October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and CAS-ual Fridays is hosting their most recent challenge "For the Girls". I wanted to create something witty that would cheer up a friend or family member in need but I was drawn to putting a butterfly on my card. So I punched a butterfly out on baby pink vellum (I love the look of vellum butterflies) and I made a tiny breast cancer awareness ribbon to place on its body. I hope that I never need to use this card. As a young girl I lost my grandmother to cancer. She first had breast cancer, than bladder cancer and then finally bone cancer.
As uncomfortable as they are, remember your mammograms ladies!
