Designer Dawn McVey has been an active part of the paper crafting industry for nearly a decade. Not only has she played an important role within the Papertrey community, she has always been a ray of sunshine to others through blogging and social media. Many of you are familiar with the personal health struggles she has had over the past few years, and might have seen the recent news that she is now a proud small intestine transplant survivor.
The community thought there would be no better way to honor Dawn and support her during her journey to recovery than to make a colorful, vibrant presentation of get well soon greetings. Dawn has always brought color and joy into our lives, and now we are able to do the same for her.
So here's to Dawn. May she find the strength on the hardest days. May she have peace through the recovery process. May she feel the love shining down on her from around the world.
If you would like to mail your creation to Dawn, you may use the address below.

I am so glad to see this support from Papertrey Ink. Dawn certainly is an inspiration in both her creativity and her faith in the Lord. God has blessed her in many many ways.
Susie Lessard says
I have read and followed Dawn’s journey and was so glad to see how the paper crafting community is coming together to bless her both in prayer and financial support. I don’t think anyone has any earthly idea the stress this has put on this lovely couple in so many ways. I am definitely going to create a card today and link it up. Then it’s going into the mail. My husband and I would be happy to donate as well. May the prayers of many be a sweet, sweet fragrance to the Lord on behalf of Dawn.

Not being on Social Media, I had no idea. So glad you’re doing this hop. Dawn has always been one of my favorite designers which is obvious when I look at how often her sets were the ones I bought. Sending her love & wishing her strength. Will definitely make her a card.

Thank you so much for doing this. I am continually amazed by Dawn’s resilient, positive outlook.

Susie Lessard says
Papertrey Ink was the first company I purchased stamp sets from back in 2008. I’ve learned so much through the talented and skilled design work of the Papertrey Ink team. I’ve followed each of the designers quietly, and loving every thing I saw.
But… I have never been as touched by someone’s health trial as I have Dawn McVey’s. I remember wondering what in the world was wrong, and whatever it was it was becoming more serious, until I read recently what had happened. I can’t even imagine. Dawn’s steadfast faith through this has been an inspiration to many. I hope every card, every wish, every prayer lifts her spirits and let’s her know how much we in the paper crafting community wish her a well and speedy recovery to renewed health.
Hlee says
Love this. I hope Dawn gets to see all these wonderful cards.
