Breast Cancer Awareness Project

Hey Everybody!  There's a new challenge this week over a Bitten by the Bug 2.  This week we'd like you to make a project to support a health awareness, such as breast cancer, Lupus, Luekemia, etc...your choice!  

Boy did this really hit home for me.  My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in February.  Since then she has undergone a mastectomy and is now on week 16 of 24 weeks of chemo with radiation to follow.  So far we've gotten great news, and scans right before chemo showed she was cancer free!!  She still has quite a bit ahead of her, but I know she is so strong!

So this project has to be one of the most special things I've made.  This framed project will hold a very special picture!  It is for the day she rings her bell on her last day of chemo!  I want her to always remember how strong she has been even when she hasn't felt like it at all.  

Supplies/Details:

Hope-Gypsy Wanderings-2.25 in.

Butterfly-Once Upon a Princess-2.00 in. 

Flowers-Once Upon a Princess 1 in. and 1.5 in.

Frame-Elegant Edges-8.35 in.

Pink Mat-5 x 7

Recollections Cardstock

Hope to see you enter the challenge this week!!

And speaking of my Mom, over on my food blog I have a delicious dessert for your next family gathering:  Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding

It's a Paula Deen recipe and it is divine!!

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge 17

I was so excited to see this week is a sketch challenge at Peachy Keen.  I decided to create a layout instead of a card.  I am a scrapbooker at heart.  I am MONTHS...no YEARS behind now.  I am still scrapbooking 2010 right now.  I make a chronological album per year for each of my children.  We recently welcomed our third child in February, so now I REALLY feel behind!  Needless to say, I feel very compelled to do a layout...or several for that matter!  So here it is...

This was really fun to make.  I've learned so much about layouts over this past year of following blogs.  The details make all the difference (when I have time to put them in there).

Supplies:

Perfume, lipstick, blow dryer-Paisley cartridge-2.5 in.

Tag behind title-Once Upon a Princess

Pretty Princess-Life's a Party-2.5 in.

PKS-Happy Lashes Assortment

Cardstock-Papertrey Ink

Patterned Paper-from my stash

Ek Sucess-Scalloped Border Punch

Ribbon-Raspberry Fizz-Papertrey Ink

And here it is with my oldest little girl's pictures:

Have a great day!
