CardzTV Anything Goes Challenge #4- Turkey Gift Holder

Welcome back Friends for another "CardzTV Stamps Anything Goes Challenge" If you haven't joined us for CardzTV Stamps challenge before it's super simple. "Anything Goes" means just that. You can make any card, gift tag, gift bag, etc and enter it in our challenge. 

The winner will receive a set of CardzTV Stamps. 

To enter simply go to CardzTV blog and enter your NEW project not an old one in the linky below

For my project today I have two projects because my first one got ruined by my four year old daughter. She is such a sweet girl. But if you could see what it's like to craft in my house, you'd laugh. Imagine two little children at my side who are four and two years old. They want to "help" mommy. 

Usually, this works out but today Felicity added pink to my turkey sentiment. So I had to quickly redo it. 

 My first project is a simple 4x4 card and uses my Cricut Explore Air 2

The turkey is cut at 2 inches and is from Create a Critter

The scallop is from Elegant Edges and is cut at 2.5 inches

My sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps "Count Your Blessings" Stamp Set

I'm sending these out for the #scatterkindness challenge. I hope they will be an encouragement to my friends and family. 
My second project is a cute gift card or candy holder from SVG Cutting Files. This turkey caught my eye in their recent blog hop and I just had to buy it. 
I embellished it with sequins that I purchased from Julie @ ReadySetStamp
 My sentiment is from one of my favorite sets of Mary's CardzTV Stamps "Going in Circles"

I hope you have enjoyed both of these fun projects and will join us for our challenge. Please stop by CardzTV and check out my CardzTV design team sisters projects as they are simply amazing!!

Have a Blessed Friday!!

Yoda Birthday - Star Wars Card

Hi everyone, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We had a busy weekend with having a birthday party for my 2nd youngest son Brighton turned 5 years old. 

For his birthday we had a fun Paw Patrol Birthday party but he also loves Yoda. So in honor of his birthday I made this fun Yoda card. 

The Yoda file is from a blog hop from SVG Cutting files . You don't want to miss their amazing blog hops. This one was from a Star Wars blog hop a while ago. 

The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Fan-tasitic! Stamp Set you can buy it here

I loved making this adorable card for my son!! 

Join me again tomorrow for another fun project!!

Blessings,

Shawnee

Disney Blog Hop for Rett Snydrome Awareness

Happy Saturday
and 
Welcome to this year's Blog Hop for...

Rett Syndrome Awareness

 

In this hop we will be showing you many Disney themed projects while sharing with you about
Rett Syndrome.
If you have just stopped by my blog to visit with me, thank you and welcome, but please start at the beginning of the hop with our
Hostess, Robin from
Create-A-Latte.
We would not want you to miss any of these wonderful projects.

So, grab yourself a Latte', sit back and hop along with us as we share our projects with you.

 October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month, so I wanted to help get the word out and what better way to do that than with a blog hop.
  
Rett Syndrome strikes without warning. A girl with Rett Syndrome usually starts out as a happy and healthy baby. Then something goes terribly wrong. She loses the ability to speak, she can't use her hands to play with toys, or to even feed herself, and she may lose the ability to walk. 
Despite their physical disabilities, girls with Rett Syndrome are believed to be functioning mentally at a much higher level than previously thought.   
Rett Syndrome is caused by a mutation of the MECP2  gene on the X chromosome.  
Rett Syndrome is found in all racial and ethnic groups throughout the world, and in every socioeconomic class.  
Rett  Syndrome affects 1 in 15,000 female births.  

*Symptoms of Rett Syndrome...

Rett Syndrome is a genetic neurological disorder that affects girls between 6 and 18 months of age. This regressive disease leads to lifelong handicaps, including loss of speech and voluntary muscle control, and is often misdiagnosed as Cerebral Palsy or Autism. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and almost always include...
*Developmental Regression or Plateau
*Near constant hand clasping or wringing
*Severe communication impairment
*Breathing problems
*Digestive issues
*Floppy arms and legs
*If able to walk, then with a shaky, unsteady gait, or toe-walking. But most do end up using a wheelchair for the most part.
*Scoliosis
*Seizures
*Slowing head growth
*Abnormal sleep patterns
*Transient loss of social engagement
*Poor circulation that can lead to cold and bluish arms and legs
*Anxiety
  

Many individuals with Rett Syndrome live well into adulthood, although there are some that do not get that chance and end up losing their battle to Rett Syndrome at a very early age.
Most people including Doctors are not aware of Rett Syndrome, so, please help me get the word out about Rett Syndrome and hopefully the more that know the faster we can help in finding a cure.

I made this card for my husband as he is a big Jack Jack fan. He even has a small statue of him in his office. I also made it in honor of my son Jack. 

The cut is from SVG Cutting Files Blog Hop that they had.

The sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps Frankly Frightful and it reads No Tricks Just Treats

I love this cute little guy and I hope you do, too. 

Having 3 special needs children this hop was very important to me.
