Hi Everybody!

Welcome to the Back to School Blog Hop!  I'm so happy you could join me and my super talented Thankful Thursday Designers :O) For this month's hop, my designers and I wanted to go back to school.......ok, not really, but we did want to share projects with a back to school theme!  So here is the project I created:

 

 

*Campin' Critters Cricut cartridge - 3D backpack

*Prima - patterned paper

*Bugaboo Digital Stamps - Ava School Sign (cut the pencil out)

This month's theme is Back to School.  For my challenge project I used the suuuuuuuper cute digis from one of our beloved sponsors, Bugaboo Stamps.  You can check out their blog HERE, and their store HERE.  They have so many types of stamps, and one of my favorites are the pocket toppers!  Here is what I created for this month's challenge:

 

 

 

 

*Bugaboo Stamps - Kid Pocket Topper (Glasses Boy)

*Timeless Twine -  Black Coffee

*Copic Markers

*all cardstock from my scraps pile :)

*glossy accents (on his glasses)

*white gel pen for doodling

 

.

 

*What kid doesn't like goldfish in a cute bag when going back to school?!?

 

 

 

 

*I colored him with Copic markers, and added some paper strips.

*Then I used a border punch, some twine and voila!

 

 

 

*I also added some glossy accents to his glasses for added dimension :O)

Welcome to the Bunnies and Blossoms Banner Blog Hop!

Hi Everybody!
Welcome to the Bunnies and Blossoms Banner Hop for Special Needs Children!  Today and tomorrow (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 as Admissions Coordinator at Pediatric Specialty Care (PSC), www.pediatricspecialty.com.

PSC is a long-term care facility for special needs children who are medically-fragile and/or technologically-dependent. The babies, children and youths at PSC range in age from birth to 21, and are admitted from all over the country.

Some are infants, born prematurely and before their 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 made and will be sending to Ellen to decorate a child's room:

*Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge - banner base and circle layer

*digital stamps - Pixie Dust Studios (little boy, two bunnies, eggs in nest), Bugaboo (bunny holding flower, decorated egg), Meljen's Designs (chocolate bunny, happy bird)

*ribbon - Stampin' Up!

*Stickles - purple, yellow, blue, pink

*I used purple Stickles to decorate the background.

*I also used Stickles in various colors to add details to each of the stamps.  Here's how I did it on the little happy bird.

I really hope the kids will like my banner, and am so happy to be taking part in such a great hop for such an amazing cause!  Thank you Ellen for having me :O)
