Autism Awareness Blog Hop

Hello and welcome back. I am posting again today in hopes to bring more awareness to autism and autism research.  This fun group of talented paper crafters are creating projects to help bring information and awareness to you. Below you'll find links to the blogs in this Hop. Along this hop you'll find tons of fabulous ideas and a boatload of information surrounding autism.

My card today uses a fun new stamp set, Animal Outing from Stampin' Up! that will be available to purchase June 1st. This set was gifted to me at the most recent Stampin' Up! demonstrator event. Yep, I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and love this companies products. I find there is always a product to fit a specific need. I feel this stamp set is a perfect set to use for my card today.

ICYMI - April 2nd was World Autism Awareness Day and I was thrilled to participate in another blog hop to bring awareness to this important issue. You can check out that hop and those projects beginning here.

This hop is working in conjunction with the annual Fundraiser put on by Lee Conrey and will be just one of multiple hops bringing awareness to autism. How can you help?

Hello again! Welcome back to another Scrapbook Sunday blog hop. This event features a team of Stampin' Up! scrapbookers that blog hop the 3rd Sunday of every month and share exclusively scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! products. 

This month was a color challenge .. we were challenged to create a page with a pastel color look and feel. Stampin' Up!'s Soft Subtles collection is perfect for this challenge. Have you seen the latest promotion Stampin' Up! is offering?
