Going Pink xx

Hello my lovelies

Sorry for lateness in my post, I thought I had it scheduled but woops, deleted it instead lol!

So its time for another Challenge at Dream Valley Challenges and this time we have a nice easy challenge for you all to get stuck right into!


GO PINK!
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS


Just an easy easy, make your creation PINK!! Thats all! 

As breast cancer is close to my heart and I know most women, I thought it was only right to highlight it! The latest statistics say 1 in 2000 women could develop by the time their 29 and 22 could get it by their 60s! And 55% of these women and men are too scared to get check out! It only takes 2 mins in the shower to check yourself and a 15 min visit to the doc! 

For more info check out Breast Cancer Care or Breakthrough

Enough of the heavy!
Now something PINK to get you inspired to craft!




I used one of my fav Crafts and Me digi's coloured with promarkers and some oldie First Edition papers then added some flowers, pearls, ribbon and lots of glitter!

I would like to enter the following Challenges
Crafting for all Seasons - Things With Wings
Digital Tuesday - Say it wit Flowers
