Calling All Sistahs Blog Hop - October Edition

Calling All Sistahs is a campaign started by Michele Gross of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps after her discovery of breast cancer.   The idea behind it is to remind our sistahs to do their monthly self exams and annual mammograms.  Michele designed the Calling All Sistahs collection during her cancer treatment and is now donating 50% of her profits from that line to National Breast Cancer Foundation.  This is an important reminder for all my sistahs.

Did you know that 1 in 8 women in the US and 1 in 9 women in Canada will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. Look around, do you see 8 (or 9) women? Think about it, on average, one of them will develop breast cancer. It's up to us to do something to do what we can to reduce that incidence. Annual mammograms and monthly self exams are one way for us to take an active role. This is your monthly reminder.

Michele is being super generous by offering to the winner, the new release from CASual Fridays, including a new Calling All Sistahs style stamp set.to those leaving comments on the various stops of the blog hop. Only the comments left before 12:00am on the 19th of October will be considered for the great prize.

We'd love to have you join us on this important Blog Hop. So, next month, the Calling All Sistahs' Blog Hop will require the use of any CASual Fridays product, no longer restricted to the Calling All Sistahs' product line. Won't you join us and help us to spread the word?

Here's my card

I started with Kite Stencil's Aladdin's Screen stencil. I added different shades of pink with ink blending tools. I matted this panel with a bright pink. For the sentiment, I used my MISTI (who was I to think that I didn't need this tool?). The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays' Calling All Sistahs stamp set. I matted the sentiment using the same bright pink as the card matte using a Spellbinders die. It felt that the card needed a bit more, so I added some sheer pink ribbon.

Next on the blog hop is Vicki Dutcher
