I love when I find bloggers who can routinely floor me with their talent, voice and heart, and Kara who writes I Just Might Explode never fails to bowl me over. An art school student with a talent for teaching, art journaling and scrapbooking, her blog is always full of gorgeous photos and lots of inspiration. And somehow I’ve never shared her here! [I’m working on getting better at that :)] She recently dreamed up a beautiful holiday art project where the proceeds go to a great cause, and because this is just so perfectly Kara, I had to share!

From Kara’s Post:

Hello all! About a month ago I was feeling really selfish. And sick of feeling selfish. So I asked some amazing, designing friends of mine if they could cook up something for a small postcard print fundraiser and them being so lovely, obliged. I was delighted at what showed up inbox and so inspired by their generosity.

Here’s the deal. Each unique, 4×6 inch print is $6 or you could go for the whole package of 5 prints for $24.

100% of profits will go the The Mercy House, a six-bed maternity home for pregnant girls and staff on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya set to open the summer of 2011. You can read more about The Mercy House’s mission here or visit their Etsy store and donate to their cause.
