Helping a Friend...


Every once in awhile, it's nice to help out a friend. Not because you feel an obligation. Not because the friend has asked. Not even because the friend has suffered a tragedy. Just because sometimes, we all need a little bit of support. This is one of those times. Someone near and dear to many of us, is in a rough patch. And together, we can help. We can help her push thru this struggle. We can help her get thru this!

This person, is our friend (and design team member) Gabby Arriaza. Gabby and her family have come upon a hardship that is proving to be more than they can handle on their own. You can read more about it on her blog.

Gabby has been a bit too proud to ask anyone for help but this is our Gabby! We simply cannot sit idly by and let our dear friend face all of this alone.

Since Gabby is one of the rockinest stampers out there, I spoke with Cynthia about designing a rockstar moody girl. Whats fun about this digi is also that she is the only moody available as a digi stamp! Gabby herself has also supplied some word art and we have another digi sentiment available.
These sales will all go directly to the Arriaza family.

We all thank you for time and time again helping us to help others.




You can click on each name to be taken directly to them in our webshop.

The team has really pooled together and created some outstanding samples for you!

Katie, this is so incredibly wonderful. Gabby is one of my favorite blogging friends, and I feel like she's one of my "soul sisters" even though we've never really met. I have been thinking about the Arriaza family and praying for them, and trying to think of ways to help them! You are wonderful for doing this, and I will definitely be helping out by purchasing these digi stamps as well!

Ok...I seriously need some freakin' tissues! I'm all blubbering along the way. Even my kids were concerned at why I was crying...lol. I swear...this is just...I can't even come close to expressing my feelings. I feel there's not enough thanks in the world to express this amazing gesture. To you it might be "something small the stamping community can do" but to me...God there's no boundaries at where this starts and ends...that's how big this is for me. I need a thesaurus to find more way of saying...THANKS! Thanks for just being there...the fundraiser images are even more than I could have asked for. From the bottom of my heart...we at the Arriaza household send blessings to ALL who have been there for us. HUGS...I {heart} my PMS girls!

Ok...now off to drink some tea to calm this crying...lol.
