You're a RockStar!

I made this card in honor of a friend who has fallen on some difficult times. She is forever in my heart and always on my mind! I am honored to be contributing to this Project RockStar Blog Hop both as a friend and as a fellow HO of Gabriela Arriaza.



Paper Makeup has produced this wonderful Digi Stamp drawn by their talented illustrator, Cynthia Liu .  I urge you to go over there and grab one for yourself by clinking on the link above! Besides being a super-cool addition to your collection, 100% of the proceeds for your purchase of it and the two sentiments in the collection will be donated to the Arriaza Family.

It was an incredibly humbling experience to make a card for someone whose sheer talent you are in awe of. Gabby is such an impressively talented artist in her own right, that is was difficult for me to produce something that I could be proud of  in honor of her. Luckily, this incredible stamp made it alot easier for me to create a card for someone who is a true RockStar! Love ya Gabby-Green-Eyes!

Now that you've seen my creation, please hop over to ROBIN'S BLOG, and see the terrific card she has created to honor our lovely friend!

I have entered this card into the following challenges in an effort to further inspire people to help the Arriaza Family. I am not an agent of Paper Makeup Stamps, & will not receive any compensation.
