SoSS #252 - L is for Lindsey

 

Best wishes & warmest regards snarky pals!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

This month we are honouring our beloved Sister Lindsey who passed away in July of 2022. 

It's so difficult to think that we lost her 2 years ago already.

We hope that you will join us in our ode to Lindsey, we want to see something inspired by her, or something that she made. You can check out her crafty creations here on her BLOG.

I made a few graduation cards based on THIS CARD of Lindsey's:

Here are the cards I made, one for an elementary school grad (yay Adrian!!), one for a high school grad (yay Theo!!) and one for Master's grad (yay Srin!!)

As always (and especially for this challenge) we would love for you to join the sisterhood.

You can find all the details for the challenge on the SoSS Blog.

While you are there, please share some crafty love and comments with our reigning Queen of Snark and the rest of the sisterhood.

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.

Thanks for stopping by to check out this very special challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

This one is close to our hearts and we hope that you will join us and play along.

We lost our wonderful and dear sister Lindsey one year ago this week.

We miss her dearly and wanted to find a way to honour the person and crafty sister she was to us, so we bring you L is for Lindsey.

We want your project to somehow reflect or be inspired by Lindsey.

You can check out her blog Bashful Blogging to see some of her amazing crafy work. 

Some of the many things I admired about Lindsey were her sense of whimsy, her amazing colouring skills, her love of lawn fawn critters and teeny tiny die cuts as well as who she was as a person; lovely, sweet, funny and genuinely a rainbow on a cloudy day.

Cheers sister!
