Party Time Tuesdays - A Hop for Jen Scull

The stress of the past few weeks and getting things in order before my big trip led me to send out my PTT Anything Goes project before taking a picture of it!  Oye!  This week our challenge is ANYTHING GOES.  So please enter it at the Party Time Tuesday blog HERE.  

Anywho, there is another reason why I'm posting today... Our fellow Party Planner Jen Scull is battling cancer.  Here is what our owner, Jenn, has come up with and posted on the PTT blog:

"I am posting today to give each and every PTT fan an opportunity to help out one of our own, Party Planner Jen Scull.  As I am sure many of you are aware, Jen is battling cancer.  She has been bravely fighting since February of this year.  Fellow Party Planner Michelle Van Patten, Myself and our friend Katie Cotton (owner of Paper Make-up Stamps) has come up with a little something to help Jen Scull and her family.  Katie Cotton has so generously created a fabulous digi set called "Jen's Sunshine".  100%...yes ALL proceeds of the sales of this digital set will go directly to Jen and her family.

HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY:
Ever wanted to be part of a huge blog hop, but didn't belong to a team that hops (or maybe you don't belong to a team)?  Ever want a large amount of traffic to see your own personal blog?  Well, this is your opportunity to have your work exposed to lots and lots of fellow crafters.  Go to the PMS store HEREand purchase "Jen's Sunshine".  Email me atpartytimetuesdays@hotmail.com and let me know that you have purchased the digi set and would LOVE to be part of our blog hop.  Create a project featuring at least one of the items from the digital set.  On August 29th, we will hop in Jen Scull's honor.  There will be prizes and lots of fun! 

Here is the set you can purchase to help out Jen.  You get 2 images and 3 word art.

I sure do hope that many of you will participate in this worth while cause.  Jen has brought so many of us sunshine, now it is time for us to bring sunshine to Jen!

You can read more about Jen HERE."

The stamp set is soooo cute and I encourage everyone to buy it and participate.  We're going to have a lot of fun and some prizes! :) 

Can't wait to see what you guys create this week at Party Time Tuesdays!

Bubble Gum Party Favors

I made some bubble gum party favors for a very special gal!  I needed a lot and they needed to be quick with an orange and brown theme.  I came across Angi Judas Bunny Treat Holder and used the same concept, but had to adjust the sizes to fit the bubble gum.  Here's what I came up with:

Used SU framelit die and scored the card stock to fit some Bubble Yum.  I just used a circle punch with some retired SU paper and computer generated sentiment punched out with the modern label punch.  Some retired orange ribbon tops it off.  

Mmmm, BUBBLE YUM!  LOL.

Anywho, here is my project for this fortnight (you still have until the 15th to enter!):

Digi by Lia Stampz.  Inked with Copics.  Cut out with Spellbinders dies.  Inked edges with SU Crushed Curry ink.  The scraps of paper are all scrap SU paper that was cut down to 1", adhered together, and run through the Cuttlebug in the argyle folder.  Sentiment and ribbon by SU.
