Hi everyone and welcome to Caring Hearts blog hop day 1. I am glad that you can join us. As you may know, Caring Hearts Card Drive is all about bringing holiday cheers to the elderly that lives in nursing homes through our handmade cards. Many of the elderly might not have any family member or maybe their love ones live far away, etc. Our goal is to collect as many Christmas/holiday cards as possible and let them know that they are not forgotten.
When I started this card drive 5 years ago, I never thought it would grow by
leaps and bounds. I am so grateful that so many of you my fellow crafty peeps
continue to support it. This card drive is possible because of you and of
course because of the help of some amazing ladies. I hope many of you will send
in your cards. Please send in your cards by November 28, 2014.
There are lots of fabulous prizes!
To get you into the holiday card making spirit these talented ladies have step
in to share their cards that I hope will get you inspired (see below for all
the links). You can find all the card drive details HERE or
simply click on the badge on the upper left corner of my blog.
Now, I have a couple cards to share. First up, is this interactive card I made using sets from Mama Elephant & Lawn Fawn. Gotta love the sweet penguin set.

| Mama Elephant Arctic Penguin, Lawn Fawn Snow Day |
For this card, I use acetate to create the track to move the penguin while still able to show the snowy background. Here's how it looks like when the penguin skate to the right.
Next, we switched from cute to simple elegant card.
