Preview Day 1: Hope is Faith and Hang in There!

Welcome to our first day of previews of the 8 new stamp sets for February's release by GinaK Designs! For the next four days, we'll be showcasing 2 stamp sets each night on our blogs leading up to the big Release Party over on SCS on Thursday night! I hope you'll be able to join us for the fun - both on our blogs this week as well as at the party!

The first stamp set we're revealing tonight is a very special one that Gina designed called Hope is Faith.

The Hope is Faith mini stamp set will retail for $9.95. It was created to raise money for the Red Cross to help with the devastation in Haiti. $2.00 of every purchase of this stamp set will be sent directly to the Red Cross throughout the month of February.

As the first responders to disasters around the world, the Red Cross is there to help with the basic needs of these people who have suffered so much. By purchasing this mini set, you will help to make a difference to people who are desperate by supporting an organization that works tirelessly to feed, clothe, comfort and care for those in need.

Theresa Momber also designed a beautiful digital paper pack called Wings of Hope. Check out her blog for more information on how these papers will also benefit the relief fund for Haiti.

My son Isaiah loves frogs, so I had to use this image first -

The fun things about frogs is that they can be almost any color, can't they?
