Pink You've Got This Card

October is breast cancer awareness month and here in the United States 1 in 8 women will experience invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. To support the awareness campaign I've made this Pink You've Got This Card using the You've Got This stamp set by Stampin' Up!. 

Last year I made a very similar card (click here) using purple for domestic violence awareness month, which is also in October. Each of these awareness campaigns are very important to the physical and mental health of countless women. Early detection and education can help in both accounts. Knowledge is power!

This Pink You've Got This Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Dragonfly Dreams: Think Pink
• Unicorn Challenge: Pretty Pinks or Halloween
• The Corrosive Challenge: Pink for Awareness
• Sunny Day Crafting: Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Pink Christmas Card

Oh my! I've made a pink Christmas card! Pink is never my first colour of choice but I have to admit that a pink Christmas card is fun. I believe my youngest niece will love this card and it will be worth seeing the smile on her face when she gets it (especially if there is something inside). The design is from the Stella Says Sketch challenge at the Catch The Bug blog and the snowman digital stamp is by Bugaboo digi stamps. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

This Pink Christmas Card is linked to the following challenges:

> Hooked on Craft: No Red/Green

> Make It Monday: Anything Goes

> Delightful Challenges: Snowflakes
