Autism Matters Blog Hop

 Autism Matters Banner
Today I'm joining Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world to help bring awareness about Autism.  We are doing a Blog Hop and sharing fabulous cards and asking you to help by making a donation to Autism Speak.

Autism Fact:  Dogs have been shown to improve autistic children's qualify of life, independence and safety.  The presence of a trained dog can reduce aggressive behavior, calm the child, and serve as a link to the child's community.

Cake Crazy
Our nephew Nicholas has Autism and is a wonderful young man attending college and working towards a career in film making.  His mom and dad have learned a lot about autism over the years and have helped many other families with autistic family members.  Nicholas, this card is for you — you truly are spectacular!!

I hope you will consider making a small donation — every dollar donated helps reach our goal

Basket Bunch Scrapbook Pages

I loved playing with the Basket Bunch Bundle.
Don't you just love when there are framelits to match all those stamps — no fussy cutting!!
I used this cute little bundle for this month's Scrap & Go Club pages.

Basket Bunch Page 1
* Page Bases — Blushing Bride 12" x 12"
Photo Mats — Watermelon Wonder — 4" x 6"
* Pear Pizzazz matted on Whisper White
I stamped the fun little bunny peeps with Black ink
* Stamp flower on the four little squares with Black ink — put a Rhinestone in the center of each flower.
* Stamp grass with Pear Pizzazz ink and the eggs with Black ink
*  All the basket pieces are stamped with Black ink on Whisper White cardstock
color with markers:  So Saffron, Blushing Bridge, Watermelon Wonder, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede
* Cut all pieces out with the coordinating framelits
I assembled the basket with Glue Dots and then attached it to the page with Dimensionals

Basket Bunch Close Up
I also added a little Clear Wink of Stella to the bunny's tail and ears
Basket Bunch Page 2
The second page has more spots for pictures of all your Easter cuties.
I added the eggs tumbling down the left side and then stamped some grass for those chocolate bunnies to around it.

These were fun pages to make — the basket is a little fussy but so, so cute.

Tomorrow I'm participating in an Autism Awareness Blog Hop with other demonstrators to share our fun cards with you and to raise funds for Autism Speaks.  I hope you'll come back tomorrow to check it out.
