Wishes For Bella.....

HI everyone! Thanks for joining me on the wishes for Bella blog hop!! You should be coming here from Sandie's Blog. If you haven't hopped yet head on over to the beginning at Denise's blog.
This hop is really about a very brave little girl, Bella. She is a member of the same gymnastics team as Erins daughter. You can read her story HERE. The gym, Bella's school and many members of the local community are working hard to raise money to help the Tucker family. Erin wanted to do something to raise Bella's spirits and let her know people from all over the world are thinking of her and wishing her the best on the hard road ahead she has. So I am asking for everyone to shower her with cards for the rest of the month. Please help me help her by making and MAILING as many cards as you can to help her smile each day. The mailing address is...

The Bella Tucker Fund
P.O. Box 199
Londonderry NH
03053 USA



I am also offering some Blog candy, all you need to do is leave me a message on this post and let me know you will be sending Bella a card. I will be choosing one person from my comments!! Erin has a GRAND PRIZE on her blog which will be drawn July 20, she's got a lot of goodies make sure you check out all the details !!



Your next stop is Janna, For my card I used Lady Tilda, I colored her with Distress Inks. I used this beautiful pink card stock from Paper Temptress, it's gorgeous, it's the kind of paper you don't want to cover up that's why I decided on just a small stripe of Design Paper making sure my Pink Papers would be visible.



Thank you sooo much for your support on this Blog Hop and I hope my card makes Bella Smile!!
