October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I wanted to create a couple of projects that reflected a spirit of hope.

The first project is a simple card designed with two versatile TAC stamp sets. I stamped the “Hope” image from the Blessed WIth stamp set in Pink Petunia VersaMagic chalk ink. I then overstamped the words from the With Sympathy stamp set in Burnt Umber Palette ink. I used Premium White, Brown, and Pink Bazzill cardstock for the card.

I have to admit I was inspired by the pink M & Ms made especially for Breast Cancer Awareness for my second project. It is a simple treat bag using the “Hope” sentiment on the header. I thought this was a great way to remind others of Breast Cancer Awareness, and to share a little sweetness. The patterned paper is from the Catelynne Fly With It collection.

Okay, so I finally got the second baby mini album uploaded. This one is also for a baby girl, but I decided to use a pink & brown theme this time. All the stamps are from The Angel Company, although some are retired. The paper is Pink Bazzill, Brown cardstock, and Catelynne Fly With It collection. The embellishments include the Audrey Embellishment Jar and Cupcake Buttons.

I used 4″ square chipboard coasters, White O wires, and my Bind-It-All to make the book.

I covered the pages with the cardstocks, embellishments, and stamps.

I tried to make the pages fun and leave lots of room for photos & journaling.

The stamps are from the retired “Style Baby” stamp set. I used Burnt Umber Palette ink for all the stamping.

A little paper piecing and one of the tags from the Catelynne collection.

Some ribbon and a Tropical pink spiral clip just for fun.

Here’s a close-up of the back cover. I used Burnt Umber Palette ink to sponge the edges of all the pages.

This last photo shows both covers. I’m really happy with the way this turned out, and the momma likes it a lot too.
