Donation to BASE Camp Children’s Cancer Foundation

Back in February 2013 I created a project that helps raise money for BASE Camp Children’s Cancer Foundation.

With this project I create a type of Artist Trading Card called an ACEO (Art Card Edition and Original)

You can read more on how I got started and why on my first blog post on this project. Posted Wed. Feb. 6, 2013 at
http://uniquelysprung.blogspot.com/2013/02/bonnies-aceo-project-for-cause.html

Every time I created an ACEO card and someone has made a donation for one, I numbered the back, signed it and scanned it. The reason I make sure I have a digital copy of the image; is for another future project to raise more money for BASE Camp.

To date I am up to number 93 ACEO cards. The minimum donation for a card is $3.00 but many have donated more. My first donation of money raised was presented today to Terri Jones in the amount of $250.00.

Maybe after more people read this post and my earlier posts that they will want to donate for a cool motivational word ACEO card and the next check will be even bigger.

This photo is a gift I promised when I first met Terri Jones and Cindy Crespo-Whitaker. The first four ACEO cards I created are of BASE (Believe, Achieve, Support and Educate). I framed them for their new office.

Here I am presenting Terri Jones with a $250.00 cashiers check. 

Please share this post and my earlier posts.
The first will also explain why I am doing this.

Bonnie's ACEO Project Update 4

The doodling of a fun Motivational Word on a simple two and half by three and a half size mixed media paper is what creates my ACEO card.

This is a project I started back in Feb. of 2013 to help BASE Camp Children's Cancer Foundation. With each card created, a big portion of the donation goes to help fund what is needed for the kids and their families of BASE Camp.

There are several ways you can get one or more Motivational ACEO Cards.

There is a link on this post and my earlier posts that you can send in your

donation by PayPal. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn you know that I do several Art events a month and I always have my ACEO cards and supplies on hand. You can get one that I have already created or I'll create your favorite word at that time. If time is short I will mail it to you.

Here are a few ACEO cards that have been purchased during an Art stroll or Networking meeting. 

Most of the time you can find me during the month at:

1st Wed. Wine and Art Stroll in Lake Mary

1st Friday FAVO - Faith Arts Village Orlando

2nd Thurs. Wine and Art Stroll in Thornton Park

3rd Thurs. Church St. Art Stroll

occasionally I am at 4th Fri. Art Stroll Downtown Sanford

Bonnie's ACEO Project Update 2

I am having so much fun creating these ACEO motivational cards.

Bonnie's ACEO Project for a Cause is helping 

BASE Camp Children's Cancer Foundation.  

Every Friday night BASE Camp provides dinner and a movie to the kids at several hospitals. 

Here are a few photos of the cards I created for some of the kids at Arnold Palmer Hospital.  Putting smiles on those sweet faces, was fun and very rewarding.

You can see some of those faces on BASE Camp Dinner & a Movie FB event page

Bonnie’s ACEO Project for a Cause

It’s been a little over seven years since I lost my dad. Growing up; I have always tried to give to charities. One of the main ones, we gave to was Leukemia because my grandmother (my dads mom) passed from, when I was two.  She was only 52. My mom is also a survivor from that big C. For many years, the ORT Foundation was a charity my mom worked for and she still gives too. Plus my mom also crochets baby blankets for Project Linus. So I have always given, when I can to the big charities. When my dad passed at the young age of 72, we gave to Hospice. Now all those charities are great and are always in need, but I wanted to do something for a foundation in my own backyard. What I found was a foundation that not only deals with that big C, it also helps children and their families.

Lately I have been thinking of how I can do something for others with my ART.

In an art show I was set up in last week, one of the other artists had these small pieces of art she called ACEO’s tacked up on the wall.  I was curious; and after asking “what are these ACEO’s?” , she sort of explained. I was still perplexed and inspired at the same time. I was already doing small art, but they were magnets.

Then early Monday morning I was watching The Jeff Probst Show and he had this gal on who created happiness with a handwritten note, leaving them for strangers. I also thought why can’t I make people happy with an original piece of artwork.

So what if you need an explanation, you Google it, right? That’s what I did …. ACEO is Art Cards Editions and Originals. This was a movement that started ten years ago on Ebay. They are a standard size trading card (two and one-half inches by three and one-half inches) The size is the only rule in creating one, you can use any medium and any surface desired.

What has also inspired me are Motivational Words. Everyone has seen these in all sorts of ways, from posters to rocks and on and on… What I have done over the past few year’s, is to put words on wearable art, recycled art and high end art.

Now to explain my ACEO Project….
