Pretty in Pink

Pretty in Pink was one of my favourite films when I was younger - I loved all of the Brat Pack stuff.  Over at Cupcake this week we're celebrating the colour pink as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Some of you will know that my sister is currently fighting this horrible disease and not so long ago one of my best friends also had to go through  months of chemo and feeling pretty rotten.  Still, the good news is that my sister is now halfway through her chemo so we can start counting the weeks back to normality.  As for my lovely Marianne, she's now had her first haircut since her treatment finished and she's looking and feeling fabulous!

So, here's my first card as a Guest Cupcake for October:

I love this Saturated Canary image. She's a joy to colour, too.  I made another centre step card (still can't find the link to the tutorial, but I'll keep looking!). I used Prima 12 x 12" paper, which I prefer to their pads because they tend to be double sided and they are a similar weight to cardstock.  I cut a little heart Doohickey tag and used some Doodlebug rubons to write the sentiment.  Liquid pearls and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts are the only embellies so that the image can take centre-stage.

I do hope you'll play along with our Think Pink challege at Cupcake Craft Challenges this week.  The Cupcakes have made the most gorgeous designs to inspire you, so do go over and take a look.  There are prizes too!

Have a lovely week, everyone and remember to check those boobs!

Hugs,
