So! I am painting my blog PURPLE today to support her, and the cause, because purple is the color of National Domestic Violence Awareness month, and we all have to make a stand - together we will make a difference!
Read this statistic - it is sobering:
1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence over the course of their lifetimes.
Let that sink in - 33% of all the women you meet.
And women aren't the only people who are affected! Women, men, transgender - gender doesn't matter. Domestic violence is something that exists regardless of gender, socioeconomic status, religion, education level, etc.
Please join us ... and thank you.

Oh how lovely!! I did not make a card for this hop and I wish I could have. Had major surgery on Friday and never got a chance. I love the simplicity of your card and those lovely purple hues. Beautiful design!!
Beautifully CAS - the raindrops are perfect as is the sentiment.
Great graphic design and a perfect sentiment for this great hop!
Beautiful CAS design; love the images and sentiment.
Simple, stunning, poignant. Your design is the best of CAS! I just adore the perfection of that sentiment for the theme of this hop, too. It was truly thought out and that makes it even more special. Thank you SO much for supporting the Hop to Stop!

Really stunning CAS design and beautiful color palette, Michele! I love the sentiment, too!
Interesting how the raindrops could also be perceived as 'tear drops'...especially when it comes to domestic violence. I'm so glad you took part in the hop...thank you for the eye-opening stats!

I too saw the raindrops as "tears" after reading what this hop is about! Kudos to people who stand up to violence of any kind. A lovely, CAS card with a perfect sentiment, Michele!
Perfect in every way for this hop, Michele. Your sentiment speaks volumes.
I'm visiting from The Hop to Stop. I noticed you haven't stopped in to see my card and it's two cards before yours on the hop. I thought you might need a reminder so I'm visiting to see yours. Beautiful CAS design and I like the meaningful sentiment. I appreciate your support of this important issue.
Hello Michele: What a worthy cause, I'm going to make a card for this challenge. Your card is beautiful, I see tear drops on this design, it's indeed sobering to read those horrible statistics, this crime does not discriminate, anybody can be affected.
Thank you for sharing your card and the information on this very important subject.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.
Awesome! Love the card, and the hop!
PS - My eldest daughter became a victim 11 years ago, as an 18 year old. Fortunately she left that relationship within days!!!
