Welcome to the UStamp with Dawn and Friends!! World Showcase Blog Hop. Are you excited to be here? I know I am! I’m very excited to be part of this and to show you the project I created.
If you have been following the Blog Hop from the beginning, you have just come from Marisol’s blog. What did you think of that cute Scratch & Sniff card? Wasn’t that a fun summer card?
If you are just joining the Blog Hop, no problem as you can start at any point. All the Designer’s Blogs are linked together so you will be able to see ALL the super projects we have for you. At the bottom of each post there are links to the previous and next blog.
For my project I decided to use the Strength & Hope stamp set in the Summer Mini Catalog. Remember if you purchase this stamp set (or the digital download) Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 from your purchase to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Stampin’ Up! started their Making a Difference Program in 2003 and partnered with the Ronald McDonald House Charities which continues today. Stampin’ Up! has partnered with various other organizations over the year in an effort to make a difference in the world around us.
Now here is my project which will surely inspire you….
I have had this luminary idea in my mind for several weeks and it came together just beautifully don’t you think?
It is soft and inspirational. I remember when I walked in the Relay for Life for my mom (she had Colon Cancer) we had luminaries surrounding the track as we walked. That has been a handful of years ago but I always think of those luminaries and they gave me the inspiration to make one with this stamp set. These would be beautiful on all the tables at a fundraiser event. Here is another view of the front –
Of course it’s ***FREE*** to join and there you will find the tutorials for all the blog hop projects,PLUS live chats, challenges and more prizes!!
You will even have an opportunity to be considered for a spot as a Guest Designer!!
Yes!! It is all FREE, so tell all your friends and join the fun with UStamp with Dawn and Friends!!
AND last but certainly not least, please hop on over to NEXT BLOG where you will find Jen with a scrapbook layout and card featuring the Playful Polka Dots Simply Scrappin’ Kit.

Monica: I love this luminary idea. It’s beautiful and so appropriate today as a very good friend just placed in the hospice center and is in a coma.
My prayers are out to all persons who have friends and family with cancer.
I will have to try and make this one-what a lovely gift.

Very pretty with the butterfly just “hoovering”..

Monika, I love the luminary. My sister in law was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last October, just before her birthday. She is doing pretty good. Finished her chemo and now receiving radiation therapy. We pray that she continues to do well. I think I will have to make one of these for her. I’m pretty sure she would enjoy it. Thanks for sharing this beautiful creation.
Absolutely beautiful! I love the idea of table luminaries. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Such a thoughtful project. Another reason to get this stamp set!
Your project is wonderful and it would be very fitting to incorporate into Relay for Life. In fact we have a dinner coming up for the committee members and I think I will make some of these for that occasion. Thank you for sharing.

What a great project. Thanks for sharing.
beautiful craftwork… I too walk for the Relay for Life in Perth Western Australia..for those who have no-one to walk for them..
Now I know what to do with all my coasters!
Great idea, I would like to give it a try. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Blessings, LM
This is probably the best luminary I have seen! I love the fact the sides are seperate and just tied with ribbon rather than folded cardstock…thanks for the idea. 🙂

Beautiful Monika.
Thanks for sharing.
So cool, I’m definitely going to try this one!
LOVE your luminary. I, too, have lost family members to cancers – my sister Jackie to thyroid cancer, my brother Tim to Lung cancer, and my niece Dana to thyroid cancer. I can imagine how that track looked with all the luminaries as you did your walking for a cure. I love this beautiful butterfly in this set and the hope it represents. txjennywren.blogspot.com
