Time to hop for Purple Day!


UPDATE: The hop is now closed. Thank you everyone who took part in the hop. The winner of this part of the hop was Chandhini, Shartl.

Hi everyone! Very happy today to be taking part in the Purple Day Blog Hop! As a group of crafty friends we are joining in with the hop today to increase awareness of epilepsy and how it effects peoples lives.
Purple day is a worldwide event to dispel common myths and fears about this neurological disorder and to reduce social stigmas associated with it. If you want to make a difference scan through this bit of blurb that will let you know what to do if someone you know has a seizure!


Thanks for joining the hop today! 

I am very happy to be sponsored by Dr.Digi's House of Stamps  and I have used Dumb Bell Derek for my purple card! 


If you would like a chance to win two digistamps of your choice from the Dr.Digi's Shop you must comment on each of the team's hop posts including this one and I will pick a random winner from everyone who has commented on this blog.

And here is my version (Close up!):

  1. Super cute card, Annabel! Dr. Digi's images are always so fun! Happy Purple Day! 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!

    1. Hum, not done a snake, were you looking for scales? I think the best scales I have done were either for you on Gelsey, or perhaps on the all dressed up monsters... https://www.instagram.com/p/Be3JWjJA1nc

  8. Hi, Annabel! Thank you for sponsoring this hop and joining in with your fun card. You are the most amazing colorist!! Everything you touch comes to life. I am glad to be a part of this hop and to be reminded of some important things abt someone having a seizure....like noting the time the seizure started.
    Hope you are doing well during this virus thing. Stay safe and healthy.

  17. Wow, you colored up this hilarious image in such an amazing way! Thanks for sharing it and supporting the hop. I learned not to put anything in a person's mouth when they're having a seizure or to hold them down.

  18. This just makes me chuckle, with that fun image! Thanks for joining the hop and sharing your beautifully colored card. 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.
