Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I wanted to make a card to honour two special ladies who've been cancer warriors against this disease.  I pulled out the Awareness Ribbon and Sentiments set designed by Sheri Ballantyne for Spellbinders.

The stamp & die set is part of the We All Have Baggage collection that came out earlier this year, with four amazing die sets, and a wonderful sentiment set.  Check it out - you can find them at the Papercrafter's Workshop (www.craftersworkshop.com).

I also used the Arch Punch & Pierce Plate for the arches, and some very old paper from my stash.

One More Mojo

I'm sneaking in another card for the 400th Mojo Monday sketch... just under the wire!  I have a girlfriend who got some good news after a long battle with breast cancer - and I wanted to make her a card.  Here is Verve's Pink Power in a square card:

Julee is also having a Designer search to add new team members... so I am trying out for that as well :o)

Viva La Verve & Pink Power

Mojo Monday #367

I got a lovely package of happy mail today... a few weeks back, I won Verve's entire October release for one of my coffee cards (yay me!).  I could hardly wait to open it up and start creating.  Two of the stamp sets are perfect to make cards for someone fighting breast cancer, and with October being Breast Cancer Awareness month - I wanted to make and post a few cards.  Here is, I'm sure, the first of many using this week's Mojo Monday sketch:

The October Verve Diva Dare is "Pink Power", so I am entering this there as well!
