Stamp and Create Tickled Pink Product Spotlight.

Heidi

I used 20's Evie from Lil' Lolita Tickled Pink. The paper is Grandma's Attic from TPC. I also used the medium doily from the Assorted Clothesline Doilies, Prima Rose Braided Lace, a small Prima Fairytale Rose, a  large prima flower, flower spacers, and Basic Grey opaline half pearls.

There is a fundraiser for Lacey's little friend Luke who is battling complications with Spinal Menilgiti. You can read about his story here and Lacey's card drive here.

Lacey purchased a special image called "Little Luke" as a fundraiser for Luke and his family (Luke likes Star Wars which is why she chose this image.

100% of the sale of this digital stamp will be donated to Luke's family to help with medical bills and travel expenses for his treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

You can purchase the image here, or by clicking in the image.
