PMS - Jen's Sunshine!

I have always been a huge supporter of Paper Makeup Stamps, even before I was a DT member. Recently I stepped down from the team, but I still LOVE PMS and everything they do, they are one of those feel good companies. Today I got the pleasure of reading about their newest charitable set,Jen's Sunshine Digi Set.

When I read all about this set, it once again reinforced how much I love Paper Makeup Stamps and Katie! Jen Scull was a fellow design team member and huge PMS supporter as well and I had the pleasure of working with such a fine woman. Jen is currrently battling cancer and she has an amazing outlook on everything that has come her way. Throughout it all she remains positive, when we all know that can't be easy. Please take the time to check out the set and support Jen Scull, she deserves it and more!

I have lost family members to cancer, and it is very sad. In fact, on August 12th I will be taking part in the Kansas City Susan G Komen for the Cure.

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge - Stars and Stripes!

It is Wednesday, which means that it is time for another challenge at the Fab 'n' Funky Challenge Blog! This week the Fab 'n' Funky Team is creating samples for the challenge, "Stars and Stripes"!
This week we have two fabulous sponsors and I was able to create samples for both sponsors. The fabulous sponsors this week are Tickled Pink Stamps and The Paper Shelter! For my card using a Paper Shelter image I inked up Cool Waitress! I paired her with this awesome cardstock sticker I got as a freebie at my LSS at their anniversary sale, it was perfect for this challenge plus this great ribbon in my stash from The Ribbon Carousel matched too! For my Tickled Pink Stamps card I didn't go for the 'Red, White, and Blue' color combination with today being the 4th of July here in the US, instead I used this fun striped paper that has some great pink, yellow and green tones with matching stitched ribbon.

Be sure to stop by the Fab 'n' Funky Challenge Blog and join in on the fun there as well! I can’t wait to see what you create! Have a wonderful day all!
