Blog Hop to Benefit Jenn Scull

Paper Makeup Stamps and Party Time Tuesdays Challenge Blog proudly present 

"Jen's Sunshine" Blog Hop
The hop will be open till Tuesday Sept. 4th
All winner will be announced Friday Sept. 7th

 

Today we take time to honor our friend and fellow crafter, Jen Scull.  If you are here hopping with us, then we are sure you know Jen is battling breast cancer.  She has been fighting this nasty disease since February.

On behalf of Jen, we thank you for being here.

 
As some of you may not know, Jen was one of the very first designers here at The Stamping Boutique and actually inspired the Princess Jennifer Latte Line with her love for coffees and lattes!  TSB would like to do their part to help Jen-so not only are we donating a prize for hop, but we are donating all sales from the Princess PJL Breast Cancer Awareness image to Jen!
 

Our blog hop is starts today at 12:00AM Eastern time August 29th and you can start hopping  HERE.  The hop will run till 11:59 pm on Tuesday September 4. Our winners will be posted to the Paper Makeup Blog and to www.partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com (PTT Blog) on Friday September 7th. I will email all of you the individual winners of your prize(s).

Please help us support this wonderful lady during this difficult time, I know Jenn will kick cancer to the curb as she is one strong lady!  WE LOVE YOU JENN- BIG HUGS!!!

Smoochies, Smoochies, Everywhere I see Smoochies!

The new Smoochie line of images are becoming a fast fave with the design team and I thought it was perfect time to share a few of the fabulous creations!  Lawren has created the most adorable frame using 

"Baby Boy Smoochie", isn't her subject just adorable?

Here is a close-up of her wonderful coloring and wonderful design, perfect papers & embellies compliment her image!

Now Jen has worked with a couple different Smoochie images for her works of art.  First up she has used "Smoochie Blowing Kisses" as always she pick the perfect papers and embellies to compliment her little dancer.  I would love to just dive into her embellies sometimes to see what I can find to use. LOL!!!

When I saw this card I thought what a genius Jen is, this is a wonderful example of combining digital images.  In the background she has used the "skyline image" and put our little "Smoochie Fashionista" out in front like she is strolling through the neighborhood or maybe out shopping for clothes!

Make sue to check out the TSB challenge on Tuesday as you will be seeing a couple more FANTASTIC projects using the Smoochies!!!

Introducing Sue & Think Pink Monthly Contest...Deadline Approaching!!!

Time is running out to get those "Pink Projects" posted in our monthly contest in honor of breast cancer awareness month.  Remember you are not required to use a TSB image this month, but if you do you get 2 entries.  See all the details here!

I just realized that I have made a horrible oversight when cleaning out my emails and forgot to introduce a couple more of our new designers. There is no better time to introduce this FABULOUS lady than with this post about "Think Pink" proejcts. because she is a 223 year Breast Cancer Survivor and very 

close friend of mine, Sue Masoner!

Hey, everyone! My name is Sue or Miss Sue unless you’re my husband, Mr. Wonderful, then my name is Kiddo. Lynn aka Buddy or Mr. Wonderful and I have been married for 28 years. I am a stepmom to 3 wonderful children and Grandma Sue to 4 awesome grandchildren. I am a 23 year breast cancer survivor so pink is one of my favorite colors.

I grew up in a small town outside of Omaha, Nebraska and have called Kansas City my home for 35 years. I have tried many different crafts over the years, but can say I have never enjoyed anything as much as paper crafts...especially making cards! I am a Close To My Heart consultant and enjoy teaching others at our monthly crops. I am a former 2^nd grade Sunday School teacher and teach Junior Achievement at a local elementary school.

This is my second design team assignment and I am so honored to be a part of this fabulous team. I am new to using Copics and I am really looking forward to perfecting my technique on Tracey’s images. They are so fun and creative…I think you can tell by my picture, I’m all about fun! When I feel my mojo slipping, I put on my “crafty” headband. I look forward to sharing with you in the months ahead. Make sure you stop by my blog, Confessions of a Paper Hoarder and give me a shout!

Where to find TSB this week!

 

Up for a sketch challenge?  It's not too late to join the challenge over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp ending tomorrow and there are only a few entries currently. I (Christy) created this card using "sunshine sentiment", what a great sketch to let your sentiment be the focus of your card!

October is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" and we are honored and proud to be sponsoring the first annual "Link Up For Pink Party."  From October 1st-14th lots of wonderful pink projects are being created and sent to the PA Breast Cancer Coalition to bring a little encouragement to those recently diagnosed.  This is just one way we as crafters can bond together and share our amazing talents to bring a little smile to the faces of those who need it!  Please take the time to support this great cause, you can see all the details on ho to participate here.

Both of these BEAUTIFUL cards were created by Jenn Scull using images perfect for this special cause! For her first card above, she has used "Princess Jennifer Latter Breast Cancer Awareness". What a lovely card using a non-traditional shape for her base, perfect paper & embellies choices make this a real delight!

 Now for her second card she has worked with "Ribbon Rose" creating a pinkalicious masterpiece! I just love how that ribbon sparkles!!!

In the mood for a little Christmas?  Well then check out this yummy card created by Arielle using "Gingerbread Man with Buttons." She created this card for the monthly Christmas challenge at

The Crazy Challenge that TSB is sponsoring. The challenge was to use "no red or green" and it runs until October 15th, you can see all the details here.

Let's meet Jennifer

Hello! My name is Jennifer S. and THEY say I am a coffee addict...... I don't think so, but I do love coffee and pink and buttons and shabby/vintage and lace and trims and paper (especially Basic Grey!) and my family and my dogs and papercrafting! :) but really, I have been playing at this hobby/obsession for about 10 years now and loving every minute of it. I repurpose all kinds of things, so don't be surprised if you find a belt loop from one of my son's shorts or perhaps a button from my hubby's shirt or a tea tag from my morning cuppa somewhere on my creation! it's all about the fun and whimsy!

We are very excited to have Jen back as she was one of our original TSB designers back when the store first opened.  She has wonderful style that is all her own and knows how to pick the perfect papers/embellishments to compliment her image.  She has used "autumn boots" which can be found here.

Surf over to her blog Just Coffee Please...& Stamps, & Ribbons, & Paper to become a follower of her work!
