October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

It is so important to have regular mammograms and do your own personal self exam on a regular basis. It is the best way to prevent Breast Cancer. To remind all of my friends and followers I made a card for Breast Cancer Awareness. I used an image from GuyLou. This is her "Leah" image. I made the background from a freebie from Beccy's Place. The hope, love and support words also come from her. The trees with the breast cancer pink ribbons come from A Day For Daisies (also freebies on their site). Most of the coloring is done with chalks or Glaze Pens. The other embellishments are from my personal stash. I hope you enjoy the card!

I am entering this card into the "Link up for Pink" challenge! Please join me and play along. You can even send your card to a hospital to be included in someone's care package that has just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Click the link below to find out more details at JustYolie's blog.


I also got invited to be a Guest Designer on Guylou's blog this month. I would love for you to come play along with us. Here is the information for that and a message from Guylou:

Breast Cancer Awareness Challenge

October is Breast Cancer Awareness. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women and the second leading cause of death. Your best weapon against breast cancer is EARLY DETECTION through two common methods of breast screening: breast examination (self and clinical) and screening mammography. Your health is important; you are important. Take good care of yourself.

Guylou designed a new image in honor of the Breast Cancer Awareness program and for reaching over 250 followers on this blog. Gabrielle and ribbon is available for free between October 7th and 14th at Guylou's Online Store. Please use the code BCA-GABRIELLE at check out to get her free.

And now to the details of our challenge:

Prize:

Guylou is offering a $5.00 gift certificate from her online store. You can enter only one project, but if you use a Guylou's Inimitability digistamp, your project will count for two entries.

It's CDAC Progressive Challenge #3!!

This was great fun. I loved the images and had a really hard time deciding which one to use. I really fell in love with the sunflower image from JustInklined. I made two copies and double layered the sunflower, the leaves and the butterfly. Used Chalk on most of it, also some Glaze Pens and of course, its not complete without glitter. Also added some daisy punches in different shades of yellow and "A happy Hello" stamp. I thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and hope you come play along. You can join us here! We'd love to have you. Enjoy the cards and let me know you stopped by!

Guylou's Inimitability Challenge STARS!!!

Hi everyone. Here is my entry for Guylou's challenge. The rules are it must be a thank you card and one with stars! It was a fun challenge and so many cute images to choose from at Guylou's store! Take a hop over and check them out. I loved this little gal with her dog. So sweet. You've got until September 29th to join us. Come play along. You can find out more details here and here. I promise you its a ton of fun!!
For my image I used Guylou's Olivia digistamp (she's free!!). I used paper from my stash with a turquoise background and purple stars and swirls. I also used a metal embellishment that says "fun". I cut the star out of dark purple paper and popped up Olivia to make her look like she is sitting on the star. Sorry my picture taking is horrible. They saying is from some clear stamps I have from Michael's craft store. It was a bit plain until I jazzed it up with Stardust Stickles. FUN FUN FUN!! Enjoy...

Part Two of the CDAC Progressive Challenge

This is the second challenge. I used the image from Jensdigistamps. Isn't he just adorable. I made him into a female version for the second bookmark. I just kept seeing a big ole bow on his/her head..hehe...If you can't see the sayings very well (sorry about the quality) it says: "A book is like a garden carried in the pocket" and "outside of a dog a book is mans best friend. Inside of a dog, its too dark to read." I added embroidery floss with beads to the ends. What fun!! Come and join us for some more fun times!!!
