Color Hues - Lindsey's Legacy Hop

Hey crafty friends,

Today, I'm honoured to be joining a very special challenge with the team at Color Hues!  

In conjunction with their normal colour challenge, The Color Hues Design Team and a few guests (like me), from their sister challenge Seize the Birthday, are participating in a Blog Hop! 

Collectively as a team, we are hopping in memory of our dear friend, fellow card maker, and Design Team member, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who sadly passed away last year from a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer.  

The purpose of this hop will be to honor Lindsey, celebrate her life and all that she loved, as well as spread the word to raise funds for Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer Research.  

How can you Help? You can find all the fabulous details and the start of the hop HERE!

In honor of Lindsey, the team has created a variety of cards using her favourite colour combo of Purple and Red. (I love these colours too!) Lindsey was a team mate but also a friend - was so fortunate to be able to meet her & her husband a few times in person. Miss her a lot.... I made a card in her honour that I know she'd appreciate.

Thanks so much for joining us!

Take care,
Glenda

p.s. This is one of two posts that I've done today in honour of Lindsey. Here's the other one.

Lindsey's Legacy Hop

Welcome to those who've come from Tracey's blog....

Today, we are hopping in memory of our dear friend and fellow cardmaker, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who sadly passed away last year from a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. 

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Lindsey’s husband Burke thought it would be a great time to sell off her many craft supplies, with all of the proceeds going towards Lindsey’s Legacy Fund for Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer Research in cooperation with The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

The purpose of this hop will be to honour Lindsey, celebrate her life and all that she loved, as well as help spread the word to raise funds for clear cell ovarian cancer research.  You can help in one of several ways!

1. Purchase a Flat Rate Mailer stuffed with loads of fabulous craft supplies.  These can only be mailed within Canada and there will be no tax receipts provided with the purchase of these boxes.  A box of craft supplies would make a great gift for yourself, a crafty friend or a child/classroom!  For details about the boxes and how you can go about purchasing one, please email lindseyslegacyfund@rogers.com with the message "Craft Box" or visit Lindsey’s original blog, Bashful Blogging.  Every craft box purchase in September will be entered into a draw and one lucky winner will win a $100 gift certificate to Scrap ‘n Stamp.

2. During the month of September, shop at Scrap ‘n Stamp using the code LINDSEY10 at checkout.  You will get 10% off your purchase (sale items excluded) and Scrap ‘n’ Stamp will donate 10% of their proceeds to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund.

3. Any donations over $15 made directly to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund will receive a digital tax receipt.

4. Repost this hop on your social media and encourage others to share!

Lindsey’s Legacy Hop begins at my wonderful friend Emily Leiphart’s blog.  If you get lost along the way, please return to Emily’s blog where she will have the entire hop list.

How to hop:

💙 Like and leave a comment at each stop

💙 Learn a little bit about Lindsey’s connection to that person

💙 Share this post and help us save lives

Emily introduced me to Lindsey as Lindsey would frequently travel to my neck of the woods to visit family.  I was so lucky to meet Lindsey and her husband Burke in person a few times and we stayed connected through crafting.  She also joined our Seize the Birthday design team.  She was such an amazing person and I feel luck to have known her.  We were known to have cocktails together when she was visiting so I made a cocktail card in her honour (and CASED one of hers). I miss her ... this hop makes me happy and sad too.

The next stop on the hop is the wonderful Carol. Please be sure to leave a comment at each of the stops where you can learn more about Lindsey’s life, loves and her legacy.

Thanks so much for hopping with us!

Glenda

p.s. I'm also hopping along as part of Color Hues so this is one of two posts today to honour Lindsey.

Welcome Little Miss Croghan

Crafty friend Lesley is expecting baby #1 next month and we're having a celebratory blog hop for her! We've connected in person a few times and she's such a sweetheart. I know her and her hubby will be awesome parents. The fabulous Lori Turner is the mastermind behind this blog hop - thanks so much for all you've done.  If you want to join in the celebration, Lori has a place to add a link to your card/blog.  

I have a heck of a time making baby cards... not sure why. So I stayed pretty CAS with this and used my go-to technique - smooshy, watercolour background.  There is some glitter from Wink of Stella on the dragonfly and dots but it's hard to see.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Papercrafters go purple ... for a great cause

Hey crafty friends... Becca Cruger over at The Damsel of Distressed Cards is hosting a blog hop to raise awareness for Domestic Violence.  While I am fortunate enough to have never experienced  domestic partner abuse, I know others who have. We have to keep supporting survivors and keep talking about it to raise awareness and erase the shame and stigma.

All the details about the hop are here if you are interested in joining in ... paper crafters are turning the blogosphere purple to raise awareness.  I want to thank Becca so much for doing this and commend her on her ongoing courage.

Happy 10th Blogiversary Jenn Shurkus!!!

Happy Tuesday and welcome! I am super excited as I am getting to participate in my good friend Jenn Shurkus' 10th Blogiversary! She has been celebrating all month long.  If you don't know her (or even if you do), be sure to stop by her web site to her amazing cards and mixed media creations.  She is an amazing teacher... which I was able to experience first hand back in March.

