Support for Maddie!

I have been following a story about a little girl named Madison Paige Staats, Maddie for short. Maddie passed away from SIDS at 4 months old. It is such a tragedy. Her parents, Kellie and James have gotten really involved in SIDS research and the prevention of it. Today is Maddie's 1/2 birthday. She would have been 6 months old so Kellie asked that we all wear a bow in our hair to support her little angel.


Catie with her bows in her hair!


To raise awareness about SIDS, Kellie has teamed up with another mom who has lost her baby to SIDS and they are doing an auction fund raiser. All proceeds go to the American SIDS Institute. There are almost 200 items being auctioned off from several different boutiques. One of the boutiques that is donating items is my friend who has a baby with an inoperable brain tumor. You can check out her boutique called Little Blessings Boutique. She makes bows and has some sewing items up for sale. I have donated a customizable banner for this auction.


If you'd like to participate in the auction, please follow this link and check it out. There are a lot of items to bid on and there are some very talented people donating!

In other news, I got a job yesterday. I officially start on Tuesday, which means more income for my family but less "me" time to scrapbook. :( I'm sad about the last part but I'm happy about the first part. So, wish me luck and I'll try to post as often as I can!!!

Hope you all are having a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by my blog!!!

Much love and creativity,

Banner

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my latest craft project with you all!!! I am so proud of this!!

For this project, I used the Make-The-Cut program.

I cut the base template at about 5 x 7 inches. Then the top layer was cut about about 4-1/4 x 6-1/4.

I needed a ladybug picture so I googled it and I found this cool site that does EVERYTHING ladybug! It's a really neat site. I cut these at about 5 inches.

Aren't they so cute?? I just love how they turned out. I used pop-dots to add dimension to them. I also used wiggly eyes and red ribbon to make the bows for added detail!

I downloaded the font from 1001 Free Fonts. It's called Hole-Hearted! I cut the letters at around 3 inches.

I used red, black and white tulle and colored ribbon between each card of the banner to bring it all together!

This banner will be auctioned off for the Team M Auction. I am going to be putting these in my Etsy store! So excited!

Don't forget about my blog candy. To enter, please Click here!

Thanks so much for viewing my project!
