Challenge #66 - It's a Garden Party!

Welcome to another Sentimental Sunday!

Before we start with today's challenge, we'd like to mention a special fundraiser that we would like to tell everyone about.  Kim Sherrod is having a fundraiser for her dear friend whose son was admitted to the hospital for heart problems. Kim is trying to raise money for her friend to be able to see her son, but it's not going well. Her friend is struggling financially and can't afford to make the trip.

She approached me about designing some stamps for her and I was glad to do so.  You can purchase the stamps in digi format or possibly as clear stamps, too by visiting THIS PAGE.  So if you can, please stop over and help her raise some money for a very worthy cause.  Next week, some of the Sentimental Sundays team members will be showcasing the stamps to inspire you to create using the images.

EDITED TO ADD

A note about this week's freebie:

Every other week, we'll be sharing freebie sentiments chosen by a member of the design team. These are some of their favorite sentiments! Sometimes they will match the theme, sometimes they won't, but I still hope you enjoy ALL them. This week the freebie is a set of three sentiments chosen by our design team member, Tammy Louise! Tammy Louise is such a pleasure to have on the team because not only is her enthusiasm contagious, but she is such a huge supporter of using Raindrop Echo Designs sentiments.  I am personally grateful to you Tammy Louise for your encouragement!

Sentimental Sundays Weekly Freebie:

Freebie sentiments are available for one week only.  For more sentiments like this, please visit the Raindrop Echo Designs Sentiments Collection at Whimsy Stamps.
