Suzanne is giving away some gorgeous pink blog candy. She wants to do something special for her blogoversary and 30,000 hits BLOG CANDY. The October "Think Pink" campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness is very close to her heart and I am sure it is the same for many of you too. So when the new "Tilda Think Pink" stamps were released on Saturday she was straight on the site to order 2 Tilda's and a couple of sentiments. She has decided as us girls have been so kind and supportive over the past year that she is going give one of each... a BCA Tilda and sentiment along with lots of pink goodies to make our cards with. No picture at the moment but as soon as the stamps arrive she will post one. She is to keep this open for the whole month of October and she will get her Mum to choose a winner on Friday 31st October at 20.00 hrs. Here is what she would like us to do.. "if you have time can you make a pink card and send it to someone who could do with a little tender loving care. It would be lovely if it was someone who's life has been touched by this terrible disease but it can be anyone who could do with a kind word and a beautiful card to cheer them up. I am sure we all know someone."
Well I definitely do! My Auntie was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and has had surgery and spent the whole summer having Chemotherapy and is now having Radiotherapy. Hopefully things will begin to look up for soon. 2008 most definitely hasn't been a good year for her and her family. So this is the card that I enter into Suzanne's blog candy competition and will be sending to my Auntie to let her know even though we live so many miles away, she's still very much in our thoughts!
I have based this card on the sketch at Tilda & Co Challenge . My first ever entry for this challenge blog. CS ~ pink pearl card, Papermill, DP's and sentiment which reads "faith hope strength" ~ Summer Driggs Awareness, blooms and pearls ~ stash, image ~ coloured with Whisper markers and paper pieced.
