Breast Cancer Cards

Hello & Happy Friday!

I whipped up a few cards for my customer, Audrey. Her daughter is battling breast cancer and is in the midst of radiation treatments. Her niece has been diagnosed with breast cancer just last week. My thoughts & prayers are with them both.

 Anyways, she requested a few cards to send out to them...something special to keep their minds positive and know they are loved.

Breast Cancer Cards:

Stamps: 1st Card: Hope Is...

2nd Card: Hope

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Whisper White

Accessories: Stamp A Ma Jig, Pink Rhinestones, 2 Sided Tape

I think these turned out very nice! I'm sure Audrey will love them too!

That's all for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Ribbon of Hope Cards

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Since we are doing our challenges every 2 weeks over at Merry Monday for the summer months today I am going to share a few sets of cards I made over the weekend. First off i'd like to say that my hubby did an amazing job on the painting the front porch railings over the weekend. Yesterday I did help him to make it go faster. It is alot for one person. Today I am feeling the affects of crawling around on my knees and the constant bending. My back & body are not happy with me, so once I get done with my update I will go soak up a hot shower to help!

So let's get to my cards...

I borrowed this stamp set, Hope Is....from my friend to whip up some cancer cards for upcoming craft shows! Thanks so much, Deb!! These could be sent to someone who is battling the disease or someone whom has conquered cancer. I left my insides blank for a special note inside. I know of a few people who have battled breast cancer and are now survivors!  I have been affected by ovarian cancer some 19 years ago when Kelsey was just 3 years old. Thankfully, I did not have to go thru the chemo or radiation but I have the big scar on my belly to remind me of it everyday. I was one of the lucky ones and sadly there are SO many that aren't so lucky....

I hope that my cards will bring someone love & hope and to remind them that they are not alone in their battle.

 My only wish is that one day this horrible disease will have a cure!

Ribbon of Hope Cards:

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Taken w/ Teal, Memento Black

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Taken w/ Teal, Whisper White, Basic Black

Well, that's all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a super Monday!

Breast Cancer Covered Notebooks

Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

It's shaping up to be a beautiful Sunday here in PA! Today we are heading to Kirsten's for a birthday dinner for my mom since her birthday was this past Thursday. Yesterday, I popped out and picked up a cake for today's get together so all I have to do yet is get myself ready. The card, gift & cake are all ready to go!

So before I head out today I wanted to share a few notebooks I worked on the other day. I'm getting these ready for craft show season which is a few months off yet but every little bit helps!

I put these together using some papers from American Crafts and a pack of Jolee's Stickers. The little pink ribbons on the small covered composition books came from Hobby Lobby in a pack of maybe 20. One of my stamp girls is a breast cancer survivor so i'm sure she is going to love these! Back at Christmas time I made her a pack of covered tissues that had the breast cancer ribbon on it and she LOVED it! These were so fun to make and I hope eventually I can find some other colored ribbons that represent the different cancers our world is plagued with. I myself would love one of these with a teal ribbon on for ovarian cancer.

Well, that is all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Christmas Gifts

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Sat today and whipped up 8 snowman soups which I will share tomorrow but in the meantime I wanted to show the little gifts I whipped up for my stamp girls Christmas get together last week!

We had a fun time at Chili's and exchanged our gifts, ate our meals then parted ways. Saturday we had a project day planned but unfortunately I did not attend due to my back. We will be getting together mid January for a Stampin Up Party and I am looking forward to it!

Here are my little gifts I gave the girls....

They loved the bottles filled with Hershey Candy Cane Kisses & Hershey Hugs. I picked those bottles up at Michael's. They already had the twine & jingle bells on. I just added the tag.

The tissue packs which I did not show all because some were copies of those in the picture. The tissues are called Swankies that I picked up at local grocery store. The one with the Breast Cancer tag on is for Cinda whom is a Breast Cancer Survivor. The boxes are made with a variety of papers and these were a very good seller this year! I have more to share with you soon!

Well, that's all for now!

Heading out shortly to get my hair done for Christmas. Six weeks ago I went all dark with the hair color but today i'm going back to the blonde highlights. I have really missed them!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
Happy Holidays!
