This is the second day in our Week of Whimsy feature. If you’ve just joined us, please scroll down a little and check out the first post: A Week of Whimsy: Day One where you can find some basic info on the company and a fabulous creation from one of the fabulous Quixotic Paperie DT members: Rowena.
Today I’d like to talk about a special image, one that is only available in digital format direct from Whimsy Stamps.
Recently, Paige Welch, a young girl from New Hampsire, was seriously injured in a boating accident. This child is the neighbor of Whimsy Stamps DT member Erin Bailey. Paige will be facing many months of recovery and many more medical bills.
In an effort to help, Whimsy Stamps has designed a special digital image in honor of Paige. “A Teddy for Paige” is now available for download. All proceeds from the sale of this image will go to Paige’s Account at Seacoast Credit Union in Exeter NH. And as an added bonus, a generous and kind Whimsy Stamps customer, Kathy Hom, has created a sentiment set to use with the image. All customers who purchase A Teddy for Paige from Whimsy Stamps will receive the sentiment PDF file as well.
My card has been created following this week’s Friday Sketchers layout, which I have a feeling I will be using again soon! The image has been coloured using Copics (list at the end), cut out and popped up on foam pads.
The papers and ribbon are from Stampin’ Up, and the Kraft cardstock is from Elzybells. Prima flowers are from one of the “Country Elegance” packs available at Quixotic Paperie.
In addition to the fundraising effort, Erin Bailey is also hosting a card drive for Paige. All the info is on her blog, so if you can spare the time to send a card for Paige, take a look and get in touch with Erin.
