Create, Donate and Win!

Once again we will be having a card drive at Mania! You create cards and donate them and you get a chance to win a new Explore! How cool is that?

For every 10 cards you create and donate, you will get one ticket into the drawing for the Explore. The more cards you create and donate, the more chances you have to win! And if you aren't attending Mania, you can still participate by mailing your cards to me before September 15, 2015. If your name is drawn, I will mail the Explore to you!

You can create cards for children who are hospitalized  or for adults in the Veterans Hospital in Atlanta {but please avoid the "Get Well Soon" sentiment}. So put on your thinking caps and get the creativity juices flowing and start creating those cards!
