Love Bugs Banner Hop~For Special Needs Kids January 6 & 7

 Welcome to Day 2 of Love Bugs Banner Hop!





Welcome to the “Love Bugs Banners for Kids” Hop.


Forty very talented crafty people have come together for a two day hop (Friday, January 6th and Saturday, January 7th) to showcase handmade banners that will be donated to the children at Pediatric Specialty Care. The hope of these banners is that they bring smiles to these children's faces and awareness of Pediatric Specialty Care to all those that hop along.

The “Love Bugs Banner for Kids” Hop has some awesome sponsors and prizes to give away to all those that hop along and leave comments. The more blogs you visit and leave comments at, the more chances you have of winning. That means if you hop through all 20 blogs each day and leave a comment on each blog then you are in the drawing 40 times!

Our Generous Sponsors are:

Jellypark Digital Stamps will award 2 free digi-images to one winner.

K Andrews Designs has donated a stamp set to one winner.

Robyn's Fetish will donate FIVE digital images of the winner's choice as a prize!

Now on with the hop....If you have come from (Monica's) then you are on the right track but if you have come here by chance – great! but please start from the beginning at (Ellen's) and continue through from there.

My two youngest children holding the banner I made

Whitney 15 & Zachary 13





For my banner I used the Sweethearts Cartridge, Create a Critter and  Cricut Essentials Cartridge on the E2.

I cut the Scalloped Heart from the Sweethearts Cartridge at 5"
I embossed Each Heart with a Sizzix Valentines Cartridge
Each Heart I threaded ribbon through and then I used Stickles Red glitter around the heart.
The Ladybugs are from the Cricut Create a Critter Cartridge, I cut them at 3.5"
If you use the shift key on your sweethearts cartridge you will find the multiple hearts, I cut those at 2.25 inches and then I used Glossy Accents on them.

For blog candy I will choose one winner using Random.org for a $5 gc to Michaels.

Now please head on over to Beckie's for another great banner for the kids..

Thank you for joining us today on our “Love Bug Banner for Kids” Hop for the children of Pediatric Specialty Care.

  1. Hi Rachelle! Yours is SUCH a sweet banner and I LOVE that you got Whitney and Zachary to hold it for you. They are ADORABLE!!! How very blessed you are!!

    If you have a chance, I should say that your link to Beckie doesn't work and it's MY FAULT. I posted Beckie's address incorrectly. There's no E in the word "be" so the address is http://justbcreativecrazy.blogspot.com. If you can correct it ASAP, that would aid our hoppers in getting around.

    THANK YOU again for participating in this Hop that means so much to me, and brings smiles to the faces of the special needs kids at Pediatric Specialty Care!

    Fondly,
