SPECIAL day at the Little Paper Shop

Today is a special release day at the Little Paper Shop. Our precious design team member Allison has designed a digi stamp set in honor of her daughter Avery. Avery was born with a congenital heart defect (although it has been repaired). Allison designed a stamp set to honor the hospital that did Avery's surgery. She created this digital stamp set, with a twist. Titled "Broken Hearts for Broken Hearts", it will be available at the Little Paper Shop for a donation of five dollars. All the proceeds (save any PayPal transactions fees) will be donated to the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton to aid in research and the purchase of specialized equipment.

Please visit the LPS blog to see all the cards that the DT made with this set and to get ALL the details about what you can do for this charity. Thanks so much for your participation. Here is my card............
 
 

See you in the morning for more fun stuff.

Hugs,

Sneak Peak - Day 2 Little Paper Shop and a Challenge

Hello and happy Monday. This is our second day of sneak peeks for the Little Paper Shop with the release being tomorrow, November 17th. We only have two sets releasing this week but they are FABULOUS. There is a challenge today, LPSC42, and it's to use a die cut of any kind on your card. Easy peasy, right? I showed you the {I Heart} set yesterday. Wasn't it a beauty? I'm using another one of the images (the heart balloon) from that set on my card today along with three sentiments from today's set. Today's set is a sentiment set called For You. Love, love, love these sentiments. Here is my card...........

Don't you just love that sentiment? Wife is one sentiment, husband is another sentiment, and the rest is a third sentiment. There is a sentiment for almost every family member (Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, Son, Daughter, Friend, etc.). You will have so much fun with this set making cards for those close to you. Now head over to the other DT blogs and see what they have come up with..........

Exciting Announcement From Me!!!

Hello and happy Monday. I have some exciting news today. I have been asked to be a guest designer for the Little Paper Shop from Oct. - Dec. 2009. Woohoo!!! I am showing you a sneak peek card today with a stamp set called Katie Caroler that will be released this Saturday, Oct. 3rd, along with 3 other Christmas sets. Isn't this just the cutest stamp set? Katie is so pretty standing there singing her songs. We are using Sketch Challenge LPS35 this week, see below. I used some non-traditional Christmas colors for this card, pink and sage, but I think it turned out quite cute. I have always used red and green for Christmas so this was definitely a challenge for me. Love it though. Make sure you use the keyword LPSC35 when you upload. This week's winner will receive this Katie Caroler set from the Little Paper Shop. Now go check out what the other DT members have come up with too, see links below. You won't be disappointed!!!
