Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Digis for DebbieFundraiser Blog Hop.  Recently, we learned that Mrs. Debbie Lynch, the beautiful and loving mother of HeatherDennis, owner of Fresh Brewed Designs, was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer (uterine papillary serous carcinoma).  As most of you may know, cancer related medical costs can be quite expensive, and Mrs. Debbie currently has no medical insurance, which makes the cost significantly higher.  Therefore, we have decided to help raise enough money to cover these medical expenses, as well as aftercare expenses, by creating a digi shop.  ALL the proceeds of the Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Shop and the Fresh Brewed Designs Store will go directly to Mrs. Debbie to fund her lifesaving surgery and the aftercare necessary to bring her back to wellness.  Furthermore, Heather has created a Give Forward account to assist her mother.  If you would like to help, please stop by the Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Shop, the Fresh Brewed Designs Store, and/or the Give Forward Account.  For those of you who are not able to contribute monetarily, we would love for you to add Mrs. Debbie to your prayer list.  If there is one thing we know, prayers can work miracles that money cannot and healing and wellness is what we are praying to receive. 

Check out this amazing set created by Heather!  It contains six fabulous images with nine beautiful sentiments that can be used alone or could be paired with any one of these lovely images.  All of these lovelies are only $5!  You can find this awesome set HERE; and remember, ALL proceeds will go to Mrs. Debbie to assist with her medical expenses.

The hop launches today, Tuesday, July 14^th on the Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog, and will run until Tuesday, July 28^th @ 11:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time.  

All participants can be found in the linkies section of THIS POST on the Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog, and we would love to have you join us!  We do ask that you use a digi from the Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Shop or the Fresh Brewed Designs Store, and the theme is Anything Goes, and you can enter as often as you would like.  Two prize packages will be awarded, one prize for a digi purchaser and one prize for a blog hop participant.  Winners will be chosen on Saturday, August 1^st.  The prizes will consist of stamps, papers, ribbon, embellishments, etc.; plus, some random prizes will be offered by some generous blog hop participants along the hop.

For my card, I chose to use the image "Say Cheese" from the Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Shop.  I can recall many family photos in which the "rabbit ears" were shared, and opted to create a card using a fabulous Polaroid-esque die.  Since it was purchased from a gently used crafty group on Facebook, I hate to say it...but I do not know who makes it.  However, I do know that I love it!  I colored the image with Prismacolor markers and used some wonderful MFT Die-Namics (Blueprints 8 and large scallop border <--discontinued), which were also purchased gently used.  To finish it off, I added some ribbon, sparkly heart stickers, and Thickers.  A rather simple card, but I am happy with the way it turned out.  The only negative...my printer was running low on black ink, so the streaks are rather noticeable.  Sorry for that.

I do THANK YOU for dropping by and for helping us with our fundraising efforts; and again, we ask that you keep Mrs. Debbie in your prayers.  Have a wonderful Tuesday, crafty friends!  Please, join us!  We look forward to admiring your creations! :) 

Blessings, Smiles, and Hugs!
