Never Regret - Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop Reminder!

I'm back with a quick reminder that you have until tomorrow, February 7th to hop and comment for your chances to win one of many awesome prizes!  We're hopping to raise awareness of Turner Syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects females.  Get some beautiful inspiration and learn about Turner Syndrome and maybe win some stuff!  You can find the main hop post here if you'd like to check it out!

I'm sharing with you some Rubbernecker inspiration today:


I had started this card with a different plan, and when that went in a new direction, I needed to use this framed background with that beautiful design paper!  I pulled out one of the many inspirational sentiment stamps from Rubbernecker and a few dies and it was done!


There is so much awesome over in the Rubbernecker shop and the sentiments are no exception!  Just a quick and encouraging reminder for a friend... 


And the flower die and butterfly are two of my favorite from the shop... not to mention the scalloped frame!!  I love that the die cuts so many frames that you can use together or apart.  I save my extras for mixing and matching on future projects.


And that's me for today!  Now get out there and Break Some Rules!

Come back tomorrow for some glitter fun!

Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop 2020


Hello Blogging Friends!!


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!
Prize Winners will be announced on February 15, 2020.
Thirty-six caring Sponsors and nine DT Members are offering prizes to commenters and they are helping bring Turner Syndrome Awareness to the Public. For details on how you might win any of these fabulous prizes, please see Lori's TS home page. Thanks for learning About Turner Syndrome


Nine designers are offering prizes on their personal blogs as well:


My TS related project is inspired by the TSA official color board:




Here's how I was inspired:


I did some watercoloring using my Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils and a water brush.  I stamped that beautiful image from a Hero Arts/Gina K Designs collaboration set in Versamark onto watercolor paper and heat embossed it using some Wow embossing powder.


I am far from being an expert at watercoloring so if you are... don't look too hard...lol!  But I love the way it turned out and I'm glad I stuck to it.  I almost threw in the towel and opted for coloring the image with my Copics a few times, but I didn't give up and I'm so happy that I didn't!


I knew I wanted to add a butterfly, and after searching through my pretty well stocked craft room, I came across that beautiful Butterfly Flourish die from Elizabeth Crafts and it turned out to be exactly what I wanted.  And finally a simple sentiment from the collab set.


I just scattered around a few of those beautiful sequins from Trinity and called it done!

This one is one its way to a special young lady right now!




Thank you so much for stopping and hope you'll head on over to the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop 2020  page to become eligible for prizes and find out more about this genetic disorder.  I was amazed that just living with this Syndrome is a miracle in itself since only 2% of babies born with it survive past birth!

Happy hopping and good luck!
