The Cutting Cafe Breast Cancer

This week at The Cutting Cafe Blog the DT is featuring breast cancer awareness projects.  Many of you may know that I am a breast cancer survivor.  I never pass up the chance to encourage getting a mammogram.  I am living proof that early detection saves lives.  I found out I had cancer when getting my very first mammogram.  My tumor was buried deep and the doctors told me it would have been a long time before I was able to feel it with a self-exam.  Perhaps, by the time I was able to feel it my outcome might not have been a good one.  I also want to mention that no one should think they are safe from this disease like I did because no one in my family had ever had breast cancer.  I also had the thought that I was protected because I breast fed five babies.  Neither of these mattered in my case.  So I urge you to go for a mammogram.  The discomfort of a mammogram is nothing compared to what you'll go through if you're diagnosed with cancer.  Enough preaching for now.

I used the Breast Cancer T-Shirt Printable set for my card.  I simply printed it out, cut it, and folded it on the score line.  The only extra I added was the pink ribbon that I cut with my Cricut Stand and Salute cartridge then embellished with a pink rhinestone.  Super simple and quick!   You could easily make up a bunch of these to send to friends or family members as a reminder for them to get a mammogram. 

If you like this little T-shirt card but would like some with a Halloween theme so you can whip up some quick and easy Halloween cards, Regina has another fabulous set that would be perfect called, what else, Halloween T-Shirt Printable set and you can find it here.
