Save the hooters

Today at Catch the Bug is Friday Freebie and it's Pink Ribbon Gals Stella. This one means a lot to me since my Mom is a Survivor of Breast Cancer for 10 years now. I also have two Aunts that have also been diagnosed so I have another two more cards to make. For the oval background I dry embossed hearts and rubbed sandpaper over them.

Always on my mind

My Aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer the other month.  She had a lumpectomy on Valentine's Day.  I made this card for her.  My Mother also had breast cancer so now there is going to be genetic testing done since Grandma too.  Sentiment is from TLC, Create.

Cancer messed with the wrong GIRL!

My Mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer seven years ago and she remains cancer free.  My Grandmother was also diagnosed with Breast Cancer so this is something that is very important to me.  For many years, I worked as an Oncology Research Nurse so I have worked with many women over the years and the pink theme is something that I am quite aware of and support.  My image is from Imagine That Digistamp and is BCA Full Support and the papers are Awareness Ribbons Pink.  I added some stickles to the breast cancer loop in the sentiment as well as in the bra loop.
