Today, we are hopping in memory of our dear friend and fellow cardmaker, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who sadly passed away last year from a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer.
September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Lindsey’s husband Burke thought it would be a great time to sell off her many craft supplies, with all of the proceeds going towards Lindsey’s Legacy Fund for Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer Research in cooperation with The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
The purpose of this hop will be to honour Lindsey, celebrate her life and all that she loved, as well as help spread the word to raise funds for clear cell ovarian cancer research. You can help in one of several ways!
- Purchase a Flat Rate Mailer stuffed with loads of fabulous craft supplies. These can only be mailed within Canada and there will be no tax receipts provided with the purchase of these boxes. A box of craft supplies would make a great gift for yourself, a crafty friend or a child/classroom! For details about the boxes and how you can go about purchasing one, please email [email protected] with the message “Craft Box” or visit Lindsey’s original blog, Bashful Blogging. Every craft box purchase in September will be entered into a draw and one lucky winner will win a $100 gift certificate to Scrap ‘n Stamp.
- During the month of September, shop at Scrap ‘n Stamp using the code LINDSEY10 at checkout. You will get 10% off your purchase (sale items excluded) and Scrap ‘n Stamp will donate 10% of their proceeds to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund.
- Any donations over $15 made directly to Lindsey’s Legacy Fund will receive a digital tax receipt.
- Repost this hop on your social media and encourage others to share!
If you are here, you are at the end of Lindsey’s Legacy Hop! This hop is split into two portions: (a) a blog hop and (b) an Instagram hop. If you get lost along the way, please return to the full hop list below.

💙 Like and leave a comment at each stop
💙 Learn a little bit about Lindsey’s connection to that person
💙 Share this post and help us save lives
Lindsey and I talked a lot about being middle-aged women and all the trials that came along with it. We shared so many unpleasant symptoms and we joked that literally everything could be blamed on perimenopause. What I truly miss is being able to talk to Lindsey now that I’m in full menopause and, as you can see, this card was inspired by that.
One of the things I loved most about Lindsey was her sharp wit, loaded with snark. I, myself, am a very sarcastic person so we were always laughing and rolling our eyes! I’m certain she would’ve loved this card. I mean, come on! I seriously cannot believe all these stamps are retired though. Maybe Taylored Expressions needs to re-release them?
The panda, chick, wine, bottle and sentiment are from a set called Hot Flash Grumplings. The other four food items are from a set called Binge Worthy. Taylored Expressions has a whole line of grumplings and they’re all very funny and real-to-life. In fact, these exact panda and chick images are featured in these snarky calendar cards. My images were heat embossed and watercolored with TE Liquid Watercolor. The patterned paper is from an old Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month.
Since this is the final stop on the hop, you’ll start again on my blog post HERE. Please be sure to leave a comment at each of the stops where you can learn more about Lindsey’s life, loves and her legacy.
Thanks so much for hopping with us!
