Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop & Challenge

 Hello Friends and Welcome to a VERY IMPORTANT
AWARENESS BLOG HOP & CARD CHALLENGE!

I know it's a long post but please stay with me to the end where you will find details on how you can play along and possibly win some AMAZING prizes along the way.  My prize offering will be shared at the end of this post.

LET'S GET STARTED!

  "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness 3rd Annual Inaugural Blog Hop/Challenge!  

 

Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born with only one X chromosome, instead of two, leaving her with life-long medical issues and learning disabilities. This condition occurs one in 2,500 female births worldwide, but is more common among pregnancies that do not survive to full term. That is why Turner Syndrome Females are considered MIRACLES!

This hop/challenge runs February 1st thru the 28th.
FEBRUARY IS TURNER SYNDROME AWARENESS MONTH.

Prize Winners will be announced on Saturday, March 13th.

HOW TO PLAY & WIN:
    There are TWO parts to this event.

    First the Blog Hop which consisted of 12 designers.  You can get to each designers blog via the Inlinkz at the Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog

To be eligible to win a prize from one of the Card Designers Blogs you have to leave a comment on each of the Designers Blogs.  You could even win at more than one blog so be sure to visit each one.

Secondly is the Card Challenge.
To be eligible to win a prize for the Card Challenge: You have to make a card, write a blog post that includes the details and supplies used to make your card, something you learned about Turner syndrome and link your post back to the “It’s A Girl Thing” Turner syndrome Awareness Card Challenge.
 
Here's are this years generous Sponsors!
 

I must admit I had no idea this disorder even existed until Lori made me aware of it through her daughter.  Take a minute and TAKE A PEEK AT THIS to learn more about the effects of this disorder and then please help spread the word so some day maybe they will find a cure!

My projects:
 

 
 

You can use any stamps or dies that you want for your card for the Challenge. Jan’s Digi’s is selling the TSF Fairy stamp for $3.00 with all the proceeds being given to the Turner Syndrome Foundation. You can find the stamp set HERE
 
Remember, using this set is not a requirement.
 
I was more then happy to make my donation and have this fun & fabulous set to create with.  And, how awesome that all the proceeds from the sale of this cute set will go directly to Turner Syndrome Foundation!!
 
I hope you've found inspiration from my designs and it was my pleasure to create these cards of encouragement for the cause!  Please be sure to visit the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop/Challenge 2021  page for all the details and to become eligible for prizes.

  41. How awesome that you are helping to promote TS awareness with your wonderful cards. You colored that sweet fairy so beautifully. I teach elementary school and first heard of TS through Lori's awareness hop a couple of years ago. Card makers are special people to share with such an important and under-communicated cause. May God bless each of you and these miracle girls!
