Help for Katie

A few weeks ago, I ran into the story of Katie Renz who is a wonderful cardmaker, but...just before Christmas was diagnosed with Stage 4 Stomach Cancer.  She is now documenting her journey.  My prayers go out to Katie, her husband and her three boys.

A number of stamp designers and companies have banded together and are offering a package of their digital stamp designs.  There are dozens and dozens of digital images by the best in the business.  This package is available here.  All proceeds go for Katie's treatment and for a treat for her three boys.

There are a wide variety of images in this package.  My first card uses an image called Katie's Love Swing.

My second card uses a dramatically different set of images - a darling whale set by Studio 313.

    I think these are both great cards - so different. The whale is just so cute! I think this is a super set of images, and a great way to offer support to Katie.

    Very cute Whale card - I love the bits of white ribbon you have used down the side - it's very effective. Chantell

    Love both cards, they are so cute. Especially love that swing and sentiment in the top card. Perfect use of the colours and sketch. Super cute whale too, love the monochromatic look of that card. Thanks for playing along with the Inkspirations sketch this week.
