Banners For Kids: Bunnies and Blossoms Mar 24 & 25

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 care in a home-like environment -- many for their lifetimes.Our banners are meant to cheer the young patients, their families, and the staff at PSC.
If you arrived here from Nancie's Blog then you are in the right place. If you just happened to find my blog by accident and would like to HOP along please go to  Ellen ♥ CardMonkey; Blog to start at the beginning.. Here is the banner that I made and will be sending to Ellen to decorate a child's room

For my banner I used an Easter theme, Bunnies Baskets and Colorful Eggs.

 

Cartridges :  Paper Dolls for Everyday, Easter 2010, Sophisticated
 All the papers and Card Stock are from my stash
Inked everything with Martha steward inks Used pop dots to pop the letters up Narrow satin ribbon in pink lavender and cream for the bow on the basket and lavender to tie the pieces together.
Hope you enjoy my project would love to hear your thoughts!

 Please stop back tomorrow when the following women will be posting their banners:
CardMonkey Ashley Pam Rachelle Jessica Nancie Tami Susan Beckie Jamie Vicki Robin Jennifer Alina Debbie Lisa Cindy 
And now for your blog candy.... drum roll, please........
I DO have some blog candy to thank you for visiting us today! What's the prize??!

How about one of these beautiful handmade (by me, CardMonkey!) Cricut Cozy Covers?! Each one is individually styled in your pick of colors and embroidered words! These are RARE because I do not make them for sale and I don't sew that often! 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, 'cause ... like I said ... I really don't sew that often! It's PRICELESS!! 2. Follow and comment on the CardMonkey blog ... Leave a comment for me here and let me know if your name is picked, what 2 accent colors you'd like on your Cricut Cozy Cover, and what 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 me to contact you if your name is picked.

Which came first - scrapbooking or stamping blog hop 3/2

Welcome to the "Which Came First Scrap booking or Stamping" Blog Hop.!
 This one is all about what came first for us - and how we all started in this craft. So this blog hop will be all about what you started with and why! If you have arrived here from Vicky's then you are on the right course. If you just  happened along by accident and want to join the fun then hop on over to Lynda's to start at the beginning!
 I started with Scrap booking when I was in High School nearly 50 years ago. I was given a camera by my parents for Christmas one year and that was my very meager beginnings. Stamping came much, much, much,  did I say much later like only very recently say within the past year or so.
Here is a Picture of my first scrap book ( now don't laugh it wasn't an art back in the day)

It continued on like this for a long time, The black paper and photo corners gave way to Sticky pages with a film cover ( I don't have any of those to show because I had to remove the pics I had so they would not get destroyed. 

Then in the 90's ( that was a very long period of  time ) My daughter introduced me to Creative Memories and Scrap booking became an adventure! All that paper ( I'm a paper hoarder big time ) and glue and stickers WOW.

 To say the least I was overwhelmed with all the stuff and I take forever to complete a page  I have one or two that need to be completed and many pictures to scrap. 

I created this page and a companion one and it only took like 2 years to complete and then again not sure it is complete LOL 

  My latest paper adventure  is  into the world of mini albums. I have a couple started and in some phase of development ( same problem too much stuff to chose from) This particular one is going   to my  Aunt who will be 90 this month!

My love of paper has recently gone digital and that is loads of fun and I don't take as long to complete a page. Here is my latest project

As for stamping well that is a very recent interest, It started with sentiments and has now progressed to images and coloring. I am a real novice at it!
Well I hope you enjoyed your journey through my  scraping life Would love to to read your comments
Your next stop on your journey  is the very talented  Lisa  I am certain she has something truly awesome to share with you.Thanks again for stopping by
