CCC CHALLENGE # 47

Hey Crafty Friends

This week over at CCC the design team was asked to make a Breast Cancer Awareness card, using any cartridge and color.  Breast Cancer Research is a organization that I try to support when ever I can.  My Grandmother died of breast cancer in 1997 and my mother-in-law is a breast cancer survivor for 15 years now...

Breast cancer research has come along way since my Granmother had it. It is true some of us will get breast cancer and some of us will not, but prevention is the key... I know we are all very busy but it only takes a few minutes to check for lumps and getting yearly female exams is a must... We as mothers spend so much time taking care of everybody else that we seem to never have enough time for ourselves. 

So to all my readers please take the time to take care of yourself...with that said I am getting down from the "SOAP BOX"..lol

So back to the challenge..... when I found out I would be making a breast cancer card the ideas seem to pour out from everywhere.....I don't know why maybe because it means so much to me that we find a cure....So in typical "Melissa Style".  I started thinking "outside the box".  I knew I didn't want to do a typical pink ribbon card, but what to do..... I wanted to remind all my girlfriends that taking care of themselves is important but I had to add a little humor to a sometimes uncomfortable subject.

So here it is:  I hope it makes you smile and reminds you to take care of yourself.

Card Front

Pedestal Flap

Card is a Pedestal Card 4/1/4 x 5 1/2 (each mat is 1/4 in smaller than the previous)

Boo (Mini Monsters) of course I did !!!!

Bees (Create A Critter) cut @ 2,1 1/2, 1 inch

Wording (Feeling Groovy)

Check Mark (Hand Cut)

Black Brads (from my Stash)

Diamond Stickles (wings)

Devine Swirls Cuttlebug Folder
Foam Dots (bees and sentiment)

Like I said earlier the ideas started coming from way deep inside this "quirky head " of mine so by the time I finished I had made about 6 cards for this one challenge. ....Cool Huh?

So I will be giving these to my friends this week to remind them to take care of themselves also.

I will be posting them over the next few days so you to can see them also.

I invite all of you to make a Breast Cancer Card for some one you love and care about....It only takes a little while and who knows it might make a difference it someones life.

Need some Creative Inspiration?
Come join us at CCC the design team has some absolutley wonderful cards to get your creativity flowing...
Already have some idea?
We would love to see them post them at CCC so we can come and visit you and see what you have been up too.
Sorry for such a long blog post, but sometimes you just gotta SAY IT!!! lol...

Until Next Time
