Think Pink!

It's always an exciting moment to announce the total for our annual donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, so before we show some of our faves from Pink Christmas, let us proudly announce that we had 21 cards in total, and since our donation is $2 each for every card, we'll be sending $84 to BCRF this year! Many thanks to all who linked up and helped us reach this total!

Literally EVERY Pink Christmas card is a great one, so if you haven't yet taken time to scroll through all the entries, we highly recommend the trip. But meanwhile, here are three cards that especially caught our eye:

Lesley G of Lesley's Craft Room

...created a seemingly *simple* card; but every element is perfectly judged. From the embossed text in the background; to the perfect shades of pink for hat, mats and gems; and of course that sheer pink ribbon as a finishing touch. This card really has it all!

...made three gorgeous cards, but this one-- with the floral diagonal stripes, adorable skate (with dimensional furry topper!) and fancy diecut sentiment --is especially charming!

Suzanne H who posts on Flickr

...created this showstopper of a background by heat embossing the oversized stamp in white, then stenciling the colors on top; it's an incredible effect, therefore all she needed on top was that beautifully framed sentiment!

Shifting gears q little be before we go: what with all the fun of Pink Christmas AND our (Lauren and Stephanie's) NYC vacation, one of us (LAUREN!) totally forgot to award the prize from the last challenge, JB2620: The Stockings Were Hung, so let's do that right now:

The Random Number Generator has selected

Many thanks to all who played along, we loved seeing every card and we're grateful to you for helping us raise a little bit of cash for a worthy cause. We'll be back at Midnight with a brand new prompt that we hope won't leave you feeling sheepish... ;)
