Pink Ribbon Note--CFC59

Hi there!  I am back with an entry into this week’s CAS-ual Friday challenge. The current challenge is CFC59: round and round where two circles are used in the design.

I opted to make a small note card--a 4 inch square card with my Aunt in mind. She can use this for a thank you note for one of her Avon Breast Cancer Walk supporters or use it for a small display. This card is just the right size to perch on her desktop at work. She is always looking for ways to bring about awareness of breast cancer research and the walk she does annually to raise funds and I think this may be a great little conversation starter with anyone who comes by her desk...

Here it is:

Thanks for stopping by!

“Pretty In Pink”

Hi there!  Last week was the very first blog challenge that I entered. I must say that it was a very positive experience. Thank you to everyone who visited my blog and/or left an encouraging comment! It was just what I needed to get going and hopefully I can make this a routine when my schedule allows.

This week, I’m back with an entry for my second CAS-ual Fridays blog challenge.  The latest challenge is CFC58 “Pretty In Pink”. Pink is included in my “favorite color themes” category--I love the color and I’m always creating pink ribbon cards for breast cancer awareness. Yesterday, I made a card that has a breast cancer theme but does not incorporate the pink ribbon. It is simply a “hope” card. I did something else new in this creation, and that is to use clear glass beads over pink paper to make the pink background for the butterfly. It adds just the right amount of sparkle and texture (didn’t show through well in the still photograph but looks great in real life). Hmmmm...I wonder what else I can use these glass beads on?   Thanks for visiting!


Stay inspired,

Sabrina

Thinking Pink

The Washington DC Avon Walk for Breast Cancer  took place several weekends ago.  It is an event that my Aunt Mary faithfully trains for, fund raises for and participates in every year. She has raised more than $51,000 over the last 12 years and her commitment has never wavered. I am in awe of her dedication to such a wonderful cause... Breast cancer has touched someone close to many of us and I am thankful to those who are sacrificing in order to help eradicate this horrible disease. I made this card for my Aunt who is definitely “in it to end it”. 

Stay inspired,  Sabrina
