Blessed at 60 Birthday & Blogiversary Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome Crafty Friends to Day 2 of the Blessed at 60 Birthday and Blogiversary Blog Hop!

If you've hopped over from Carla's blog, then you're in the right place. But, if you're just visiting my blog and would like to start at the beginning, then hop on over to Kathie's blog.

For today's project, Kathie (our hostess and Birthday Girl) asked us to make something that had to do with a cancer, since she is a kidney cancer survivior.

Kathie asked each of us to chose a particular cancer to honor/celebrate, and she even found out all the different colors that each cancer/group is represented by.

For my project I chose the honor my Grandma Ruby who passed away from colon cancer. The color that represents colon cancer is dark blue.

Here is my project:





I made a picture frame and as soon as I get a picture of my Grandma, I will be adding it. I wanted it to have a vintagey look and be accented with dark blue. I added her name, and a few sayings that remind me of her. My Grandma was crafty (that's where I get it from) and she sewed alot, so the buttons are for her sewing.

Details:
* Cardstock is Recollections
* Patterned paper is from the DCWV "At Home" stack
* 'Ribbon' is cut at 4" using "Stand and Salute" cartrdige, embossed with the "Texture" Cuttlebug embossing folder
* 'Ruby' is cut using the "Lyrical Letters" cartridge, and I welded the letters together using my Gypsy
