Mighty Max Low

"Mighty" Max Low  ( click the link for the full story) is a 12 year old boy (from Neola, IA) that has had leukemia for the past seven years. His wish is to receive one million get well cards, and is so far (the last time I checked) inbetween 200k-300k cards received.

Initially, a friend of mine had forwarded the story on Max, back in March. We decided that we needed to schedule a paper-crafting day, where we would sit down and just work on cards for Max. It took about two days of careful planning (as it usually takes for any card idea), and on Friday night, I pulled the current MojoMonday Layout (MOJO191)

This card was (again) used with the Imagination's "Celebrate It" line. I somehow stumbled across the paper pack while rummaging through the books at Ross, and I've never been so happy with a paper pack filled with mainly primary colors.



I really enjoyed making this card. I love every aspect of it, and even the small imperfections make it PERFECT to me.

It may be hard to see, but the open red space actually has a watermark of the "get well soon" that is imprinted in the middle. I did this by using Versamark ink on the plain paper.

The letters look like chipboard up close AND far away, but they were actually cardstock stickers that had come with the paper pack. I placed the stickers on black circles, and released the pyromaniac inside myself and burned the edges until they got too close to the letters (like I said, I  REALLY ENJOYED making this card). The letters were then placed on circles that were individually cut out from the same paper pack (Gotta Love that "Celebrate It"!!!).

I'm sending his card out first thing tomorrow morning.

If you'd like to send a card to help Max meet his goal, you can send it to:
