Swimming For Katie Renz

Hello and happy Monday everyone~

I am so happy to participate this special event,

*Swimming For Katie Renz Blog Hop & Fundraiser*!!

I hope you will join with us for the next three days!!

 

From October 10-12, some of the best stampers are joining together to support and encourage our friend and fellow stamper, Katie Renz, who is currently battling inoperable gastric cancer.  If you're not familiar with her, Katie’s cancer story started just before Christmas last year.  This young, beautiful, healthy, vibrant mother of 3 with her infectious smile was suddenly diagnosed with an inoperable cancer, virtually overnight.  A few tummy aches and then stage 4 gastric cancer.  Her first post about it is HERE.  The idea of “Swimming for Katie” came from her recent post HERE.

This exclusive stamp used in my sample, designed by Becky Oehlers is available as a clear stamp, as well as a digis or a digis and SVG cut file.  100% of the profits go to Katie's fund to help her and her young family.  Her husband Kevin and her three young children need our help and support.  In addition to the Keep Swimming Octopus, Marianne Walker and True =D Doodle Designs both also donated digis that are for sale.  Direct donations are also being accepted.  Information central is HERE.  This is a permanent page that will stay active at i {heart} papers with current information and the full 3 day blog hop listing, as well as the donation button. 

Here are all the items available for sale.

Here is my card using the digital stamps :)

I colored the image with Copic markers and cut the panel with Nestabilties label 3. Then I sponged the mat with ink. The flag piece was attached with extending from the mat. I designed the card with fun & colorful colors and papers…if this card makes you smile, that means I did a good job :)
