My blog is called "Creative Smiles" because my designs are the result of incorporating mistakes. With fumble fingers that drop whatever they are holding - repeatedly, it takes a lot of giggles, smiles and creative patience during my crafting process. xx

Turner Syndrome Auction and a Freebie

Good Morning, blogging friends! It's that time for Turner Syndrome Awareness and a wonderful card auction containing over 600 cards! 

Each card has been lovingly handmade especially for the benefit of Turner Syndrome Foundation. All proceeds from the card auction go directly to the TSA Foundation to further education and support for families and doctors dealing with TS. Lori and Julie Kobular present informative help for this genetic condition that affects only women. 

Crafters world-wide have sent their beautiful cards for the auction, beginning February 1, 2024, with the FLY HIGH BUTTERFLY auction and fund raising event!

In honor of the auction, I am providing a freebie sentiment we can all use in our card making. 


Please do not sell the Sentiment. Use on any of your projects, including projects involving any design teams you might be on.

Click on the image to bring it to full size. Because of the changes Google Made with Blogger (June 2020), your image will appear to be solid black. Don’t panic. Right click and do a SAVE AS PNG. Once it is saved on your hard drive, you can open it and it will have a transparent background. I create PNGs instead of JPGs so they can be placed anywhere on a scene or project, and so backgrounds can be made using them. Please let me know if you have any problems. I hope they serve you well!

Enjoy!

  


Please tell your friends about the auction, and why they might consider purchasing a beautifully hand-made card in support of this cause, rather than giving money to a BigBox store. One of my cards is in the auction:


Wishing you all the best as February greets you!
hugs,

Donna, you are so kind! I've saved this sentiment and will print up a bunch because it's so perfect. YOU are awesome and I hope you remember that. Your card like this is sitting on my windowsill right in front of me where I can admire it at a glance. Just yesterday I had it down looking at it again. There's so much to love about it. Wishes for a successful auction. Hugs!
