Layton's Legacy Card Drive & Fundraiser Blog Hop

Today I am so honored to be part of such a special blog hop!

This event was organized by Lea Lawson in her son, Layton's, honor to help the families of children in the NICU at The University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital. There are 50 beds in that NICU, and it is ALWAYS full. In honor of Layton's birthday, Lea is raising money to purchase substantial Starbucks gift cards that can be given to these parents as they find themselves thrust into NICU life. Please head to Lea's blog to read more of her story.

Now, here's how you can help:

WAYS YOU CAN HELP:

1. DONATE! - directly to Layton's Legacy YouCaring Fundraiser. For every $5 donated, you will be entered into the drawing for one of the prizes above!! All winners will be drawn from donations made thru the YouCaring Site. **Prizes will be drawn and announced here on my blog on Saturday, May 19th.**

2. SHARE! - Not everyone is able to donate, but sharing about the fundraiser gives it more visibility! Please feel free to share the YouCaring Link or this post on all your social media outlets!

3. SHOP!

-Pinkfresh Studio will be donating 10% of TODAY'S sales, and offering a 15% off discount to you for shopping!

-CAS-ual Fridays Stamps will be donating 15% of their sales thru May 19th.

-My affiliate linking dollars will be donated thru May 19th.

4. CREATE! - this is also a card drive, and if you'd like to create a card using the theme/moodboard above, Lea would love that! She will be including these handmade treasures with the giftcards when she hands them over to the NICU social worker, and her dream is that the NICU will be covered in beautiful creations inspired by Layton!! Link them up HERE, and then please email me (lea@lealawsoncreates.com) to get the address for sending - and note that I will need them to arrive by May 31st.

But today isn't just a fundraiser, it's also a blog hop! With loads of inspiration and prizes! Lea created a beautiful mood board to serve as inspiration!

For my card, I used our Into the Woods and Lumberjack Love stamps and dies. They were just perfect for the woodland theme! The sentiment comes from our So Many Sentiments stamp set.

And there are LOTS of amazing prizes - winners will be chosen from donations made through the YouCaring site found here: Layton's Legacy YouCaring Fundraiser.
