Digis for Katie~Please Help a Crafty Friend!

Hi Everyone!
Today I am sharing about my friend Katie Renz. She is a young wife and mother of 3 adorable boys, who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. She is such a sweet soul and is loved by many. Some of her crafty friends have gotten together to help raise funds for her and her family to offset some of their medical expenses and to let them have some fun family time together.
Firstly, let me show you my card for Katie then I hope you will scroll to the bottom to see how you can help, while getting some awesome digis for yourself.


I illustrated the stamp set that this card was made with especially for Katie with this card in mind.
The image was watercolored and chalked.
The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.


Here is the entire set that I designed for Katie.


Now for the some of details about how you can help. 
Katie's friend Jak came up with the awesome idea for some of Katie's Illustrator friends to each create a stamp set to donate for Katie's cause. Some people who don't really even know her offered up some too, out of the kindness of their hearts.
Jak has decided to bundle all 16 of them together and sell them for just $23!!!

I told my friend Patricia from The Paper Temptress about it and she wants to help too. Everyone who buys the set gets entered into a drawing for lots of beautiful paper packs!

If you would like to know more about Katie and her new journey, she has been eloquently sharing on her blog.
To go see all of the beautiful digi sets and get the details, visit Jak's blog.


I am entering this card in lots of challenges in hopes of spreading the word that much more. Here are the ones I have entered:
Sentimental Sundays ~ "Anything With Wings"
Aly's  Sunday ~ "Things With Wings"
My Time To Craft ~ "Up in The Air"
Paper Play ~ "Clean and Simple"
Stamp Something ~ "Digi Days"
Cupcake Craft ~ "Something New" (the digi I created for Katie is new and the card is for the new journey she is faced with)
Stamp Scrap and Doodle ~ "New Beginnings" (the digi I created for Katie is new and the card is for the new journey she is faced with)
Secret Crafter ~ "Tons of Texture"
Rainbow Lady ~ "It's All New to Me" (the digi I created for Katie is new and the card is for the new journey she is faced with)
Stampin' B's ~ "An Old Favorite Plus Something New" (The old favorite is the White Diamond paper. The new is the image I created for Katie)
CES ~ "All Creatures Great and Small

I would love a quick comment before you go so I will know how many people are headed over to help our Katie.

Big hugs,
True :D
