15,000 cards for epilepsy awareness

 This year I am attempting to create 15,000 cards before the end of the year. Most epic walks around Australia take near a year and are around 15,000kms so I decided to round it off to 15,000 cards. Each and every card at the end will be donated to worthy charity and cause that will be listed here. I've done several rewarding charity walks and challenges. This one will be a little different.

Following a large ischemic stroke in 2015 and not given much chance to survive then diagnosed with epilepsy just a few years ago the reason and cause is very close to my heart and now so is craft and scrapbooking. I dare to be different by creating this challenge now until my goal is reached.

If you would like to support me with kits, card stock and more so I can create each and every single card myself your support would be greatly appreciated.

I'll even supply you all with a few videos and tutorials along the way when we've reached certain points on the map.

To donate items please message me on facebook anytime and I'll add you as a proud supporter for the challenge below.

Sharing team hero Jacqui Mccully

 

Hi everyone, my name is Jacqui McCully

I have always  have been Creative in my life, As a young child, i was fascinated  by my grandfather, who made me a book,  

My grandmother, then gave me  Christmas cards to cut up  i was about 7 years old,  my grandfather told me that the book  (now scrapbooking) I would stay at the house  each time i visited to work on.  

At my 21st  i created a  album  but it  wasn't until i was in my 40 s that it really took off  again  come 2007  i again tinkled with it,  when   a  Kaisercraft store came to my area and i was hooked & haven't looked back.

I have  created layouts for online challenges, from 2014 - 2018,   have entered  a  layout in a scrapbook magazine that i really was impressed with ,  so i wrote  &  said i have reused, one of their layouts ,  the editor  really liked  it and it was published,  i was stoked,

I have  my layouts in  a scrapbook shop at Mixed Gypsys  here  in Logan and  have taught a  class there during  covid  there as well as  at retreats  and i am  on Megan's  design team, but haven't done any for a little while as my mother had  passed away but  hoping to get back into the swing of things soon.

I do a online Mystery Scrap with Jacqui every 2 weeks  its a private page so you will need me to join you into, which keeps me busy and thinking what to create next.

I'm now enjoying creating  layouts in  8 inch size,  as well as  making  my own albums to put them  into.  lots of fun ,  

Thank you Megan for  allowing me to be on your design team. 

 

cheers

jacqui
