Stamp Out Breast Cancer!

 
Hey There!
It's been a very long time since I have posted, but I have something very important to share with you today.  We all know someone that has been affected by breast cancer... sister, mother, friend.  Each year, 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 40,000 will die. It’s the second most common cancer for women, and the second deadliest.
Obviously, no one wants to be diagnosed with breast cancer, but hearing the words “breast cancer” doesn’t always mean an end.  Now more than ever, breast cancer is treatable if caught early.

A Muse Studio wants to Stamp Out Breast Cancer. 

For the month of October, our goal is to give away 10,000 FREE Fight Like a Girl Stamps sets. Included with each stamp set is a brochure on breast health and the importance of early dection from the American Cancer Society. 
 
Use the pushpin stamp that is included in the Fight Like a Girl stamp set to stamp on your calendar to remind yourself about personal exams, mammograms, and doctor’s appointments.The Fight Like a Girl Stamp set has a retail value of $18, but you can get one for FREE* during the month of October**. Order it from me HERE!

* Please note there is a $3 fee that covers shipping and handling for this stamp set. Sales tax may also apply to the shipping. That's state dependent.

** Available while supplies last.    *** Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery

We are also celebrating Breast Cancer awareness with a free download for YOU.

Procrastinating!

Hi,
Well I have yet to get back to my scrapbooking, and I need to do that. I think I am procrastinating because I don't want to accept that my first born is graduating from HS this year. I am working on his toddler to teen album to display at the party, I only have a few years left to finish, but if I finish it then it will be true that he's off to college in the fall.. Silly I know, but that's how I roll.

So instead today I'll post this Thank You card that I made for those who attended my first amuse studio workshop. It was so simple, but I think it turned out quite nice.


Sorry for the poor color on the pics- I need to get better at that. Have to stop taking the pics with my phone.

Recipe: (a|s = amuse studio)

cardstock - a|s papaya
stamps/ink -flower: a|s marvelous marigolds/orange ink, background: a|s mesh background/papaya ink; sentiment: contemporary greetings/ocean ink.
ribbon: a|s orange
