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

Thanks so much for joinin us

So be sure to leave comments all along the way for your chance at a free digi!

Also, if you post the "Help for Japan" button on your blog's sidebar, you can enter into the draw for the grand prize!

SPS my hero, my mom

any & every person who knows me

knows my mom is my hero

she raised me & my sisters alone

was there for us, for me,

when no one else was.

She will always be THE most important

woman in my life.

I can only be inspired & aspire for my boys

to be half of what she has been to me.

So this week at SPS

we are honoring our mom's

and/or heros.

My mom has always loved yellow roses,

orange crush, brass figures and earthy colors.

So to honor her

here is my card

thanks for comin by

hopefully you can show us your hero!

oh my word...I scrapbooked!!!

I have been so wrapped up in design team cards

I have not scrapbooked any pictures in a long time

hopefully that will change :)

here are my boys last summer at my mom's cottage

just discovering & havin fun
