Jen's Sunshine Blog hop

-
Paper Makeup Stamps & Party Time Tuesdays Challenge Blog proudly presents 
"Jen's Sunshine" Blog Hop
This hop will remain open till Tuesday Sept.4th
Winners announced Sept. 7th
Today we take time to honor our friend and fellow crafter Jen Scull.  If you are here hopping with us, then I am sure you know Jen is battling breast cancer.  She has been fighting this nasty disease since February.  On behalf of Jen, we thank you for being here.
For this card I used the back ground that I had used for Retro TV (it had not made it to the plastic bag) and I thought it was perfect to showcase this wonderful sentiment.

I made another card that you have seen already at Paper Makeup Stamps:
I used for this one K&Cie paper, Label 20 and gromet tag from Spellbinder.  I used Wild honey distress ink on the digi and sentiment.  I also added some Robin's Nest dew drops.

The digi is colored using copics and some stickles for the wings:
Here's the closer look at the sentiment:

This is such a great set you really should consider purchasing it if you haven't already!  And it's for a great cause.


We ask as you hop along with us, please consider donating at least $1 using the paypal donation button at any stop along the way.  Your donation will go directly to Jen. Thank you.


It wouldn't be a hop without prizes.  To see a full list of the prizes up for grabs, please visit 
and

To be eligible to win a prize from our sponsors, collect the hidden letters located throughout the hop.  Once you spell out the secret phrase, please email Jenn Cochran at partytimetuesdays@hotmail.com.  This will get you entered to win one of several fabulous prizes.


I also have a 15$ PMS GC to give to one of the wonderful people that will leave a comment on my blog :D  So hope you will be many to do so!  How amazing is that?!?

    Fabulous cards, Vicky! I bought the set a few weeks back just to do my part for sweet Jen. She's been so strong and remains a wonderful inspiration for all the rest of us. She's in my prayers every day. Being a survivor myself, I'm very supportive of her and all the others who are bravely battling this disease. Thanks for participating. :-D
