Bunnies and Blossoms Banner Hop

Welcome to the Bunnies and Blossoms Banner Hop for Special Needs Children.

Yesterday and Today (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 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. Thebabies, children and youths at PSC range in age from birth to 21, and areadmitted from all over the country.

Some are infants, born prematurely and beforetheir 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 madeand will be sending to Ellen to decorate a child's room:

I cut everything with my new Cameo...

I read someone's tip on using a straw to string the ribbon.  It made it a million times easier!  see the straw in between the two layers???

I used some stickler on the flowers, and colored them with copies...

I designed the bunnies all by my self in the Cameo software!  I used goggly eyes and hand drew the nose on.........Gotta love goggly eyes!

I used the free font from Lettering Delights to spell Joy - http://www.letteringdelights.com/alphabet:girl_power-7913.html  and I put some stickles on the letters....
