Labor of Love Halloween Blog Hop- Day 2

Welcome to Funky Cards- Day 2 
 Labor of Love Halloween Blog Hop
**September 2nd-3rd Group 1**
September 4th-5th Group 2

If you arrived from Cardmonkey's Paper Jungle you are in the right place.  By now you know this blog hop is something special.  Each stop along the way, you will be treated to a Boo-tiful Halloween Banner designed and created by our talented participants. 
The wonderful ladies have agreed to donate their banners to Pediatric Specialty Care, a pediatric care facility that cares for medically fragile children.  As a special treat for the children, the staff will be decorating the facility with our banners for the Halloween season.  How cool is that?



My spooky little Create a Critter banner was really fun to design and create.
The animals all measure 3" and are hiding behind custom made masks!  

Up close you can see that the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder was used on both the animals and the pumpkins.


After the masks were in place, glue was used to attach the googly eyes. 

Here is what the banner looks like hanging in the doorway of my craft room:)  I am so happy to be co-hosting this blog hop  donating my banner to the kids at Pediatric Specialty Care.


Here's how you can be a part of this experience too.  After you have visited all the amazing blog stops, create your own Halloween card and link it to my blog, click HERE.  Mail the card to me (follow link for all info.) and I will forward your card to Pediatric Specialty Care:)  We are hoping to get a card to give to each child! 


****You may want to consider becoming a follower of my blog.  Each month I select a new recipient for the "I Feel the Love Project" and we work together to send cards out to spread the love to someone new!!  It feels amazing**** 


This blog hop and all the fantastic prizes we are offering would not be possible without all of our awesome sponsors.

  16. Madison thank you so much for your lovely comments on my blog. You are right everyone did a fabulous job. As far as the vendors it is alright. It is not your fault. I have been going through a lot within the last month and I am not using this as an excuse, but I had to put my little baby Madison down 2 days ago. I miss her terribly, but I still have 4 that keep me hopping. I will check out the link with the sponsors. You are so sweet, I love the work that you do. TFS, Dee:)
