Another Breast Cancer Awareness Thank You card

So here is the other Breast Cancer Awareness Thank You card I made for one of my nurses who cared for me over the last 5 months during my chemo treatments. My design was inspired by the challenge over at Mojo Monday (see the sketch below). You can see the other BCA Thank You card HERE.

I tried to get a picture of this circle to show off the stickle I used around the edge of the circle and on the dots but unfortunately it didn't catch the light very well.

Here is the very simple inside...I left it this way so I could leave my own personal thank you.

I used these items to create this BCA Thank You card (ALL of which I had on hand):

• Design Studio
• George and Basic Shapes Cricut cartridge - circles
• Ultimate Creative Series Cricut cartridge - Awareness Ribbon
• White heart shape brade - on the awareness ribbon
• ribbon - on the front and inside of card
• Swiss dots embossing folder - on the pink circle
• Stickles - on the pink circle
• Misc. clear "Thank You" stamp - on the pink circle
• Stickabilites Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon sticker - on the inside

I am entering this card in the following challenges and linky party:

• Use it Tuesday Challenge #49 - Fasteners - I used a white heart brad on the awareness ribbon
• Craft Your Passion Challenge #150 - All That Glitters - I used stickles on the pink circle, around the edge and on the embossed dots, plus there are glittered ribbons on the top circle
• Mojo Monday 281 - SEE SKETCH

Breast Cancer Awareness Thank You Easel card

Well, yesterday was my last day for chemo, treating me for breast cancer. Making paper crafts of all sorts was just one of the things I would do during these treatments to pass the time. Plus, it really was the only time I could have peace and quiet to do my crafts. So since this was my last treatment I wanted to make Thank You cards for the 2 nurses who have been there helping me through it over the last 5 months, and this is one of them.

I wrote my own personal thank you on the underside. It is bittersweet to know I won't be going back but to only get my port flushed every six weeks until it is removed and any appointments that I may have to go to see the doctor. These nurses are fabulous and I just wanted to let them know they are appreciated!

I used these items to create my BCA Thank You easel card (ALL of which are products I had on hand):

• Design Studio - weld the "THANK YOU"
• Ultimate Creative Series Cricut cartridge - Awareness Ribbon
• Street Signs Solutions Crciut cartridge - "THANK YOU"
• White heart brads
• White gel pen - "THANK YOU" 

I am entering this card in the following challenge and linky party:

• Use it Tuesday Challenge #49 - Fasteners - I used 2 white heart brads: 1 on the awareness ribbon and 1 on the "Thank You"
• DL ART - Thankful Thursday - Linky Party - Anything Goes

Cricut® Pink Journey Solutions™ Cartridge IN STOCK

For those of you who are and will be supporting Breast Cancer Awareness month in October here is your chance to get a hold of the very elusive Cricut Pink Journey Solutions Cartridge.  Ever since I was diagnosed with my own breast cancer on June 29, 2012 I have been trying to get involved more and finding this cartridge was nearly impossible for under $60.00.  So today just by chance I was looking through Cricut Machine.com and they had it for $24.99 so I thought maybe Cricut.com would have it again too and sure enough they did and it was cheaper for only $19.99 plus shipping.  So I snagged mine...you should too while they last, who knows for how much longer they will be available at all.

BTW...I am not a representative of either Cricut Machine.com or Cricut.com, just your average everyday consumer excited to share my findings in hopes that it might help someone else.
