Pink Bobby Socks

Hello.  Today I'm sharing a card I made for one of the Splitcoaststampers Hope You Can Cling To punch/die challenges and for the annual Link Up For Pink blog challenge.  Having lost both my mom and grandmother to breast cancer, I'm definitely a supporter of breast cancer research.

My card was made in memory of my mom whom grew up in the 50's with the bobby socks, Elvis, juke boxes, drive in's, etc.  I started off by printing a Sassy Studio Design bobby sock digi onto white card stock then coloring it with prismacolor markers before die cutting it with a spellbinders oval die.  Then I die cut several music notes before dry embossing a couple of layers of pink card stock using an allegro embossing folder with my big shot and sponging regal rose ink over the embossed musical notes before assembling my card.  The final touch was to add some Heidi Swap photo corners and Recollections music note brads to die everything together.  This sassy girl sure looks like my mom in some of her high school photos.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Pink Ribbons For Mom

Hello and welcome.  This is a hard post to write.  Today I am sharing a card I made for my mom using Sassy Studio Designs Support A Cause digital image and Think Pink sentiments from last years October Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

After downloading and coloring my image, I layered the image and sentiments using pixie pink card stock before dry embossing a light pink panel then adding a scrap border left over from punching a couple of light mauve borders.  The only embellishments I added were some faux brads, a punched pink ribbon, and a pink marker spritzed over the main image.

Challenges entered:

Sassy Studio - DTBST #174
Link Up For Pink #9
PCP Cuttlebug Challenge #161
Love To Create Challenge #63 - Punches or Dies

Now the reason this post is hard to write, my mom lost her battle with breast cancer 19 years ago next month on May 19th.  She was only 41 - way to young to go.  So I have decided to make cards to help support and encourage others fighting cancer in memory of my mom.  Mom, I hope you like it.  I will be putting this one aside to mail off the MD Anderson Cancer Center during the yearly SCS card drive.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.
