Light it Up Blue!!

ETA:  I've been away all day and discovered that my post didn't publish…..so here it is now. bah.

Good Morning!  Today I'm taking part in the Light It Up Blue for Autism Awareness Blog Hop!

I wanted to support this cause as I have a few crafty friends whose lives have been touched by autism, and bringing awareness is the one thing I can do!

There are a fantastic number of sponsors who have generously donated their time and prizes to our hop.

Winners will be chosen at random on Monday April 6th from comments left on Blog Hop participants blogs.  The full list of bloggers is right here - the more comments you leave, the greater your chances will be at winning! 

Now on to my card….




I wanted to build around the blue theme for Autism Awareness Day and chose to use the bicycle stamps and dies from Papertrey Ink's Pedal Pushers - and the sentiment is from the same set.  

I stamped in Simon Says Stamp Inks - Caribbean Blue, Cobblestone and Beanstalk Green, along with Taylored Expressions mountain die set!

Thanks for stopping by and supporting this awesome cause AND Happy World Autism Awareness Day!

  41. I love how the bicycle is off the edge - totally gives it a sense of movement! And that sentiment is absolutely positively wonderful (Also glad to know I'm not the only one who angers the Blogger scheduling feature & messes it up! lol) Thanks so much for joining in this blog hop that is making my heart sing :)
