United As One

Hey Y'all!!!

Happy Tuesday and hope all is well!!! I am so excited today because I am a guest designer for Dana Joy/ Pococo Pam/ Hero Arts brand new stamp set United As One!!! I am sooooooooooo SOOOOO proud of these super wonderful ladies that I call my friends!! Here is the stamp set in all it's glory....CHECK IT!!

This is what the back of the stamp set says: 

Dana Joy, Pocono Pam and Hero Arts are excited to partner in a conscious effort to be intentionally diverse and inclusive. Crafters and cardmakers of color need to feel support, appreciation, and respect when expressing their values, experiences and skin tone in their work. We are celebrating this spirit through unity, and this collaboration is a pathway for everyone to see themselves in their art. We hope the United As One stamp set will encourage makers to become interested and committed to listening and learning from and about each other, and recognize we are all one, united creative community. 100% of net profits from this 6" x 8" stamp set will be donated to racial justice charities selected by Dana and Pam.

Did I mention that I am soooo excited to be a part of this?!?!?!? HA!!

Finally here is my card for the hop.....CHECK IT!!!!

BIG THANKS to Dana Joy, Pocono Pam and Hero Arts for this awesome opportunity!!
