I'd first like to thank Shana for inviting me to take part in this hop. I feel honored to be among so much talent!
My blog and project today will be dedicated to a friend of mine who just finished her treatment a week ago. She has put together a team "A Pink Moose" to participate in a Susan G Komen Race for the Cure here in town. My kids and I will be supporting her for this walk.
I made this "Strength" word book for her to scrap some photos and journal some memories from the walk. It's my first word book and I used Design Studio for the welding. (It's a little hard to tell what the word is because of the number of letters and I only have a Create, so I was limited on space)
Here are some pictures:
(Warning: There are quite a few pictures because I wanted to share each page with you. I hope you don't mind.)
I used cereal boxes, soda boxes, and cookie boxes for the chipboard. I added lots of pink bling to the pages (I hope it's not too much). I left off the photo mats because I don't want her to be limited to the number and size of pictures. I have extra papers that we can add later if she wants.
Details:
Don Juan for the letters (height is 5 inches)
Animal Kingdom for the moose
Forever Young for the "gorgeous" and "fabulous" words
Storybook for the butterfly swirls and sentiment frames
Martha Stewart butterfly punch
Bazzill cardstock
patterned papers from Recollections, Making Memories, and Heidi Grace
sticky gems and pearls
i-rock gems
ribbon from Michael's
pink Stickles
sentiments from Inkadinkado (heat embossed with silver powder)
Cropodile used to punch the holes
Here are pictures of what I'm offering:
Some pink flowers and bling, a clear stamp, and a hand made fabric flower hair clip/pin.
The winner will be able to choose if you'd like the flower to be a hair clip or a pin. (I have more flower hair clips in my etsy shop if you're interested.)
We also have a sponsor for this fabulous Blog Hop
Oh My Crafts!
They are donating 5 $5.00 gift certificates and 5 2x2 pink ribbon die cuts for your cuttlebug/bigshoot!
To enter just leave me a comment and follow if you'd like. (I'll have some blog candy once I reach 100 followers!) Don't forget to leave a way for me to get ahold of you. The hop ends on Sunday October 17, 2010 at 11:30PM. I'll post the winner of my prize on Monday the 18th. The winner will have 1 week to respond or I will need to pick someone else.
