Hop for Lauryn

     Thank you so much for stopping by during this blog hop for Little Lauryn!  Here is a card I created using one of the digital images, that were so graciously donated as a fund raiser for the Lot of Love for Lauryn Card drive.

     My card was created using a digital image donated by Clair Keay of Jellypark, and it will be sent to Lauryn this week. Other things used to make my card were as follows:

White card stock
Designer paper by Doodlebug Design - Kraft in Color
Floral Oval dies from Spellbinders
Pretty in Pink ink from SU!
Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon
Prima mini flowers from Got Flowers?
mini pearls, and a cute word medallion

     Just for leaving a comment on this blog post, you will have a chance at winning a $25 gift card from Michael's!  All comments must be in by 12 noon on Friday April 18th.  I will choose a winner that evening.

    

  

Isn't this little girl just precious? Let me introduce you....
Lauryn was diagnosed with Leukemia on March 27, 2014. She is currently hospitalized in the DC area undergoing chemotherapy to fight this terrible disease.  Lauryn is Linda Payne's granddaughter...many of you in the stamping community probably already know sweet Linda!

As news of Lauryn's illness spread via social media, many of you have asked if there is anything you can do to help, so we have come up with a plan. We decided to have a Card Drive and would like to invite YOU to help by sending "happy mail" to Lauryn and her family.

Please create cards to share your love and encouragement for Lauryn and her family. Lauryn's parents are Josh and Elizabeth and she has two older siblings: Lily and Logan. We thank the Lord for this dear family and need to pray for them as they are seeking to glorify the Lord throughout this trial. 

Cards can be mailed to:

Children's National
Hematology/Oncology RM 437
Lauryn Newsome
111 Michigan Ave NW
Washington DC 20010

You can find updates on Lauryn via a Facebook page that has been set up by some family. It is Fight on Little Lauryn. They have shared how encouraging it is receive a simple "like" on a Facebook status or words of love and encouragement that is posted.

Here is the fabulous group of bloggers who have joined us in promoting this Card Drive. We would love for you to hop with us as numerous bloggers have blog candy and all you need to do is leave a comment... 

Lots of Love for Lauryn
