Hope...



Hi Friends!

The month of October is just flying by!  Is it for
you too?  Being that the month of October is
Breast Awareness month I thought I'd make a
card and enter a challenge over at CR84FN. 
Have you gotten your mammogram this year?
Mine is scheduled for 10-24-12.  I just saw
my gynecologist last week.  I knew one day
that it was coming, but didn't want to face it.
He told me that he is retiring next July.  I've
gone to him for twenty years.  He is my
favorite doctor of all doctors.  Just a sweet
caring doctor.  But, he deserves a wonderful
retirement filled with fun and relaxation!

Ok, on to my card now.  I used several die
cuts on this card.  I did some gold embossing
on the butterfly and label.  The large label
background was stamped with text in re-
gards to breast cancer.  Tiny pearls, gem
flourish, felt hearts, and lace for interest.
Seam binding ribbon with felt butterfly, twine,
and small tag stamped with the word, "hope".

I so hope for a cure for breast cancer one day!
I'm sure we all know someone who has been
affected.  My thoughts and prayers go out to
those who are suffering from any type of
cancer. 

Please stop over at CR84FN Color Challenge
to view the lovely DT inspiration and join in
on the fun!  Thanks so much for dropping
by today!  Take care and have a wonderful
week, hugs!

  2. Maria, your card is fabulous. I love the beading flourish and the way you used the butterfly with your yummy ribbon. It's a beautiful card.

    I hate losing a doctor and lost 2 of mine year before last, an OBGYN that I loved and my GP...hard to start over with new ones.

  6. Very pretty card, Maria! I've lost so many of my doctors in the past year due to retirement or job changes. It's so hard to find someone to replace them when they've been so wonderful.

  9. What a beautiful card, Maria! Good luck with your doctor appointments, and sorry to hear your fave doc is retiring (good for him, bad for his patients). I have a fave, too, and shudder to think of what I'd do without him!
