Welcome to the Annual Halloween Spooktacular Banner Hop for Special Needs Children!

 
Hi Everybody!
Welcome to the annual Halloween Spooktacular Banner Hop for Special Needs Children!
 
I am delighted to join with more than 3 dozen other women who have each made at least one Halloween-themed banner that will be donated to hang in the room of a medically-fragile child at Pediatric Specialty Care in Pennsylvania.
 
Our Hop Hostess (Ellen CardMonkey Jarvis) works at PSC’s Bucks County site as Admissions Coordinator. The Banner Hop starts there, so please be sure to circle back to the beginning to see all of the terrific banners have been made for these very special children.
 
Ellen shared this information with us about Pediatric Specialty Care:

“PSC is a very special place where children stay either long- or short-term, typically after hospitalization.  Most are dependent on ventilators and other technology to survive. Some have been born too early or with genetic diseases or birth injuries.  Other children suffer injuries later in life that require constant care later, including brain injuries from trauma or loss of oxygen (from choking, suffocation or drowning) and spinal cord injuries.
 
These children and their families -- and PSC’s staff -- will be thrilled to receive the Halloween banners, to help brighten the season when their friends and siblings will be out trick-or-treating.”
 
 
Here is the banner I am sending to a child at PSC:
 
*Pumpkin Carving Cricut cartridge
*Jaded Blossom - Boo sentiment, and pictures in between
banner pieces (Sneak Peek set!)
*Martha Stewart - spiderweb corner punch
*Stickles - silver, purple
 
 
 
 
*This cartridge has such cute images!  And was so easy to create this banner with!!
 
 





 
*It's hard to see, but this is glitter paper and it adds a lot to this cut.









 
*I added silver Stickles to this spiderweb :)




*Here is a picture of the stamps I used in between each banner piece:
