Purple Day: Epilepsy Awareness Blog Hop

Today is a worldwide day that asks for awarness for 
EPILEPSY.

Please take a moment and read.
Purple Day is a global grassroots event formed with the intention to increase worldwide awareness of epilepsy, and to dispel common myths and fears of this neurological disorder.
Further intentions of this movement are to reduce the social stigmascommonly endured by many individuals afflicted with the condition; to provide assurance and advocacy to those living with epilepsy that they are not alone in their ongoing endurance; and to initiate individuals living with the condition to take action in their communities to achieve these aims.
The day occurs annually on March 26.
You can read more about epilepsy here.

I have been asked to participate in this hop
and I hope you enjoy looking at all the purple artwork.

Card #1 has this cute dog image by Ikes Art.
one of the sponsors of this hop.

The dog is colored with pencil. Design paper,
ribbon, flowers and a heart die cut are used
to finish the card. The sentiment is typed up
and printed with the computer.

I used this wondeful butterfly, that I colored
with my Stampin´Blends. 
Some design paper, a ribbon, a lovely sentiment
and a few flowers finish the card.

Card #4
This cute girl is an image from 
Digi Doodle Studio, one of the sponsors of this hop.
On this card you ee an embossed background,

A wonderful set of cards Hetty - My brother suffered with epilepsy from a teenager - and I have known others also afflicted with it. It's good to see that there is now more publicity and support for the condition
Stay safe

Good morning, Hetty, and Happy Purple Day to you! You made so many adorable cards! I love seeing all of the purple! That puppy has stolen my heart, and OMGoodness, I love your little cat ribbon holders! Please count me in - thank you for your generosity! So cuuuuuute! Thank you for the TLC sentiment - I can definitely use that! I learned a lot about epilepsy during this hop. The point I keep in mind is that during a convulsive seizure you should never hold the person down or put anything in their mouth. Please take care of yourself and stay safe and healthy!

Hetty I love all of your cards! My favorite is the one with the heart behind the dog carrying a heart in it's mouth! So adorable! I also love your kitty giveaways! They turned out adorable! Thanks for spreading awareness about Epilepsy!

Hi, Hetty...

Thank you for taking part in this wonderful Epilepsy Awareness Hop! Your cards are so sweet. Love that doggy with the heart...and all your gorgeous added details. Beautiful. Oh, my....I am in love with your little kitty ribbon holders!!! Would love to be a lucky winner of one of them!!

I'm so glad to be a part of this hop, also, and to be reminded of some important things abt someone having a seizure....like noting the time the seizure started. I prob would not remember to think of that!

Hope you are doing well during this virus thing. Ugh... Stay safe and healthy.

Wow, you made so many beautiful cards and that little pup is the cutest ever! Your cat ribbon holders are even more fun..and so clever. Winning one of these would be purr-fect, lol! Thanks for sharing your cards in the hop. I learned a lot about epilepsy, especially not to hold someone down or put anything in their mouth when they are having a seizure.

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

What a lovely array of cards to encourage awareness of Epilepsy. Thanks so much for joining us at Time Out.

Karenladd said...

Your cards are all beautiful, and I'm loving all the purple! My favorite is the Sweetest girl, and those kitty ribbon tags are just adorable. Thank you for participating in the hop and helping spread the word. The fact that stands out for me is not to put anything in a person's mouth when they are having a seizure, contrary to popular belief.
