silent auction with tart & tangy

My good friend Sarah asked if I wanted to be a part of a silent auction to help raise money for her daughter's school. I figured it would be a great way for me to get my name out there a bit and do something good along the way by helping to support the private school her daughter attends.

I put together a basket of goodies...
  • 8 handmade greeting cards
  • 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog
  • 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog
  • Level 1 Hostess Stamp Set
  • Spool of Real Red Polka Dotted ribbon
  • Gift certificate for a free card night at my home (3 cards for $6)
  • Box in a bag filled with chocolate treats

I packaged it up nicely in cellophane wrapping and a white bow...


Here are the 4 cards I created to include in the basket. There were 2 of each design, so a total of 8 cards.

First...I CASED your card from yesterday (I'll have to post a picture). I didn't have a button and I just used 1 1/2 inch squares but I love it. One of the scraps that I used was the Summer Picnic DSP...I love it (and look for it regularly on clearance!). I want that basket that you made...very nice.
