I just noticed as I signed into my blog that this is my 100th post! That is certainly a milestone so of course there will be candy! More on that in a sec! You should know by now that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I don't know anyone who doesn't know at least ONE person affected by this horrible disease. We all have someone, family or friend. So this week over at SCS they are going PINK! All the challenges this week will have a pink feel to them. I hope I can join in on some! But to kick off PINK week and in honor of BCAM here is a little pink card of my own!


This is a wedding card I made for my cousin who got married last weekend. I couldn't go due to CKC. But I wanted to at least send a card with a little somethin inside! I stamped the big heart from Always twice on white and black in versamark and then embossed them using CTMH's silver pearl EP - it is so pretty - not a real strong silver. I cut them out, cutting the white layer down more and then layered them added some sheer ribbon and bling and that's about it!

Tools:
CS: Black, White, Pretty in Pink
Ink: Versamark
Other: CTMH Silver Pearl EP, Sheer Wedding Ribbon from HL, Adhesive Rhinestones

Oh and the candy! Leave me a post that has something to do with the word pink or your story about someone with BC and I will let Kaden draw one out to win a small little pink goodie box!

This layout was for my Serendipity Scrapbooks, Sketch-a-pa-looza, challenge this weekend. It is a "chalkboard" challenge. Since I'm a teacher and for back to school I am challenging everyone to create a layout using Black and White with only ONE accent color. There are some EXTRA challenges if you wanna head over to the crop forum HERE. They include a sketch, photo option, and a cool technique with a step by step tutorial! So about the layout. These are photos of my son at MY wedding. He was almost 2 and was our ring bearer. It was a very special day for all of us! He stole the show throwing the pillow down the aisle and then later tearing it up on the dance floor! I used a transparency on the bottom middle photo to focus in on him. I also got to try out Ghost Letters finally! Very fun! I inked up the edges with Stazon for a cool effect. A simple layout but with all those photos I didn't want to overcrowd it! I also used my Making Memories tiny alphas - I {heart} those little booggers!!!!!
This is a close up of the top left corner where I followed the scallop for the date and his age. And isn't that a great pic of him and my dad?! It's the only picture that his flower made it into!!!! It didn't last very long! Well thanks for looking and go check out my challenge and the others for some scrappy inspiration this weekend! Heck you might even win something!
