Frozen Pea Fund does outreach to help generous souls talk about both cancer and the fund, thus raising awareness, spirits, and funding. Here are some artist stamps to support the effort Download georges_pesstampfpf0108fullsheet.pdf and some ideas: http://susanreynolds.blogs.com/artistampwhat/

From the blog:

"Rubber stamp on it. Collage papers around it. Put on fabric and quilt or add buttons shaped like peas. Adorn with ribbons. Make it into a pendant by transferring it to clay. As long as you don't use it in a commercial product you've got permission to use it freely!

We would love to see what you've done when you create your book mark, journal cover, tote bag, or even the bill payment for the Electric company So please put a link to your creations in the comments area. And most important of all - Enjoy . .  and pass it on!

Peas out!
