Bunnies and Blossom Banners for Kids Blog Hop~March 24 and 25

Day 2


Today and tomorrow (March 24-25), 30+fantastic paper crafters have come together to create Spring-themed banners.They will then donate these banners to Ellen (CardMonkey), who works asAdmissions Coordinator at Pediatric Specialty Care (PSC),www.pediatricspecialty.com. 


PSC is a long-term care facility for specialneeds 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. Here is the banner that I made and will be sending to Ellen to decorate a child's room:

Now for my Day 2 banner:
I created today's banner using a SVG pattern called Butterfly Fairies from Designs on Cloud 9, which can be found here.




We DO have a tasty bit of blog candy to thank you for visiting us today! What's the prize??! 

How about a beautiful handmade (courtesy of our Blog Hop Hostess, CardMonkey!) Cricut Cozy Covers?! Each one is individually styled in your pick of colors and embroidered words! These are RARE because CardMonkey does not make them for sale and she usually sticks to paper, not sewing!!

Disney Gives Back Blog Hop-March 12th-13th

Welcome to the Disney Gives Back Blog Hop. This wonderful blog hop was created out of a desire to give back to a wonderful organization called Crops of Luv. Throughout the hop, you will see layouts from talented crafters who have chosen to give back and help make these children's days brighter.


Crops of Luv makes albums for Make A Wish Albums for families who go to Disneyland or World. Please visit and support each crafter and also if you would like to make layouts for Crops of Luv you can do so by contacting.... Crops of Luv at http://www.cropsofluv.com.


If you came here from Amanda's Blog then you are in the right place. If you just happened upon this blog by email or web surfing, please go back to the beginning at http://www.blessedonthebrightside.com and visit the hop from the beginning. You don't want to miss out on any of these amazing layouts.

Here is a full list of the blogs you will be visiting:



Our grand prize blog candy is a set of Stamps from CardzTV Stamps set Encouraging Thoughts. This is one of my favorite stamp sets that Mary has made this far.


You get one entry for hopping with us and a 2nd entry if you make a 2 page layout for Crops of Luv and mail it. Post your layout to the Mr. Linky here then mail it to:
Crops of Luv
11424 S. Pawnee Circle
Phoenix AZ 85044

Now for my layout, I did a "Mickey" layout, who doesn't love the Mouse!
With lotsa room for photos!


I've been doing a lot of thinking about blog candy for this hop, and since this hop is all about giving back, I've decided to make a monetary donation of $20 to Crops of Luv in the winners name, 
so all you have to do is: 
1. Become a follower of my blog
2. Leave me a comment
3. Check out Crops of Luv on Facebook 


Now you are onto our next crafty friend Wendy
