There are many Everyday Heroes. Doctors, nurses, the entire medical field. There are also unsung heroes. The people who make our lives easier during this trying time. The post office and delivery people, grocery store clerks and stockers, gas station attendants, restaurant workers providing curbside service, IT people, the people at the other end of the phone, etc.

And we can be a hero too by keeping our spirits up. By staying busy, being creative and sharing that creativity with others. We here at The Cat’s Pajamas want to do our part by providing the Social Distancing Digi Collection for free. You have until the end of the month to create a project for a chance at a $50 gift voucher to the TCP store. You are not required the use the digital set or any other TCP product but we hope you do!

We are all in this together so please use your talents to let people know that you are thinking of them by mailing out the cards you make for this challenge.

 

I pray you are all staying well. The world has certainly changed for all of us. Let’s just remember to be kind to one another and we’ll get through this together.

I don’t know about you but I have never been so glad to have an “at home” hobby as I do now. Cardmaking has certainly been a great distraction from the anxiety and uncertainty.

And speaking of cardmaking, you have until the end of the month to submit a project to our TCP Tuesday challenge for a chance to win a $50 gift voucher to the store. The challenge is to use a “furry animal” on your project and TCP products are not required to participate.
