Welcome to Mason's Benefit Blog Hop. Where us crafters got together to create some sunshine for a young boy named Mason. Thank you so much for coming by! We have a fabulous line up ahead for you. Help us spread some love into a little boys life.
Mason is a sweet 3 year old boy who has endured a lot of medical problems from such a young age. Here is the link (http://thesearsfam.com/masons-riddle) where you can read about young Mason's life. It was recently updated by his mother, Dana.
We are sending cards of encouragement to Mason and his family to uplift their spirits.
We are also having a challenge for this hop. I hope you can help us spread the love!

Well are you ready to play along? Here is my card for Mason.
This is a card with a coloring page front that I found on google. I wanted Mason to be able to enjoy his card and add his artistic talent to it. His name was cut using the Cameo. It's a teacher font from my computer.
