Autism Awareness

Hi

A new challenge starts over on Eclectic Ellapu today and the theme this week is 

Autism Awareness

What a fantastic theme that Trisha from the purple team has chosen, as it is world autism day on the 2nd of April.

My passion is Autism I have been a manager of services for people with Autism for over 9 years and have loved every minute of it, so I was excited about making something to promote awareness, but I did find it super hard to decided on what to do, as I was trolling through the internet for inspiration I came across these 3 sentences

Always Unique
Totally Interesting
Sometimes Mysterious 

That sums my Job and the people we support up for me, 


I have made this pop up cube card from Stempeleinmaleins then didn't know what to do with it so thought it was perfect for this project, I have used a Xcut Jigsaw punch, and downloaded some free fonts.

We have just open a new office so I am going to have this on my desk, as Iam quite pleased how it turned out.

Hope you will join in this week




I would like to enter this project into the following challenges 
Tuesday Throwdown- Some dimensional
Crafting for all seasons- anything but a card
Fab n Funky- boxed in
Speedy fox and friends- The letter A

Name that Tune

Hi All

A new challenge starts over on Crafting when we can today, we are sponsored this fortnight by Dr Digi and the theme this week is

Name that Tune

I have never used a image from Dr Digi so had super fun looking at all the fab images, when I saw Salon Deirdery which can be found here all I could think about was the song 'Gonna wash that man right out of my hair' from south pacific.

I have used papers from papermania, with some music charms from my stash and the music sheet is printed out from the internet, and distressed with distress ink


Hope you will join in the fun
