Pink for the Cure!

Congratulations and thank you, Jingle Belles! You guys made sixty-two (62!) gorgeous PINK CHRISTMAS cards, and with a donation of $4 per card ($2 each from Stephanie and Lauren) that means we've raised $248 for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, WOOHOO! ♥♥♥ Not only was the quantity of cards outstanding (we SEE YOU, multiple-card-linkers and we're so grateful!) but so was the quality: each and every card was gorgeous and we could not be more impressed. Traditionally, though, we just choose three for the shout outs, and we're gonna do that now; but we highly recommend your taking time to scroll through the entire readers' gallery, we're sure you'll be as inspired as we are!

Trina of Phamtastic Design

...definitely understood the assignment and rocked every phase of this gorgeous card. From the inky ombre background to the sweet paper-piece snow-woman to the gorgeous musical staff and lyrics, we could not love this more!

Michele of I Card Everyone

...created the most adorable pink bird, in a pink scarf, landing on a pink snowbank, in a field of pink Christmas trees, topped with a pink sentiment tag, sporting a pink bow. Be still our pink-loving hearts!!!!!!

Marianne of Marianne's Cards 'n Stuff

...is a wonderful, long-time supporter of both Jingle Belles and Pink Christmas, whose work we always love seeing; this year she's made ELEVEN pink cards, including this one, plus three more with similar, gorgeously inky artful backgrounds... that were leftover from a previous Pink Christmas card-making extravaganza! (WOW!) 

♥♥♥

Once again, we thank everyone who participated with such enthusiasm; LOTS of you linked multiple cards and rest assured we have counted and appreciated every single one. The Pink Christmas festivities may be over for this year, but of course we'll be back at midnight with a brand new prompt we hopw will prove there's no business like SNOW business!!! ;)

PINK Christmas (Week 2)

It's the second week of Pink Christmas; the annual event where we ask YOU to make and link up as many predominantly PINK holiday cards as you possibly can, because WE (Stephanie and Lauren) are each going to donate $2 per card to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation! So how can you participate? Just make as many new cards as you'd like, each with a winter holiday theme, which feature PINK prominently. Then link them at the original Pink Christmas Post ... directly beneath this one. Easy peasy! 

Here's how we celebrated PINK Christmas this week:

Lauren's Other PINK Card

Lauren says, "This week I'm secretly a bit proud that I haven't actually used ANY official Christmas/holiday product! In fact, all of the papers (except the background) were from my scrap box. The adorable narwhal is an older Doodlebug 3D Doodle-pops Sticker and the little fishes plus the hearts were part of the set. I made the sentiment using some older Lawn Fawn alphabet dies and my trusty Dymo Labelmaker."

Stephanie's Other PINK Card

Stephanie says, "This week I started my Pink card with the On His Way Bella-Pop sticker of Santa in his fun little decked out Pink car and built my card around it.  used a Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders die cut for my snow and attached it to a piece of pink ombre cardstock from Scrapbook.com Ombre Patterned Paper.  I attached the car & the accompanying cloud stickers and finished with a sentiment from Kristina Werner Winter Greenery."

♥♥♥♥♥

We'd love for you to join us in celebrating PINK CHRISTMAS and of course it's for a very good cause, so start making and linking those PINK holiday cards today! JB2521: I'm Dreaming of a PINK Christmas runs until 6pm (Eastern) on Wednesday, October22nd.
