I got to choose this week's challenge at Cardz TV and I wanted to go with a theme that is near (literally) and dear to my heart and that's Breast Cancer Awareness. I've almost made it to my four year anniversary from when I had a bilateral mastectomy because I had breast cancer. As you may know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and pink is the color associated with it. I like to give little cards to friends or family members as a reminder for them to get a yearly mammogram. For my card I used a 3x4 journaling die from My Creative Time to cut the base and background piece for my card. I used the MME Madison Ave. 6x6 paper pad for all the elements on my card. My ribbon was cut from the Cricut Stand and Salute cartridge. The pretty flowers are made with an Impression Obsession spiral flower die and they're embellished with tiny pink pearls in the center. A little American Greetings pink twine and my sentiment from the Cardz TV Stamps More Encouraging Thoughts stamp set finished this little card off.
I know that I've said this on my blog for the past three years, but it bears saying again, I am living proof that EARLY DETECTION saves lives. Please get a yearly mammogram so you can continue to make happy memories with your loved ones for years to come.
