Literally, an RAK is a Random Act of Kindness. In the scrapbooking world, it has come to be synonymous with "prize," usually awarded to the winner of a challenge. But, really, is that a random act of kindness? I think not. The following will describe to you what a real RAK is to me:
First, I would like to show you a card that was submitted by Heidi (pronounced Hey-De) to the gallery of the well-known international scrapbooking website Let's Scrap a few weeks ago.
These are turkey feathers, guinea fowl feathers, and porcupine quills along with some skeleton leaves--all now very hot scrapbooking and cardmaking add-on's, especially in vintage-themed creations. That, my dear friends, in an RAK!
Thank you, Heidi--and cheers to my good friends who actually read my blog. If you did, leave me a comment so I will know you were here....and don't forget:
THE LET'S SCRAP LEAP AROUND THE WORLD BLOG HOP starts tomorrow!! Look for details right here on my blog at about 11:00am Eastern Standard Time!
First, I would like to show you a card that was submitted by Heidi (pronounced Hey-De) to the gallery of the well-known international scrapbooking website Let's Scrap a few weeks ago.
As a member of the Let's Scrap Design Team, I am in the site gallery almost every day commenting on the submissions. Here's what I had to say about Heidi's card when it was published:
"What an incredible piece of art, Heidi...more so even than a great card. You can often "feel" a card, full of emotion and sentiment. But, this one, I want to reach out and touch to "feel" the texture! You have masterfully represented your country in the elements you have chosen. Awesome feathers! ;-)"Well, today, in the mail--all the way from South Africa, I received the original card from Heidi! This would have been enough in itself to be an RAK, but inside, here's what I found:

Thanks for visiting me Kay. Corinthians 13 is special isn't it. Glad it inspired you. What a lovely gift you received in the mail, feathers! Surprise packages are THE best. I had a surprise package hand delivered to me today by a dear friend. So exciting. ~ Abby
