Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Nothing to Lose. We were to make a card for a Breast Cancer, or any cancer patient. We could not use designer paper, ribbon or Hodge Podge Hardware. We could, however, use punches!
So, I made my own ribbon by running a 1" strip of Regal Rose through my crimper. I stamped the flowers several times on different "pinks" and cut out petals to adhere to the bases.
I purchased It's All Good because of this saying: Live, Laugh & Love. It is one of my favorite mantras. And better yet, my Best Friend KNOWS I try to live my life by it!
Of course, if you know me, you already know that my best friend, (other than my husband), is undergoing pre-surgery Chemo. She has breast cancer, and WILL BE a survivor. If it is by shear will, she will survive.
I'm a survivor, too. I stayed clear for 20 years and am proud to say that I was never supposed to make it more than 30-45 DAYS! Shear will and my mantra: Live, Laugh & Love. Go figure! LOL!
So, I will present this card to her tonight, as we are all going to dinner and a movie.
