ATCAS: World

Woot woot!  It's a new year at Addicted to CAS and we are here with our first challenge for the new year!
  
Our team is comprised of many talented ladies from all over the world, so I thought this code word, chosen by our lovely hostess Jaydee, was quite fitting!  We are joined by the very talented Julia as Guest Designer this month. I was just browsing her blog and WOW she has some amazing cards on there. I saw some backgrounds that just made my jaw drop they are so gorgeous!  Make sure to stop by and welcome her as Guest Designer!

I knew right away what I wanted to do for this challenge. We are very connected to missions in the Dominican Republic through Brett's work, and have been on several missions trips there.  I bought this set to make the children at the school cards a few years ago. We will be leading another trip in March. I'm so excited!  We are sponsoring a new little girl and will get to meet her. Lots of people sponsor children all over the world, but I'm guessing not many people get the opportunity to meet the children that they sponsor!  It is such a blessing and really makes you feel good about what you can do to help.

Here is the card that I came up with. This card was so easy, I think I will make more to give to some of the children at the school, the teachers and administration and the pastor at the church!


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed my card. Make sure to stop by and see the rest of the ATCAS design team's creations!
