Light It Up for Autism Awareness Blog Hop

  Oh those freckles...

Hello and welcome to the Light It Up Blue For Autism Awareness Blog Hop! 

Today myself and many, many other crafters are going to Shine the Light on Autism ! This is a huge blog hop with many companies joining in and offering tons prizes for the visitors on the blogs. 

Many of us have been touched by someone dealing with Autism. I myself have a good friend with not one but 2 sons diagnosed with Autism. I know she has researched every possible treatment for her children. She is an amazing young lady with what appears to be boundless energy. I know that dealing with autistic children takes its toll and truly requires Special families and support systems!

 We have so many fantastic sponsors that have shown their support for Autism Awareness and you can see the complete list here: So Many Stamps, So Little Time and Jazzy Paper Designs . If you would like a chance to win a prize from one of these fabulous companies leave a comment on this blog, and any of the other blogs participating in today's hop! Winners will be chosen at random and will be announced on Monday April 6. 

For my card today I colored up a cute little Sassy Cheryl's digital image. I used  Spellbinders Pierced Square die for the base of the card, which is about 4x4 in size...love it!

Did you know that boys are 5 times more likely to have autism than girls?
