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. 

Here is the digi I used from the shop (there is a sale on at the moment, use code sale20 to get 20% off):

And here is my version (Close up!):

He is coloured with polychromo pencils and a touch of white posca pen!  The font I used is "Ink free". Background papers from the stash and Making Cards Magazine. Bling stars from Paperchase.

And now for my purple creation using the Cheshire Cat digistamp from Dr.Digi's! (I know it's not my normal friday Dr.Digi slot but I thought he would make an awesome purple card, so I am popping in an extra Dr.Digi card today)

I kept to a mainly purple theme and coloured him with polychromo pencils! Do you think he looks like he should be up on the notice board in your Dentist's reception? lol.

Font is the Dr.Digi font called Samdan. Background paper from the stash.

If you would like to win this card, I am going to randomly select someone who comments on this post and will send it to you after the end of the hop on the 31st.

 So please make sure I have a way to contact you if you win! If you don't have a blog yourself with contact details on, keep an eye on my blog for the winner to be announced and then contact me!  You can sign up for email updates if you want a handy way to be notified. (It's in the column on the right hand side →→→)

This offer is open internationally and is not in conjunction with anyone but me. I will need to ask your address if you win but I will not retain is after your card has been posted.

A bit of info!

50 Million People have epilepsy world wide.

It is estimate 1 in 100 people have it.

In 50% of the cases the cause is unknown.

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 stigmas commonly 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.

Got to the Purple Day website for more info!

Preparing for a hop!

Not made any cards over the weekend, but have been finishing off the digistamps for the "Kitty Love Blog Hop" starting on the 6th Feb. The images were requested by the DT members, so you can win their requested image on each of their blogs, so you get the chance to win all of them if you comment on every single blog. Still deciding if I should do an image on my blog too :) There will be an additional chance to win via Instagram on the new KnittyKittyDigis account. My first time running one :)
