Think Pink!

Hi!  Welcome to the first Digistamps 4 Joy challenge for October of 2011.  For those of you that aren't aware, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  So, for our challenge, we want you to Think Pink and create a project with lots of pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness!


As many of you know, I was born in October.  I've adopted the cure for breast cancer as my pet charity.  I am always ready to support the cause, and even do a few fundraisers for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  In fact, there have been some very exciting developments coming out of Penn State recently...you can go here to read the details.  We're one step closer to discovering a cure, and that is just fabulous.  I was just thrilled when I found out the theme of this challenge.  Who doesn't know someone who has fought, is fighting or has been affected by this disease?  Sometimes even a little thing like a handmade card can bring so much joy.

For my card I used Dress on a Hanger, which is absolutely perfect for paper piecing.  My papers are from DCWV's Glam Gal stack and Doodlebug Design's All Occasion designer paper value pack.  The dies for the flowers are from Stampin' Up.  The tag is part of a freebie set from Femke, which can be found here. The charm is a left over from breast cancer bracelets I made as a fundraiser years ago.

Why don't you head over to the Digistamps 4 Joy challenge blog to check out what the rest of the team created? You don't want to miss it!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I really hope to see you join in our challenge!  =D  Hugs!

I am also entering this into The Crazy Challenge: Think Pink
