Stampin' Out Alzheimer's

Last year, Jen Tapler established the Stampin' Out Alzheimer's event on her blog with one sponsor. Through Jen's hard work and efforts, this year her event has grown to a week long extravaganza with over 40 sponsors and fun challenges of every kind for papercrafters world- wide. A donation of $5 to the Alzheimer's Association is all it takes to become a part of this worthy event.

Kitchen Sink Stamps is so thrilled to be a part of this special community, joining together for this very important cause ... Stampin' Out Alzheimer's.

With Alzheimer's effecting a person's memory and this Monday being Memorial Day, Maria thought a fitting challenge would be remembering those who've touched our hearts.

For today's challenge, I decided to create an inside-out card to honor the close friendship I have with my sister, Liz! Being only 13 months apart, our mother often dressed us as twins during our early childhood as you can see in these cherished photos. We also always sported the same "do" be it bob, curls, or pony tails! Fun memories!

To create today's card I used:

Stamps: Pansy Multi Step Clear Stamps, Whole Family Clear Stamps,
Other Important People Clear Stamps, and Mix It Up! Clear Stamps by Kitchen Sink Stamps

Papers: Riding Hood Red, Certainly Celery, and US White by Stampin' Up, euphoria by BasicGrey

Inks: Riding Hood Red, Cranberry Crisp, Certainly Celery, and Kiwi Kiss by Stampin' Up

Embellishments: Ribbon, Rhinestones, clear atYou Spica pen, Dimensionals

Tools: Nestabilities, Martha Stewart Fern Punch, Mauvy Dimple Corner Punch, Sponge

Today you can see all of the Kitchen Sink Crew samples on the Kitchen Sink Weblog.

Our hope is that something we have created might inspire you to join us in the challenge and become a part of this wonderful event!
