SUPER SATURDAY PLUS HEALTHY HEART FUNDRAISER AT LITTLE MISS MUFFET!

Today is a very special day as we've not only combined the Super Saturday post with some awesome Guests, but we have a very special fundraiser going on too!  Barbara's (she's our awesome owner) daughters, Cassandra and Lydia, are participating in a "Jump Rope for Heart" activity at their school where kids learn jump rope skills and raise money for the American Heart Association

Learning about a healthy heart at school really hit home for her girls because it came with a connection to a few close family members.  For example, their cousin Ryker had open heart surgery when he was only 6-months-old!  He is now a teen and doing great!  He loves many activities including photography and was the inspiration for a new image Barbara has drawn for today... meet Polka Dot Pals Ryker.

This image is available in the Little Miss Muffet Stamp store but the best part about him is you can also help Barbara's daughters in their fundraiser!  How, you might ask?  There are two ways!  First, for every PDP Ryker purchase, LMMS will donate $2.00 to Cassandra and Lydia's fundraiser!  Secondly, you can also donate directly on the American Heart Association website to their individual fundraiser page by visiting these links:  Casssndar's Donation Page and Lydia's Donation Page.

But wait, there's more!  That's not the only image you'll get in the package - there are two other very special images.  Those two were drawn and colored by Cassandra and Lydia themselves!  They've entered their artwork into the T-shirt Design Contest for next year's Jump Rope for Heart.  Maybe they'll win, maybe they won't, but the fun was in creating and now you can create with them too!  Both colored and uncolored versions are included.

Thank you for being a part of this fundraiser and we hope you can take action to have a healthy heart even if it isn't via jump rope.  Spread the word and share your creations online in the current LMMS Challenge and/or in the FaceBook LMMS Group too!  Looking for other activity based stamps to play with this weekend?  Then you might also enjoy these other Little Miss Muffet Stamps that feature heart healthy activities such as bicycling, sports, winter fun, playing and even house cleaning!  Oh yeah!

I have made a card with Polka Dot Pals Ryker which you can find at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored him with Copics and Atyou Spicas and cut out with Nestie.  I added SU buttons and bling-y stars from Jolee's Boutique.  Papers are from my stash and sentiment is from Cardz TV and cut with Sizzix die.  I sure hope you will purchase this little guy for this great cause!


I have also made a creation using Swings 'n Slides Snow Buds for Super Saturday and you can find it at a discounted price this week at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I have colored this awesome rubber stamp with Copics and Sakura pens and cut out with Lifestyle Crafts die.  I chose Echo Park DP and Coredinations and SU CS.  Snowflake dies from Joy! Crafts and snowflake stickers from Jolee's Boutique.  Sentiment is from MFT and cut out with Lifestyle Crafts die.
