Blog Hop Japan Style

we all know of the devastation Japan has faced & are living everyday

we in the crafty world must band together to do what we can!

So the fabulous people at Whimsy Stamps & Friends

have organized a blog hop of great magnitude

This is what they have to say:

Hello and welcome to a very special blog hop today! You may have been on the first hop that Whimsy put on for this special cause. Well, there were so many who volunteered to join in that we had to do a second one! The illustrators of Whimsy Stamps have come together to draw a special set of digi images for the purpose of raising money for the relief effort in Japan. All proceeds from the sale of these images will be donated to that cause. Kenny K, Raindrop Echo Designs, Meljens Designs, and Crissy Armstrong all contributed art work. For the whole month of April, you can purchase the images as a set or individually (your choice) by visiting this page on the Whimsy store site. Please consider helping this special cause by purchasing one or all of the digital images we are offering.

These images are AWESOME & available at a great price with

proceeds to the American Red Cross efforts in Japan !

Hopefully you can join us :)

I would be honored :)

Kenny K made a very special image for the hop

so here is my card featuring it.

I decided to make a card illustrating my own style of benefit concert

"a crafty benefit concert!!!"

I used the center of the Japan flag

glossy "accented" & froze it

to make it crackled.

I wanted it to appear like it is "broken"

just like Japan is right now.

If you came here from Sarah's blog you are golden :)

and now you need to head over to Jackie's
