My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop Challenge

I have a ton of updates to give and some more projects to post!  I'm very limited on time but wanted to share the project I completed for MPS's Pinkalicious Blog Hop that happened this past Friday.  Side note:  according to the MPS page this blog hop occurs every 2nd Friday of the month!!!

  The challenge was to show your style making your favourite thing e.g. colour combo, technique, or Cricut cartridge.  Soo...I thought, what would I make if I could make one of my favourite things??  Well, I love to give back to the community and every Mother's Day I run the Susan G Komen Race for a Cure.  I think in the past couple of years (5+) I've only missed one race!  This being said, I wanted to use the Cricut cartridge, Pink Journey, that was included in my Cricut bundle to make a fabulous project for the challenge.  The project I posted here served double duty as I made this card for a friend who is currently battling breast cancer.  I was excited to do 2 of my favourite things with this challenge...one to support a friend in need and secondly show my "style" through my paper crafts....I hope you enjoy! and thanks to MPS for the opportunity to participate in such a fun blog hop!

I used plain Recollections Brown Card Stock for the card (measurements 5.5X4.5)
I used the Cricut cartridge Pink Journey for both the ribbon and the phrase (cut at 3.5)
I used Me and My Big Ideas Pastel 5X7 Paper Pad
Sizzix embossing folder (sorry misplaced the packet so not sure of the name)

Day ???

I have no followers but that's okay...I am still going to do my thing and update the blog.  I have been a crafting fool lately.  The Cricut Expression machine I received as an xmas gift is awesome!!!  I've made cards for birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, and now my latest and greatest...welcome baby!!!  My best friend from college just added a new addition to her family and I wanted to make something special for her and her new bundle of joy...what better way than to show up with dinner and a hand-made card.  I'm super excited to do just that on Saturday!!!  I wanted to post my latest creation in hopes that someone might actually look at this blog and provide me some much needed criticism/help/encouragement/complements???? I'm reaching here people!
