Turner Syndrome Blog Hop

 Hello, hello!  I am so glad you are here!  I am pleased to be part of the 3rd annual Turner Syndrome Blog Hop this year, and I'm offering several prizes for this great cause.  Keep reading for details.  This year we have added a card challenge so that more people can play along.  You have all month, so link up and join us!

Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born missing partial or all of her second X chromosome leaving her with life-long medical issues and learning disabilities.  This condition occurs one in every 2,000 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 March 13th, 2021.

23 Caring and Generous Sponsors and 12 Design Team Members are offering prizes to a commenter and card makers and they are helping 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.  Thank you for learning about Turner Syndrome.





My TS related project is inspired by the TSF Mood Board


I also used the beautiful digital stamp set, TSF Fairy, that Jan Mayhew designed especially for this hop.  Jan is donating the sale of the proceeds from the stamp set to the Turner Foundation.  Please consider buying either of her 2 Turner Foundation sets.  You'll find them both in her shop. 

The butterfly has become the symbol for Turner Syndrome girls because they are fragile miracles.
I created this card using a butterfly panel die by Kat Scrappiness.  I inked it in the colors of the mood board, then printed the  pre-colored TSF Fairy and fussy cut her. The sentiment is also part of the set.  I used a banner die from Crafter's Companion, cut 3 times.

To be edible for the prizes that I am giving away, please become a follower of my blog.  If I reach 600 followers, I will add another prize to the mix! I recently organized my embossing folders and realized I had some duplicates. Here's a look at the prizes I am giving away:

Prize 1

Prize 2

Please return to the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop 2021 page to see how to to become eligible for the prizes.  There are lots of them!! 

I also want to invite you to link up your projects to the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge.  It starts today and goes all month.  It's Anything Goes (always!) I'd love to see your creations, and you could win a gift certificate from Jan's wonderful store
