Blog Hop for Haiti

Welcome to Skipping Stones Design’s Blog Hop(e) for Haiti. If you just happened upon my blog today, you’ll want to go back to the beginning at Skipping Stones Design.  You should have come from Dawn Easton's blog.

As a company, we wanted to do something to give back to the people who have been so devastated by the Haitian Earthquake. So we thought what better way than to invite some of our favorite stampers to join us in this cause. Each card you see on the blog hop today will be auctioned on E-bay with all proceeds going to the Red Cross in support of the Haitian Relief Effort (please check the Skipping Stones Design Website for the link to the auction). 100% of the proceeds of the Ebay auction and $2.00 from every stamp set purchased from February 16 - 22 will be donated to the Red Cross. We know that we can make a difference.

When I first saw this set, Funny Bras Vol. 1, I instantly fell in love with it - the humor is so me!  I stamped the image on various papers from Stampin' Up!'s Cottage Wall dsp and paper pieced the image together.  I used white embossing powder for the sentiment and finished the card with some little buttons - and of course, lots and lots of scallops!

My next card is so vibrant and fun - so perfect for a birthday.  The set is Cupcake Cutie and sticking with my paper piecing theme, I used fun paper to make my cupcake.  I added several turquoise rhinestones along the bottom for some sparkly fun, oh la la!!! 

Thank you for stopping by and your next blog to hop to is Erin Grotegut.

How about a prize? In addition to the fabulous eye candy, we have decided to hide a prize somewhere along the hop! There will be a few pre-release sets up for grabs hidden along the blog hop.  The fun part is...we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! 

Thanks for following the hop today - enjoy!
