Link For Pink Project

I was honored with this opportunity to create something  special for the Link Up For Pink Event! Thanks you to Lynne of  Here Craftiness for helping to get these project up and posted. Big hugs to you my blogger friend!
I have lost over half of my immediate family to cancer over the course of 15 years as well as a very dear friend. My Mother age 67, my Father age 77, my younger Sister age 45, and my younger Brother age 54 all diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away within a year of that diagnoses. My dear friend Sandy was also diagnosed with both breast and lung cancer and did not survive even 6 months. I and my two sisters live with the thought that our turn could be next.

I created this cute card to honor all those who Fight this devastating disease and to pay tribute to those who conquer and those who are taken from us. Early detection is important to increasing survival so be sure to get your mammograms and physicals every year!











Base is White card stock. 5.5 x4.25

Mat is double sided card stock from Making Memories “Think Pink”

White card stock for the frame center cut with “Art Philosophy” cartridge

The Image is from Sweet Stamping Treats “Tweets Hoping For A Cure - Digi Stamp Set”

Apiece of pink ribbon glossy accents and Prisma color pens to color the copy of the bird and popped it for a little dimension, and a little pink bling!

Hope you enjoy my creation and tribute.

Big Hugs, Janet
