Lindsey's Legacy Hop

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

Thanks for stopping by to check out this special blog hop in honour of our beloved Sister Lindsey. 

Today, we are hopping in memory of our dear friend and fellow cardmaker, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who sadly passed away last year from a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. 

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Lindsey’s husband Burke thought it would be a great time to sell off her many craft supplies, with all of the proceeds going towards Lindsey’s Legacy Fund for Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer Research in cooperation with The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

The purpose of this hop will be to honour Lindsey, celebrate her life and all that she loved, as well as help spread the word to raise funds for clear cell ovarian cancer research.  You can help in one of several ways!

1. Purchase a Flat Rate Mailer stuffed with loads of fabulous craft supplies.  These can only be mailed within Canada and there will be no tax receipts provided with the purchase of these boxes.  A box of craft supplies would make a great gift for yourself, a crafty friend or a child/classroom!  For details about the boxes and how you can go about purchasing one, please email lindseyslegacyfund@rogers.com with the message "Craft Box" or visit Lindsey’s original blog, Bashful Blogging.  Every craft box purchase in September will be entered into a draw and one lucky winner will win a $100 gift certificate to Scrap ‘n Stamp.

2. During the month of September, shop at Scrap ‘n Stamp using the code LINDSEY10 at checkout.  You will get 10% off your purchase (sale items excluded) and Scrap ‘n’ Stamp will donate 10% of their proceeds to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund.

3. Any donations over $15 made directly to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund will receive a digital tax receipt.

4. Repost this hop on your social media and encourage others to share!

Longtime followers of The Sisterhood already know what a joy Lindsey was to so many of us.  Her wit, intelligence and creativity brought so much light into our lives and she is dearly missed. 

Today we are hosting our own little Happy Hour in honor of Lindsey who did love a good cocktail.  There won't be a gallery however we will be back tomorrow with our regularly scheduled programming.  

Here's what I made for the hop - please join us in raising a glass and a heartfelt cheers to our beloved snarky sister.

Shite I used to make this card:

• Black and white cardstock (Recollections)
• Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Mustard Seed distress oxide inks (Tim Holtz)
• Margarita blending stencil (Picket Fence)
• Confetti Dots turnaround stencil (Concord & 9th)
• Small Talk Snarky sentiment sticker (Tim Holtz)

As always, and especially for this one, we would love for you to play along and join the sisterhood of snarky stampers.
