Light it up Blue for Autism Awareness Blog Hop

Hello!

There is a fabulous Blog Hop underway at the moment that I just had to join in. It is the Light It Up Blue for Autism Awareness Blog Hop and has been organised by Veronica Zalis and Tenia Nelson for World Autism Awareness Day, which was yesterday 2 April 2015. Like many of you, I have friends on the spectrum, children of friends on the spectrum, and my kids have friends on the spectrum. Everyone's journey with autism is different, and it is often challenging. A little awareness and compassion from all of us can go a long way.

I didn't have the right blue for my card, but I made it as blue as I could. :-)

I used Avery Elle Thanks a Bunch and Modern Leaves stamps and did a little watercolouring in and around the images. Dies are Mama Elephant Femme Frames.

I'm also going to enter into Avery Elle's Challenge: Watercolour.

If you are in Australia and would like to learn a little more about autism or make a donation, you can check out Autism Awareness. In the US, Veronica and Tenia recommend Autism Speaks.

Thank-you for visiting.

Get Well Flowers

Hello!

If you were feeling ill, do you think a blue and green bunch of flowers would make you feel better? I'm not so sure, but my daughter loves this card, she thinks blue flowers are PERFECT, lol!

I used Avery Elle Thanks a Bunch stamps. Colours are PTI Hawaiian Shores and SU! Pool Party, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, and Pacific Point.

I'm entering this into the Avery Elle Colour Challenge.

I made another card using this stamp set just the other day. Now that I've made the blue version, I want to go back and remake this one. I was thinking of my Mum for Mother's Day with this one. I'm pretty sure Mum doesn't read my blog, so I should be safe sharing here. ;-)

I'm making torta pasqualina for dinner tonight. My favourite part of Easter food. The kids get their chocolate eggs. I get my spinach, egg, and ricotta pie. :-)

Thanks for visiting!
