Pastel Christmas

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, only one more month till Christmas!!! This month my SAS (San Antonio Swap) girls and I are making pink and green Christmas cards which I paired with the awesome sketch over at The Sweet Stop. I loved my little pastel cards so much I made up another 1/2 dozen for my ETSY shop!

Think PINK

This week over at Hand Stamped Sentiments, the challenge is to create a project using PINK, I may or may not have gone overboard with the whole "pink" theme but really, can a girl have too much pink ever?? I think NOT! 

HSS challenge #88

I created a friend card and a banner, which I debated on making say "live", "love" or the usual "hope" but in the end LOVE won. I used an array of pink products, all SU! except for the pink ribbon DP, letters & the pink crepe paper. I've listed the products used below.

on my card, I took a scrap of paper and layered 1/2" pieces of the ribbon DP & Pretty in Pink and then ran it through my Big Shot with the top note die creating a fun striped background

My Grandmother had breast cancer and was a survivor, she has now passed but her memory will live in my heart forever. I'm sure you all know someone or by third degree of separation, have heard of someone affected by breast cancer. Early detection is key and what a simple reminder to send your friend a handmade PINK card in the mail this month!
