Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Digis for Debbie Fundraiser Blog Hop.  Recently, we learned that Mrs. Debbie Lynch, the beautiful and loving mother of Heather Dennis, owner of Fresh Brewed Designs, was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer.  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.

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 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.

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!  We look forward to admiring your creations! :)  

Here is what I made for this Bloghop:

Isn't this image CUTE!!!

New CAS challenge on MiC

Whoohoo!!! I won the CAS challenge on Make it Crafty!!!
So happy!!

And the new challenge has started, take a look and join in the fun!!
This month it is a shaker card, so much fun!!

I made this card for it , with the poppies from MiC, they were a freebie some time ago.

I love this image from Make it Crafty, it's colored with Derwent colorsoft pencils.

Bird on a branch

It is such nice summer weather here in the Netherlands now!!
Time to pick up my pencils and color outside :D
Unfortunately, when coloring a few of the leads broke again and again when sharpening.
So annoying!! I asked a question at the Derwent B page, but no answer there.
Then I asked in the Passionate Paper Creations page, and there they gave me a link where people tried the microwave to "melt" the lead together again.
I tried and it worked!!! Sharpening without breaking and...off to color again!!
( 15 sec, and added a bowl of water in the micro too)

So here is the card I was working on:

Image is from Jennifer Dove from DoveArtStudio, available at CC design.
