It's a Girl Thing ~ Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop

Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop

Hello Blogging Friends!!

Welcome to my project for the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness 2nd Annual Blog Hop!  

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.

We have many caring Sponsors and DT Members who have partnered together to  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. 

Seven talented and caring designers are offering prizes on their personal blogs as well:

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



Using the Floral Faerie die and stencil from Tonic Studios, I created this fairy card.

First I used the die to cut out the image and then using the stencil feature, I used Nuvo Embellishment Mousse to add  metalic dimensional details to the fairy and the frame.  You can see the beautiful shiny effect on the 3rd photo of the card.

For the background I embossed a piece of card stock using the Dry Stone Wall embossing folder, from Crafter's Companion.  Next I added a little depth by sponging Memento Ink's Desert Sand ink here and there on the "stone wall".  To add a little more interest, I added a piece of organza ribbon and a few butterflies to finish off the card.

On the inside I added a sentiment and a couple of fairies using Lavinia Stamps. 

I was asked to write one sentence about something I learned regarding TS during this blog hop.  To be honest I knew nothing about TS before I joined this blog hop and now I'm having trouble choosing just one thing to mention.  But I would have to say that learning about what it actually is has made the most impression on me, so my one thing would be "It's a genetic disease where females are born with only one X chromosome".

You can't have a blog hop without candy, and as you saw above, there are many wonderful sponsors and therefore many wonderful prizes to be won.  I'm offering a $10 gift certificate to a digi store of your choice.  All you have to do is leave a comment on my blog and mention in your comment what your "one thing" is that you learnt about TS. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and for your help in spreading awareness of Turner Syndrome.
