Welcome to the Bunnies and Blossoms Banner Hop for Special Needs Children.
Yesterday and Today (March 24-25), 30+fantastic papercrafters have come together to create Spring-themed banners.They will then donate these banners to Ellen (CardMonkey), who works asAdmissions Coordinator at Pediatric Specialty Care (PSC),
www.pediatricspecialty.com.
PSC is a long-term care facility for specialneeds children who are medically-fragile and/or technologically-dependent. Thebabies, children and youths at PSC range in age from birth to 21, and areadmitted from all over the country.
Some are infants, born prematurely and beforetheir lungs have had a chance to mature. Others have serious birth defects,illnesses or injuries from accidents that cause them to need tender loving carein a home-like environment — many for their lifetimes.
Our banners are meant to cheer the youngpatients, their families, and the staff at PSC. Here is the banner that I madeand will be sending to Ellen to decorate a child’s room:
I cut everything with my new Cameo…
I read someone’s tip on using a straw to string the ribbon. It made it a million times easier! see the straw in between the two layers???
I used some stickler on the flowers, and colored them with copies…
I designed the bunnies all by my self in the Cameo software! I used goggly eyes and hand drew the nose on………Gotta love goggly eyes!
We DO have a tasty bit of blog candyto thank you for visiting us today! What’s the prize??!
How about a beautiful handmade (courtesy of our Blog Hop Hostess, CardMonkey!) Cricut Cozy Covers?! Each one is individually styled in your pick of colors and embroidered words! These are RARE because CardMonkey does not make them for sale and she usually sticks to paper, not sewing!!
To qualify, there are two steps: 1. Comment on as many Bunny & Blossoms Blog Hop blogs as you wish — the more blogs on which you comment, the more chances you have to win. There will only be one winner, picked at random by Random.Org.
2. Follow and comment on the CardMonkey blog … Leave a comment on our Hop Hostess’s site (http://cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com) and let her know if your name is picked, what 2 accent colors you’d like on your Cricut Cozy Cover, andw hat text you’d like embroidered (up to 3 lines). You MUST be a follower of the CardMonkey blog to win and you MUST leave a way for her to contact you if your name is picked.
Crafty Card Gallery is an iPhone app (works on iPad and iPod Touch) that is also available for Android Phones. It is a card gallery for handmade cards. You can follow great designers, and look for ideas. It’s updated monthly so there’s always new great content for you… Almost 800 cards, and growing every month!
I will select on winner randomly from all followers that comment this weekend to get a clear stamp and some stickers and a free copy of the iPhone app. Winner will be selected 3/27.
