in the suitcase. They were nothing fancy but my 5 yr old was delighted when his daddy read it to him last night before bed. I agree there is no need to make cards if the end result doesn't put a smile on someone's heart!

Wow Robyn, this was perfect timing. I just made a card that fits the bill and it's posted on my blog. Sorry about being snowed in. I'm so glad I live in Florida! Take care.

Robyn, here is the link to a card I made for my wonderful friend Casi. She has already seen it on my blog, but she is still excited to get it anyway :-) Thank you for the opportunity to win!! http://bevscreations.blogspot.com/
Great idea, I'll have to work on this one later, I have a lot to get done today and then I can relax and work on this challenge. Thanks for the inspiration and reminder!
I love these challanges that you've been doing lately! sorry y'all are still snowed in, but glad for the sunday challenge! you're such an inspiration in every way! enjoy your sunday!
I did get to church, but as my DH is curling, I'm scrapping! I made two cards...but they were already sealed and addressed by the time I read this entry...so no picture today. But its great to have done the challenge!
These challenges have got my creative juices flowing again over the weekend. I am about to do 2 Thank You cards for people who have driven us around this weekend as our car broke down Friday. Also it has challenged me to start a blog and to start documenting the creative things I do. Thanks, Robyn, for all of your inspiration!!! <3
Our 5.5" of snow has started to melt so while the kids are sledding I'm stamping. I've posted my card on my blog http://slippersandink.blogspot.com

I actually send out cards for women with Breast Cancer and I have been busy making cards for this challenge too all day.
Hi Robyn, I just finished making goodie/treat bags for my 7 grandchildren and for their parents! I don't have a way to post a picture, but I think they turned out great!
Great job Rhonda!!
That is awesome Marlena!!
Thank you. I was thinking of doing this anyway, but your challenge gave me the extra push I needed to get it done.

YOU ROCK ROBYN! ;o)
Robyn,
its always better to give than to receive. I'm actually working on two cards for 2 dads at my kids school. I was having car trouble (ran over a huge rock and couldn't get myself out..lol) They really came through for me. I laugh at the situation now but while it was happening I was freaking out. I'll post it on your facebook when I get done with them.
I made some things for my niece who it took a 1 1/2 years to get pregnant. They aren't fancy but from the heart. You can see them at my new blog
http://mikodesigns.blogspot.com/
I have been making cards to send out all last week, it seems like I found out many people were sick, and in need of some cheering up.
I posted some of them. They have already been mailed.

I was working on a project today and I was going to give it to my son's girlfriend. I guess good timing.
It's a Valentine Garland and I used the Sweethearts Cartridge.
Here is the link to my blog where is already posted. I have to take a better pic tomorrow tough.

Robyn: wow you are great with gifts and gift ideas. I made my card and am sending it to you by your email address since I am not on facebook or have my own blog.

I love this challenge!
Hi Robyn, my neighbor and friend is starting a new job Tuesday and she has never really worked outside the home (she is raising 4 kids). I decided to send her an encouragement card today. Thanks for the reminder that our cards serve a purpose besides sitting on our shelves. Here it is: http://thebarnerfamily.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-believe-in-you-friend-card.html
I had planned on making treat bags (inspired by one of your videos) with my 4 year old DS for Valentines Day. I love that he gets so excited about doing nice things for others.

Loved this challenge Robyn ~ thanks for the inspiration!

Robyn, i was so excited to see another challenge this weekend! So excited that i made two cards! I made a card for my brother who is going into the Navy, and a birthday card for my friend at school who loves frogs.
You can check them out at my blog! Scroll down to the first post! Hope you like them!

Hi Robyn,
That's so funny that you came up with this idea. Yesterday when I was making challenge #2, I had decided to send it to my friend. Great minds think alike! :o)
liz
I made a Thank You Bouquet for a friend at work. I plan to give it to her tomorrow. Details are on my blog. Since I just didn't have time to do all the challenges I combined a couple and did this with a summer/spring theme.

I finally got my challenge #3 done...and up on my blog. :) Thanks for another great challenge. Again these were my first of challenges...and I did all 3. :) Yeah!

Great challenge! I posted something I've already been working on for the past few days anyway. Some cards for soldiers for that forum over on the cricut board. They're posted on my blog at http://www.beulaville.blogspot.com
Thanks for this challenge - it's a good one!

Wow! This is too much of a coincidence!! While I was slaving away this weekend on typing papers...something I knew I'd be doing the beginning of the month...it's so cool to see a challenge that I've already done and will actually participate in today!!
I was too busy to make cards, goodies or even sign a store-bought card for my teachers at Christmas, and I felt so guilty. So before my last semester of grad school, I was inspired by you and Christina to make Valentine goodie bags. I'm going to stuff the boxes at school today at one campus and tomorrow at the other campus
Here is the link!!

thank you for the little "nudge" to give of myself to someone else.
Great idea Robyn!!! Sorry you had to miss church, but nice to know that you have so many great ideas for sharing our crafts with people who need a bit of cheering up!!!
God Bless!
Lisa Sturgill
PS Adore the snail cards!!!!!
great idea. It reminded me to send another card to the mother of an on-line friend from SCS. The mom is losing her faculties but loves cards, so I sent her one a few weeks ago, in response to the SCSer's request. Another is now stamped and addressed for today's mail. Thanks Robyn
Here is the card I made to send to my grandmother!
Had fun with the challenges this weekend!

I don't do things in my craft room on Sunday's either. I spend enough time Monday-Saturday and enjoy my family on Sunday and going to church. I like you ideas and will work on it this week.
Thanks for the idea! I am snowed in as well and this was a great way to pass the time and brighten someone's day!

Great challenges all weekend!! My friend has been ill, so I sent her this "Get Well" card.
http://craftini-time.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-pink-stamper-sunday-challenge-get.html
Thanks Robyn!!
Hey Robyn, I sent out 4 cards today. I am one of the Cricut Card Fairies. 3 of the cards were to folks through that group. And one is to a friend from the Cricut message board who has been bedridden with her back for over a week! I couldn't take photos of them as my battery charger for my camera is down! Gggrrrrrr! I'm not buying a new one until I get a new camera. So no photo's for me for awhile.
I make about half my items to be given away. I have to admit that it is sometimes hard to let them go. But I always take a picture and still have a piece to keep! Here is my entry for the challenge...

I actually made a card for my Dad for his birthday. I posted it to my blog.
Here is the address:

I made 3 other cards to save for other occasions. He turned 68 and I am very blessed.
Happy Scrappin'

Hi Robyn:
I just read this post for the first time, (it's Tuesday Evening), but the good news is, I've already conquered this challenge! I made 14 really cute cards for the staff at work who are trying to lose weight in our "Biggist Loser" contest. I wrote a personal note of encouragement to each participant.
I was snowed in over the weekend as well, so had the time to do this. Thank you for your inspiration!

Robyn you saw it on my facebook page.
My friend just moved from OR to Missouri and she got there just in time for the snow to start and it hasn't really stopped LOL
I know I'm late on adding something (camera problems). I just wanted to let you know that I actually made some "Get Well" cards and "Sympathy" cards to give to several people in my little town. Thanks for the challenge!
