For My card I chose to use Stamping Bella's "CherryBlossom". I used real red c/s, and Rocabilly dsp. The shiny red c/s, cherry brads, and flowers are all from my stash. The sentiment I wrote and I'm hoping it doesn't look to bad.

Breast Cancer Awareness Blog Hop(e)

Welcome to the breast cancer awareness blog hop(e). We all have been touched by Breast Cancer - lost someone, know someone who has it, are battling it ourselves. Let's do our little part to bring some awareness to this disease and celebrate all the survivors. So if you are just joining us then you can start here, at Michelle's blog, or if your already hop(e)ing from blog to blog then go on, and hop(e) on to Tami's blog, who's next.





For this card that I am soooo proud of, I used everything from my stash. I used 2 different shades of pink cardstock and pink dsp paper from SU, as well as the ribbon. The flowers, brads, pearls and the "celebrate...life" sentiment is all from my stash (which I believe either came from the local scrapbook store or from Michaels)! I just adore this card, which I specifically made for my mother-in-law, who is currently winning against breast cancer. Woot Woot, go mom!

Let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy looking as much as I had fun creating!
Hugs, Melinda
