Card for Katie

Hello friends!

I'm so happy to be able to share a card today made with one of the new digital sets being offered on the Help 4 Katie blog.  In case you don't know about her, Katie is our design team leader at Clear Dollar Stamps.  Right before Christmas she was diagnosed with a rare form of stomach cancer with her only treatment option being chemotherapy.  I know that crafters are a giving group of people and this is one way we can help a fellow crafter and her family, and you even get something fun in return! ☺

If you just happened on this hop, be sure to start at the beginning to see more samples with some of the sets being offered in return for your donation to Katie's medical expenses.  Then drop over to the Help 4 Katie blog to see the sets in full.

And what's a hop without prizes??  If you make a donation through the Help 4 Katie blog between February 20th and April 20th you could win a fantastic prize from one of the sponsors!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!  

Oh, and here's the blog hop list, so you don't get lost... ☺

Help for Katie

Some of you may know that our dear design team leader from Clear Dollar Stamps - Katie Renz - was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Gastric Cancer.  Today one of her blogging friends - Jak Heath - is offering a huge collection of digi sets donated by digi artists all across the blogosphere to help raise money for Katie and her family as they face the medical expenses that will accompany her treatment.   I do hope you'll drop by Jak's website and see, and perhaps even make a donation yourself, if you are able.  I know it would be such a blessing!!

My cards today are from two of the sets donated by Clear Dollar Stamps.  The first set is called "Sending Love".  Don't you just love this balloon and the clouds?  It's so easy to resize digi stamps, and I was able to put smaller clouds in the background and pop up some larger clouds for dimension.   I figure that this will be good for a non-traditional valentine for my husband or son.

The next set is called Sew Grateful.  It's chock full of sewing notions and sweet sentiments.  I combined a few of the images to make my focal grouping.  And, of course, I had to add some stitching to the card!! :-)

I do hope that you'll drop by Jak's website to see the other sets being offered as a "thank you" for your donation.  I know that my heart has been so heavy for Katie and her family as they face a new year of uncertainty.  Let's do all that we can to help!

Blessings!