Jenn introduced me to watercolouring and, if you are a regular around here, you'll know I've been playing around with it a lot lately.  Here's one of my favourites of hers....

I created something similar with some slightly different Distress Inks and some Hero Arts stamps. It is so fun!  I want to improve my blending so will keep practicing... this isn't the last time you'll see this technique on my blog.  She demonstrates it really well in this great video tutorial.

Jenn has some great giveaways happening!  Some amazing sponsors have donated terrific prizes!  You can get in on all the fun by entering your creation inspired by something that Jenn created over at the Blogiversary Link. Take a look at the Pinterest board of Jenn's creations, something is sure to inspire you! 

Just have to include a picture from my most recent visit with Jenn.... she is so fun, talented and super inspiring!  So lucky to have her as a friend.

Thanks for stopping by and please run over to check out all the fun happening at Jenn's. Have a terrific day.

Pretty Pink Posh is hosting a Watercolour blog hop!  I am very new to the wonderful world of watercolour and I love it.  I must credit my new love of watercolour to my fabulous friend Jenn Shurkus.  I knew absolutely nothing about it before Jenn's Art Loft Retreat in March.  Now, I love everything watercolour so had to play along. A friend of mine has been struggling with her health lately so thought this might cheer her up.

The technique I used here is shown here is from this post by Paula.  So cool!

If you want to play along, all the details are here.  There are some fabulous projects posted already and I know there will be others.  There are some first class crafters playing along!

Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

The fabulous & amazing & sweet Amy Tsuruta (I know, I've met her) is hosting a Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I haven't been crafting a lot so any excuse to make another card and play along with a fun blog hop is fabulous! (Oh and I do love my coffee!)

The card I made is not really holiday related... but I'm not making any holiday cards (gasp, I know, shocking - grad school is my excuse). However, I did need to make a little card to go along with a little "just because" gift I sent to my good friend Emily last week.

So Amy has some sponsors for the hop so be sure to check out all the details on her blog.  Everyone that links up with newly created holiday coffee/or other favorite hot holiday drink project is eligible for free stuff from the sponsors.  Check out the fabulous list sponsors and their freebie stuff! :)

Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine Special Thanks! Blog Hop

Wow... not really sure what to say here today.  Paper Crafts Magazine has been such force in the paper crafting world and I am sad that it will soon be no longer.  However, I believe we should celebrate the fabulous entity and the amazing people that are Paper Crafts Magazine!

First off... you should have arrived here from Brenda Weaver's blog... secondly, here is the card I created.  My mojo is a little rusty these days as I haven't been crafting due to grad school so hope you like it! (In retrospect - I should have done a martini card - would have been far more appropriate!  LOL).

I going to try to keep this short and sweet but I do want to talk about some of the highlights of my relationship with Paper Crafts Magazine:

• The relationship really started when I won World Card Making Day in the fall of 2010.  Can't tell you how giddy I was. Here's the card.
• Getting chosen Moxie Fabber of the Week in the spring of 2011 was pretty fabulous too. 
• Going to CHA in January of 2013 was so amazing as I got to meet the fabulous Paper Crafts ladies, the Go-To Girls as well so many other amazing crafters
• Just about fell off the couch when I got the email I was going to be a cover girl in July 2013.  Pretty freakin' cool.

I have to say, the best thing about this magazine, for me, is the relationships and amazing friendships it has facilitated and the opportunities it created for me.  I am humbled and honoured and I thank all of you soooo much for everything you done.  Your genuine passion and enthusiasm for the craft always shone through!

Here's a picture of Susan R. Opel, Cath Evaldson and me at CHA 2013. Was pretty thrilled to meet these two!

Bethany has created a fabulous video... check it out!  Also, a big thanks to Taheerah for organizing the hop!  Thanks for all of your hard work!

Now that you are done reading my ramblings... head off to see what Kelly Griglione created!

Thanks for stopping by.  Big hugs to all the fabulous ladies at Paper Crafts Magazine - we love you and you'll be missed! xoxo

Happy Monday everyone!  It's time to reveal the kit for May over at Paper Made Bakery!  You should have arrived here from the super talented Angi's blog.

I just love everything about this kit.  The gorgeous paper, the great stamps, the amazing embellishments (veneers, buttons, pins and puffy stickers - swoon), the fabulous ribbons... just blew me away.

Paper Made Bakery - How's the Weather?

Happy Friday!  It is a very happy day as it is the Paper Made Bakery Release Day and Blog Hop! I'm also super excited because it is my first official 'day' on the Paper Made Bakery Team!  Ok, I'll see if I can minimize the exclamation points for the rest of the post.  I'm just super excited about this!  Here's a picture of the fabulous kit for this month:

The current kit can be purchased by click on the BUY CURRENT KIT in the menu bar on the Paper Made Bakery website.  There is also the The Baker's Dozen kit subscription option if you are interested.

For my card I used some of the fabulous paper from Crate Paper along with the stamps and a chipboard die cut.  I used some mist to 'whiten' my cloud.  I popped out the heart and coloured it.  I love the sun from the stamp set so I jazzed it up a bit with some glitter.  Can never go wrong with a little hit of glitter. ;)  Hope you like what I came up with!

Be sure to check out what the rest of the team has created!  I know it will be fabulous!
