Hello Everyone! Welcome to the Light It Up Blue for Autism Awareness Blog Hop! I would like to start out by offering a heartfelt thank you to both Veronica and Tenia for hosting the hop.
Thank you to all of the generous sponsors too! I’ll share with you at the end of my post how you can win some spectacular crafty goodness.
Why did I decide to participate in this blog hop? It just felt like the right thing to do. So many illnesses and disorders are misunderstood. Autism is no different.
Learn more about Autism:
- Autism Speaks was founded in 2005 and are the world leaders in autism science and advocacy.
- Blogs by Moms of Kids with Autism; what better way to learn about Autism then from a loving parent.
- The Autism Hub is a collaboration of blogs about autism from autistic people, family members, students and professionals.
My Creation:
The only criteria was it had to be blue. I did add a little silver embossing to the star.
Most of the products used are from My Favorite Things. The card base is from Neenah and the embossing powder is from American Crafts.
How to Win Prizes: Simply leave some “love” or comments on the amazing participants blogs. (Thought I would mention, you are welcome to join the hop too! Just create something blue and link-up. Make sure to include a link to the hop on your blog post.) Winners will be randomly chosen from blog participants comments. Do not miss a blog because several participants are also offering blog candy. Winners will be chosen on Monday, April 6, 2015.
My Blog Candy: Instead of offering blog candy I decided to donate to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital and asked them to put towards autism awareness.
Many thanks for hopping along with the Light It Up Blue for Autism Awareness Blog Hop. Hope you enjoy and even maybe learned something.
Your blog comments are appreciated!
Happy Autism Awareness Day!!

Yay you for donation to ACH instead of doing blog candy! I’m an Arkansan myself (just east of Fayetteville 🙂 lovely CAS card!
Thank you, Paula. I’m actually a Michigan girl. I selected ACH because one of the blog hop hosts lives in Arkansas. However, there is a chance I will soon be relocating to the El Dorado, AR area. This would be a big change for me.
Awesome card! Adore the silver embossing star!!!
Kisses;)
