I am so honored to be able to sponsor this week's challenge. I am hopelessly addicted to anything to do with paper, stamps, ink, all of the big girl toys. I started stamping in July 2007 but didn't get very serious about it until I discovered Splitcoast Stampers. After that, it was all over with. My style is just about anything depending on what's in front of me. I currently hostess the Featured Stamper Challenge at SCS every Sunday, design for Flourishes Stamps Bring Back Beautiful, and the Clean and Simple Stamping Blog (Fall to Layout). I've had the privilege to work with the finest designers in the industry being on various design teams and am heavily published. I love to inspire and share my work with others and I hope that you'll visit me sometime at my blog. <b>I am so thrilled to be able to provide this week's prize of 2 A Muse sets for CAS-ual Friday's TGIF Club winner.</b> I have 4 wonderful kids and 1 daughter-in-law&nbsp; and live in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your challenge this week.&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And now its time for our inspiration parade!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><img alt="CFC36 - Lets Chat" height="320" src="http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/74004199/sn/302134535/name/CFC36+-+Lets+Chat.jpg" width="240" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://karolyns-paperkraft.blogspot.com/">Karolyn Loncon</a><br /><br /><img alt="CFC36-Julie Ranae" height="245" src="http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/74004199/sn/1611287866/name/GEDC0280.jpg" width="320" /><br /><a href="http://juliesopenwindow.blogspot.com/">Julie Ranae</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I met many of my scrappy friends while teaching&nbsp;classes at my local scrapbook store.&nbsp; When the store&nbsp;was sold&nbsp;about 2 years ago, I wanted to find a way to continue teaching these classes.&nbsp; I did some research and found Ippity-and I'm so glad that I did!&nbsp; I love that these stamps are the best quality out there, they're made in the USA, and they have the best designs anywhere!&nbsp; I now get to share my love of stamping and my love of Ippity by teaching workshops, blogging about my creations, and sharing Ippity through my Etsy shop.&nbsp; Being a kindergarten teacher and a mom&nbsp;of two teenagers, I sometimes find it hard to&nbsp;enjoy "me time", but when I do, you can usually find me stamping!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;

PaperTemptress.com also carries the largest selection of Copic Coloring cardstock anywhere including the very, very popular Cryogen White, Heavenly White in 3 weights, and Neenah in several colors. &nbsp;&nbsp;No matter what weight, color, or finish you are looking for to make amazing CAS-ual designs, you will find it at <a href="http://papertemptress.com/">PaperTemptress.com</a>.</div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;

&nbsp;I am creating stamps that you can use for anyone...think of them as "unisexy" stamps. &nbsp;All the designs are a project of my own quirky design style and sense of humor, as well as a reflection of the boys and men I have had the privilege to know and love. &nbsp;I hope you enjoy TradeFish Designs stamps and create wonderful &nbsp;projects for the people you care about.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Our TGIF winner will receive 2 fabulous sentiment sets valued at $30!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">But wait!

It's all due to medication she took as a child that left her teeth in an irreparable condition. &nbsp;A few weeks ago, Julie Ranae had to have emergency oral surgery resulting in the removal of her front teeth.&nbsp; The dentist at that time believed the best course of action would be to remove the rest of her teeth and replace them with permanents to avoid *years* of ongoing dental work that would just end in the same result. &nbsp;Relieved at finding a solution, she visited the office for dental surgery that week.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #0f243e; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">&nbsp;Unfortunately, it wasn't the visit she was expecting.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #0f243e; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">After the consultation, and scheduling the surgery, the surgeon's office informed her that she would need to bring $4000 back to the appointment with her before they would proceed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #0f243e; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">This amount would not include the 'dentures' to follow.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #0f243e; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">There is no payment plan as she was initially led to believe, and insurance will not cover any of it.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Here Julie is today, sitting without front teeth that were pulled with the belief that they would be replaced immediately. &nbsp;It has been painful both physically and emotionally for her. It is an overwhelming experience for our dear friend and one that I hope our creative community can help&nbsp;with.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">&nbsp;Hearing this and wanting to do something to help our dear friend, Nicole from Sweet Stamp Shop created this blog hop. &nbsp;When Julie heard what was being planned, she was so touched that she insisted on "working for it" &nbsp;and has help organize not only the hop but also the amazing prize donations from dozens of paper crafting companies now totaling over $2500. &nbsp;These prizes will be distributed randomly to those of you who hop along and leave comments, as well as to those of you who choose to help by donating.</span></span></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #0f243e; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><i>Any amount is appreciated and there is a PayPal donation button set up on our sidebar.</i></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #0f243e; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><i><br /></i></span><br />While this is a benefit hop, its also a hop about friendship and the importance of being there for one another especially when one of us really needs it. &nbsp;Whether you are a personal friend, a blogger friend, a follower of her blog or just someone who can appreciate what its like to feel trapped within a personal struggle, I hope you will help if you can :) &nbsp;Whether its $1, $5 or more, every little bit helps and I promise is truly appreciated .<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #0f243e; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Because it's a special week, we of course have a special challenge inspired by Julie Ranae.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Gn8_4fv9o4/Top60Yg95RI/AAAAAAAAB9Q/I-ivhZvoWgs/s1600/FotoFlexer_Photo-CFC23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Gn8_4fv9o4/Top60Yg95RI/AAAAAAAAB9Q/I-ivhZvoWgs/s320/FotoFlexer_Photo-CFC23.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">CFC23: Inspiration challenge. &nbsp;Create a Clean And Simple project using the quote as your inspiration OR use the quote as your sentiment.</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Please say hello to our fantastic sponsor!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://thecraftsmeowshop.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VaRpxg9Skgk/ToSqY3q5lRI/AAAAAAAAB8o/Q9vfvJEnlbI/s320/TCMBadge.png" width="247" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"></span><br /><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">Hello and welcome to&nbsp;<b>The Craft's Meow</b>!
