Card Drive for Lauryn with Paper Smooches

I heard about Lauryn through Lisa from The Purple Place. You can read about Lauryn HERE. today is a blog hop taking place for her and I am not officially part of it, but wanted to make a card for her and show it at the day of the hop. Please visit The Purple Place for the hop details. 




                                         

Lauryn was diagnosed with Leukemia Thursday, March 27th. She has been in the hospital since her diagnosis and will remain there having chemo treatments. Please pray for this sweet little girl and her dear family. Lauryn has two siblings that she just adores! Updates can be found via their Facebook page HERE.

I hope this card cheers her up!  I took the inspiration from this weeks Paper Smooches challenge, see the inspiration picture below:


I cut the banners and hung them onto Bakers Twine. All stamps are Paper Smooches from the set Chubby Chums.
And guess what? I used a lot of snippets for this card - it goes into the Snippets Playground!
And if you want to send a card to Lauryn, here is the address:

Children's National
Hematology/ Oncology RM 437
Lauryn Newsome
111 Michigan Ave NW

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers
