Light It Up Blue For Autism Awareness Blog Hop


*** This is my second post of the day, if you are looking for my The Alley Way Stamps post, click here ****
Hello!

Welcome to the Light It Up Blue For Autism Awareness Blog Hop! I'm participating because Autism has been in my life since i was old enough to understand what it is. You might be thinking i have a child with Autism or maybe a sibling with Autism but that is not the case. Its a part of my life through my Mom.

Even before i was born my Mom has worked with a variety of cognitively impaired individuals, from low functioning children/adults to students who are just below normal IQ, to downs syndrome individuals to autistic individuals and probably everything in between.Over the years she has worked in many CI class rooms from Elementary to High School. I've had the great opportunity to volunteer with these children/adults throughout my life, along with hearing all the good and bad experiences  that my mom has had.

Ok enough about me, on to the card!! I found this Mama Elephant set that has a great sentiment that i though was appropriate for the hop!! Because everyone needs a hug if they want one! (sometimes just standing by their side is enough!!)

I started by cutting a label shape out of white card stock, then stamped the little girl, she has here arms wide open! I also stamped some grass, flowers and a butterfly. I colored everything up with Copic markers.

Next i used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Rectangle die to cut a piece of blue card stock. I wrapped some cord around it, tying it in a bow. Then i added the the label to the panel with foam dots.

I stamped the sentiment 'I'll be here if you need a hug' in black ink below the bow. Last i added the blue panel to a white card base!!

    What a sweet card. My daughter worked with individuals that had low iq's or some type of disability that meant that they needed extra help. I'm not sure if she had any autism clients or not. She has some wonderful memories of her work with them also. Thanks for sharing.

    *Dana* sniffle. This is perfect. I love your card (and I'll totally take the hug!)
    About your story - that is how I envisioned my life being, as someone like your mom, and my kids being the ones who were great about including kids with special needs. Instead my kids are the ones teaching others - and I couldn't be happier that there are great parents out there like yours that encourage their kids to see past a diagnosis. (sniffle)
