Welcome to the "Inking Pink" Blog Hop! ~ I have candy! ;)

Tweet

THIS CANDY IS NOW CLOSED.

Hello Friends! 

If you came here from Susan's awesome blog, you are in the right place!
If you just happened along here, you will want to go back to sweet Patricia's blog to start at the beginning.

There is just something about paper crafting that connects us all. I have become friends with so many wonderful women (and a guy or two) through crafting. I think because it is a way of giving of yourself to others that draws the best kind of people together.  ;) Our craft knows no color, religion, nationality, or orientations of any kind. Our friendships can span the globe.

Sadly, something else we all have in common is the possibility of developing breast cancer.
A staggering 1 in 8 of us will do just that.

Many of us have family or friends that have been affected by breast cancer and all of us want to encourage all of you to check yourself! I had a grandfather (yes males can get it too) die of metastatic breast cancer. I also have an aunt, a RRR design team sister (Jacque), and several friends that are breast cancer survivors because they found theirs early. I myself  have had a couple of scares and biopsies. So in honor of our friends and loved ones, we are "hopping" in hopes of helping to spread awareness throughout the world.

Here is the card that I created for the hop.
It was done with a digital image that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps called "Love Tweet Love". 

Here is a picture of the set.
It is available for instant download for just $3.00!

Here is the blog candy I am offering up for the hop.

Get a chance at winning my candy by posting a picture of my blog candy in your sidebar with a link back to my blog. You can earn a bonus entry by doing a quick post on your blog also.
Also...Please become a follower if you aren't already. ;)

Don't forget to come back here and post a comment that you have posted so I can throw your name in the hat! The winner will come from either this post or the one I did last week sneak peeking the candy. My candy will close at midnight October 31st and I will announce the winner sometime that week. ;)

I absolutely LOVE Martha Stewart glitters so I am giving away the 18 color set as well as a "ton" of other assorted goodies. 300 pieces in all!

I know...the glitters aren't all pink but I don't think anyone will turn down a $30.00 set of glitter because of that! LOL!   ;)

I won't list it all because you can click on the pictures to enlarge for a closer look.

Thanks for helping us spread the word!

Don't be afraid to talk to friends and family and remind them to check their tata's too!

Here are a couple of links that explain how it is done for those of you who are not quite sure.

National Breast Cancer Foundation
American Cancer Society

Please feel free to share the hop info on your blogs so we can get the word out. We really hope this will be a huge hop with a big turnout and hopefully just the first annual of many. 

Who knows..we just might save a life! :)

Hugs,

True :D

A Card From The Heart ;)

Tweet

Hello!

Here is another card for some challenges. I am having fun doing them!  ;)

The stamps are from Verve and the papers are from The Paper Temptress (who I DT for).

I used the following TPT papers:

Neeneh Solar White

Neenah Black

Red Pepper Column

Wild Cherry Poptones

Laser Silver Lustre

Crystal Stardreams

The pictures just don't do the papers justice! It is hard to get all of the shimmer to show up....I tried! ;(

I used my handy dandy Cuttlebug to emboss the hearts on the black paper and Versa Mark and embossing powders to add the stamped images.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

SCS Limited supply challenge says to use reds, whites, pinks, and black. (Don't have to use them all). Make a card for someone special...(hubby), and incorperate polk-a-dots.

Viva La Verve gave us some inspiration photos and a sketch to follow. I am playing catch-up on last weeks with this card. ;)
ABC - "L" is for...Layering
Got Layers!
Paper Play - Precious Metals
I used the metallic embossing powders

Cute Card Thursday - All New (use something new)

I used new TPT papers and the heart button is new from my shopping spree.

SCS Ways to Use It - In With The New ( use something new)

I used new papers and a new button.

Embellish Magazine - Embellish Hearts Color Challenge

Used hearts! and colors ;)

If you have not already signed up for my latest BLOG CANDY....no better time than the present. ;)

Thanks again for dropping by!
Hugs,
True :D
