Halloween Spooktacular Banners Hop

Welcome to DAY 2

of the

Halloween Spooktacular Banners 

for Special Needs Kids 

Blog Hop 

If you missed Day 1,

Please start -HERE-

Welcome to the annual
Halloween Spooktacular Banner Hop
for Special Needs Children!

I am delighted to join with more than 3 dozen other women
who have each made at least one Halloween-themed banner
that will be donated to hang in the room of a
medically-fragile child at Pediatric Specialty Care in Pennsylvania.

Our Hop Hostess (Ellen CardMonkey Jarvis) works at
PSC’s Bucks County site as Admissions Coordinator.

The Banner Hop starts there, so please be sure to circle back to the beginning
to see all of the terrific banners that
have been made for these very special children.

Ellen shared this information with us about Pediatric Specialty Care:
“PSC is a very special place where children stay either long- or short-term, typically after hospitalization.  Most are dependent on ventilators and other technology to survive. Some have been born too early or with genetic diseases or birth injuries.  Other children suffer injuries later in life that require constant care later, including brain injuries from trauma or loss of oxygen (from choking, suffocation or drowning) and spinal cord injuries.
These children and their families -- and PSC’s staff -- will be thrilled to receive the Halloween banners, to help brighten the season when their friends and siblings will be out trick-or-treating.”

Here is the banner I am sending to a child at PSC:

All of the wonderful little Halloween Children/Characters

were cut using the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge.

The Backgrounds behind each character

were cut from the Cricut Lacy Labels Cartridge.

The panels/pennants for each character on the banner

were also cut from Cricut Lacy Labels Cartridge.

Some added details
were added to the backgrounds
using my Big Shot and the following embossing folders:
Darice - Argyle
Cuttlebug - Textile
Sizzix (Tim Holtz) - Burlap
Sizzix (Tim Holtz) -Swirls

Each of the white panels has some stamped sentiments and images on them.
All the stamping was from the
Crafty Secrets Clear  Art Stamps - Halloween Fun

 I then added some Twinery Twine through
the eyelets and tied a few strands to dangle between each panel.
TwineryTwine used:
Charcoal and Tangerine

I also added small bows using my
3 Girl JAM Mistletoe Crinkle Ribbon
(Huge Sale @ 3 Girl JAM this weekend through Monday)

This Hop is two days (Saturday, September 1 and Sunday, September 2),
and on each day you will see different banners.
