SSCB #3 - Have A Care

Have you heard Serendipity Stamps has started a challenge blog?  Yes!  Now you can play along with our twice monthly challenges!  The theme this time is Have a Care.  Serendipity allows you to choose one of their stamps for awareness  featuring a variety of causes, including recycle, breast cancer awareness, adoption among others, at no charge with your purchase.  If you don't have one of these stamps the challenge site will be offering a free digital version of the one I am using today.

I come from a family of book readers so I chose Recycle / Reuse along with a pretty vintage book stamp to highlight my cause.   My family is always passing books back and forth to each other.  I've given away all my children's books that they've outgrown to a local school and hospital for others to enjoy.  When I'm on vacation I usually leave my book behind hoping someone else will pick it up.  If you have books to donate there are lots of organizations that would be happy to share them with others including your local library and www.books4cause.com.

I tried make my card look like a book too.  There are leather corners, a ribbon / book mark, and the title in a pretty frame on the cover! 

Hop on over to the rest of the design team member blogs to see their "have a care" cards.
