Breast Cancer Awareness

I join the millions who come together to help raise awareness of breast cancer.  I lost family members and I know survivors as well. I will post this card in the challenge at Link Up For Pink.

I continue to be inspired by a KittieKraft wreath card.  I used Impression Obsession twig wreath and sprigs along with old fern punch, MS fern punch and Scor-Pal to make score lines on white wall.

Stella and I are on a mission

OBG Thursday (Oldies But Goodies)

Catch the Bug

Stella is my inner - child that says things I think, but dare not say.  Ribbon Gals - Stella is a digital image from Bugaboo Stamps.  Jodie has an entire team of "Ribbon Gals" you really need to check out."  Yes, I use humor, but with sincerity and a warm, loving, concerned heart. If I made someone smile, laugh, and think about "Breast Cancer Awareness" through my cards, then I have done my job.

My mission is to post a card every other day at LINK UP FOR PINK.  Such a wonderful group of ladies who have worked hard to spread the word.  The challenge also offers some awesome prizes.

My next card will include dear ole Gus. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2010, about 1,970 new cases of breast cancer in men would be diagnosed and that breast cancer would cause approximately 390 deaths in men. Most cases of male breast cancer are detected in men between the ages of 60 and 70, although the condition can develop in men of any age.  That may only be 1% compared to women, but do you want your husband, father or brother to be that statistic?????

Please find a cure....

....Pink is not my color!
Link Up For Pink
Breast Awareness Month

Yes, I use humor to attack the issue.....anything that will remind ladies (and gentlemen) to do a monthly check, to educate family and friends, and show support.  I too, have lost a family member and friend to breast cancer.  On the flip side, I have a family member and several friends who have beat breast cancer and wish to help get the word out!  Early detection and continued research are so important.  (My choice of card creations has met with the "seal of approval" from family and friends who have fought and won this battle.)

I used JJ - Pink Ribbons Gals  from Bugaboo Stamps to help spread the word. I continue my quest to support LINK UP FOR PINK....please join me!
