Hi Friends,

I know I will be needing some of these cards to send out, but I also wanted to have some for my Etsy store and for the show coming. So I will make many more of these also for the upcoming Link Up For Pink.

Here is how I did it:
 I followed the MOJO sketch --

 Here is a close up of the tie dyed ribbon

I used the elegant edges image from page 44 the oblong icon,then to that I added a piece of embossed and stamped on PTI vintage cream card stock. The embossing folder is from the Cuttlebug Asian bundle and the chalk is inkadinkadoo, the stamp is Ruby reprise (PTI) with Jenni Bowlin bubble gum ink.  I cut out a circle and stamped praying for you (VERVE: love it). With CTMH hollyhock marker pen I made faux stitch marks. I added the Tim Holtz ribbon and then topped it off with a tie died Ribbon die from PTI.
I love how the card came out.

Good Morning Friends,

This is October  and it is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I don't know if you all noticed for my post title yesterday  I put Breast Awareness month -- I decided I better go change that it probably meant something totally different.

Earlier in the summer I was telling you all, how we have temperatures in the 70's  and that is our norm?
Well, yesterday we hit 101 degrees. We are definitely not use to this kind of weather.  We do not have air conditioning, merely for that reason. Today we get a reprieve it should only get to 87.  To top it off I went to the gallery to hand deliver the art work and I parked in the wrong place. No, I didn't get a ticket, I just had a zillion stairs to climb up in the 101 degree weather. I probably needed the exercise, but I didn't need to do it in a sauna. 

I hope you enjoy this piece.

Last month I made a short video ( click here ) on making rosettes and at the time I knew I would be using them for this purpose. I will be making a BCA (Breast Cancer Awareness) card everyday for LUFP until the 14th.

I had fun with this card. The glitter is out now, and I'm trying to put a little sparkle in the lives of Breast cancer survivors.

Monday- ------ BREAST CANCER CARDS going out today---

I got the cards finished for the Nurse in Wisconsin that had contacted Robyn at MY PINK STAMPER for help
once I started the project I didn't want to stop. So they go in the mail today. I really hope she gets the 1600 cards she needs. I made 24 and they are not all the same, so I really didn't do production line so it took a bit longer. I feel a really worthy cause. I have many relatives in my family that have had breast cancer. A male cousin that died of it, so my heart really goes out to these people and their families.
Hope you all have a great day. Hopefully I will get a chance to make something to enter a challenge today. Unfortunately I have a lot of other things to do.-----
The stamps I used for the cards were sStampedous and TPC studio

the ribbon is a Sizzix die and the papers are DCWV, My minds Eye and for the inside I used Eaton premium ink jet paper. I used an edge trimmer for the scallop.
If you would like to see each card, I made a short VIDEO you can watch it HERE.

I will be picking the winner for Jo's blog hop either today or tomorrow so be sure and check back

THURSDAY- Evening- BREAST CANCER BREAKFAST-CARDS NEEDED

I'm passing this message along from MY PINK STAMPER  for all of you who may have missed it BREAST CANCER

I am making some more cards this lady really needs our help to make it wonderful for people who are having a rough time.  Right now I can do it but some day I may not be able to.  I know when I do service that helps others I am blessed. I am very thankful for the opportunity to help others.PTL

For the info on today's post (Click here)

For the info when it originally came out   (Click Here)

or you can read the letter here:

"I really need your help along with the your followers. Long story short. I am a nurse at the Medical of WI in Plastic and Reconstruction dept. We specialize in the forefront in reconstruction for breast cancer. Women from all over the country come to us.  This year I/we decided to sponsor the breakfast for breast cancer survivors. 1500 women who have had breast cancer or who are actively dealing with it now will attend this breakfast before the run/walk.

Every year prior to this year I have made something for the women and handed it out at the end of the race/walk. To my astonishment people would be grabbing-pushing aside other women and men to get what I was handing out. Ex: white and pink chocolate covered Oreos, wrapped pink and white M&M's mini bags. TO my astonishment again the cancer survivors really didn't receive what I made.

Well this year, the breakfast will be catered by one of the best chefs in Milwaukee. I feel it is an honor to sponsor this. Where you come in - Please if one person could make a card to support uplift make someone smile. It would make their day. The card would be placed at their seat. Please Please help! 

I would be happy to give my address if you could ask people to help me with this. Just 1 card - 1500 Pink Stamper followers. The Breakfast is on September 28th.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Mortl RN,CPSN
