Calling All Sistah's - February Blog Hop

Hi there and welcome to the February Calling All Sistah's - February Blog Hop!!

 

This blog hop was organised to remind us all each month to do our self breast exams. Many of us forget about it, don't have the time or don't think its necessary. However, early detection can make a huge difference, so being able to give everyone a reminder each month to take a few minutes, could really change someone's life. I've included a link to a You Tube video here that shows how to do a self exam if you haven't done one before.

As this is a hop, you should have arrived here from Sandi's blog Life at the Beach - Slightly Off Center where I'm sure she dazzled you with her design. If you've lost your place on the hop, pop over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog for a full hop list!!  

Our theme for this month's hop is 'With Love from you Sistah' and luckily I had the design in mind straight away:

Firstly I stamped the Full on Floral stamp on to a piece of white CS. I cut it down so it was slightly smaller than my card front and die-cut the Ruffled Ribbon Fri-Die from the middle of it. I then used my mini-blending tool and Distress Ink 'Picked Raspberry' to colour the card front and put the floral panel over top with some foam tape.

For the sentiment I die-cut the Love Ya Fri-Die from a soft pink paint chip and also twice more from white CS. I glued them all together for a bit of height and then to the card front. And of course I had to add some of the Sistahood Sparkle - Limited Edition Sequins for some sparkle.

I have three challenges I would like to enter:

Simon Says Stamp - Monday Challenge  (use your favourite tool - mine is my We R Memory Keepers Cut n Score board.....its brilliant!!)

Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge (Fantastic Florals)

Uniko Challenge # 39

Take care
