I'm thinking pink!

Hi there! Today I'm thinking pink in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness month! I have a few projects to share showcasing my support for my dear sister who is currently battling end stage metastatic breast / brain cancer and all the other men and women around the world who are dealing with this terrible disease. Mammograms
First up is a layout that I created featuring my sweet sister and her dear daughter that was taken this summer:
I used a variety of Prima products including pretty papers, flowers, resin embellishments, stencil, texture paste, etc...

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with Prima's October Build A Page sketch challenge:
I also made a card for my dear sister. I'm joining along with this week's PTI Make It Monday challenge where Amy is challenging us to create a project featuring a background built with frames. 
I don't own any PTI frames so I used a couple of various PTI dies to create my own:
The embellishments were also made using various PTI dies and the sentiment is from the Vintage Linen stamp set:
For color inspiration, I joined along with the current ColourQ challenge:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)

  23. Hi Mona!! I'm back from vacation catching up on all of your beautiful projects I've missed while I've been gone!! I wanted to leave a comment on each one but blogger has decided I'm a spammer and I have to go through the click on "not a robot" button and the picture captcha. Ugh. So I'm sorry I can't comment on each project but they are all amazing!!

    These are both stunning!! What a beautiful layout!! The pictures of your sweet sister and niece are gorgeous and you've showcased them perfectly!! The card is so beautiful!! Keeping your sister in my prayers each day. Have a great day!! Big hugs :)
