I am so thrilled to be included in this Blog Hop to raise Awareness for Turner Syndrome. This is a chromosomal disorder affecting only females and is due to a complete or partial absence of the 2nd sex chromosome. It only occurs in 1/2000 live female births. Short stature, social & learning difficulties and heart defects are some of the symptoms of Turner Syndrome. You can learn more at the Turner Syndrome Society website. I will admit that I had never even heard of Turner Syndrome until my friend Lori Kobular - who has a daughter with it - mentioned it on her Facebook page. She is determined to increase awareness about Turner Syndrome and also the need for more research on the lifelong medical issues that impact those with this Syndrome and their families.
This is the 2nd "It's a Girl Thing" Blog Hop and this year, we have 57 blogs linked up !! 36 sponsors and 9 Design Team members ( including me ) are offering prizes to commenters . For details on how you might win one of these amazing prizes, please go to Lori's Home Page . Prize winners will be announced on Feb. 15, 2020. This Blog Hop will take place from Feb. 1 through Feb. 7, 2020. Thank you so much for stopping by to learn about Turner Syndrome.
Turner Syndrome Awareness Official Color Board
For my card, I chose to use the colors of Turner Syndrome Awareness along with the word HOPE. The definition of HOPE is : to desire with expectation of obtainment or fulfilment . We all hope that with this Blog Hop we will bring awareness about Turner Syndrome to the public and also emphasize the need for further research .
- I embossed a piece of pale pink cardstock with the Darice Support Ribbon embossing folder and cut it to fit on a white A2 card base.
- I die-cut HOPE in dark pink cardstock and the word shadow in green to highlight HOPE, using the Tonic Studios Hope metal craft dies .
- I die-cut Ellie Loves Lattes from Your Next Stamp and colored her with my favorite markers ( Faber-Castells, Tombows & Akashiya ) in the Turner Syndrome colors.
- I adhered the pink HOPE on top of the green shadow with Art Glitter Glue .
- The completed HOPE was adhered slightly above the center of the embossed ribbon.
- I popped up Ellie in the lower right corner with foam tabs. I think she looks so cute in her plaid skirt.
