PPA14 - In the Pink

The little "flecks" on the heart are actually bits of Irridescent Ice embossing.The camera is not picking up the shimmer from the embossed heart.

This week we are "In the Pink" for Breast Cancer Awareness... celebrating cancer survivors, and remembering those that continue to battle, as well as the countless number of family and friends that have been touched by this disease.

It seems like everyone has a sister, mother, aunt, daughter, relative or friend that has battled breast cancer. My husband lost his mother to breast cancer when she was in her early 30's.

The PPA Design Team is honored to dedicate this week's challenge to Karol Harris, and her loving daughter (and PPA Design Team member), Kris Kilcoyne.

PPA11 - Color Challenge

This weeks challenge is a color challenge with Perfect Plum, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. I wanted to keep the colors light and the overall look clean. Even though it is fall, these colors remind me of spring so I thought flowers. I used the Big Shot Birds and Blooms dies with small circle stamps from Always. The greeting is from So Many Scallops ( retired hostess) and mounted with dimensionals on a Scallop Circle punch. I love how Stampin' Up! products coordinate so well with each other and how this scallop circle punch matches the flowers. One of my new favorites is the 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbons, so I happily added the old olive ribbon to underline the little flowers.
