A breast cancer Halloween card

Many of the cards I make, I sell.

There are Gals from work that have learned they can ask for a card for most any occasion and I will "whip" something up.  I never would have thought it could have happened, but I love it!!!!

Thanks Girls!

Anyway, one of the "girls" that has bought cards in the past, asked if I had made or was going to make breast cancer cards. I told her I had plenty of thoughts in my head, but hadn't made them yet.

 (That is one of my goals for the weekend)

I came home that night and thought some more. 

The thoughts in my head are based off Cricut cuts.

All the Halloween stuff is EVERYWHERE around my house and I saw this stamp.

I put this card together.

The "Gal" that asked about the cards is a 24 year survivor!

That is AWESOME!!!!!!

I made this one FOR her.

I didn't expect she would cry when I gave it to her, but she did.

A good cry, but I hadn't thought about my card making her cry.

The stamp is one from a set by Inkadinkado that I picked up at TJ Maxx!!

The sentiment was computer generated.

The card base is a 5x7 base.

The rest was in "the stash."

The inside said Happy Halloween and I wrote her a note.

Have you made cards for those in your life affected by cancer?

Are you a breast cancer survivor? If so, this card is for you too!!!!

Are you a cancer survivor?? That is awesome!!! HUGS!!!

Speaking of cancer. (blech)

I haven't shared some exciting news with you.

I'm now a volunteer on the committee for our local Relay For Life event. I was asked to be the "Online Chair" If you ask me, that is a pretty boring way of saying the Social Media Chair.

I'm guessing this means you will be seeing Relay related posts and projects in the future!

Happy Weekend Blog friends!

Hugs!

One stamp, some scraps, three cards

It is a beautiful day here in Western PA. I admit it, I sat on the back deck in my shorts, tank top, and sunglasses and closed my eyes for a few earlier. I'm pretty sure I could have taken a nap like that. Our backyard is west facing, that means there isn't a shortage of rays (as long as that nice warm ball of fire comes out for the day)

The peas are growing, as are the beets. I'm a little worried about the spinach seeds. I am wondering if perhaps they didn't receive enough water. I didn't plant the whole packet so we have a second chance if needed. The carrots and onions were planted over the weekend. I planted the chard today. I planted some flower seeds over the weekend too.  Everything will need covered tonight, we are expecting a frost after 2 am.

Enough about the garden. Let's get crafting shall we?

I used a stamp from Inkadinkado to make the following cards. The card bases were premade. Any other paper on the cards came out of the scrap drawers. I have recently cleaned out those drawers and given paper away, but they are still overflowing...ah I love paper!

I did use embossing powder and a heat gun on the stamped image. You can't necessarily tell that from looking at the pictures, but I promise I did.

I hope everyone made it through Monday! If the sun is out where you are, I hope you took a couple minutes and got a couple minutes of peace and vitamin D!
