Thank Pink Blog Crop - If It's Groovy

Here's a quick LO that I created.  I'll explain the details laer.  I'm trying to submit it quickly.  I couldn't figure out how to do it on her blog.  It's a pretty neat challenge and with a very inspirational sketch to boot.

Think Pink Blog Hop - FINAL DAY & My 35th Birthday

THINK PINK BLOG HOP

&

MY 35th BIRTHDAY

If you have been with us all weekend, it's been a blast. I have new friends and I challenged myself to participate in my first blog hop. Whew. Now that we are drawing to a close, it's bittersweet. I've met some amazing women and made some new friends. I don't want it to end. I also am celebrating my 35th birthday today. As I said on my FB page, birthdays are sometimes tough for me. I lost my father to complications with surgery related to prostate cancer this month in 1996. Knowing that God is in control has helped me through all of the rough times and I know in the end, I win. This year is another tough year as we just got word that my husband's only uncle on his mother's side died on Saturday. In my DH's words, we are 5 for 5. Five close family deaths in the last five years. So you see, birthdays don't always hold the fondest memories for me. I am determined to make this one a good one though.

Now...on to my projects for today. By today, you have the hang of how this are going so I will not bore you with details. If you want info on how the projects were created, send me at message at christel (at) majesticdedsigns (dot) net and I will hopeful be able to tell you in a clear manner how it all came together.

My first project is a magnet. This is a scraplift from one of the sisters on Scraps of Color. Hopefully it will remind someone to get their mamos and do monthly checks. I used the Forever Young cartridge to create it.

The second and final, yet I feel most important item is a prayer journal. I wanted to make it more elaborate but neither time nor resources permitted me to do so. I have included scriptures that talk about hope as well as space to journal blessings. I want to encourage my friends who are battling any type of disease to count your blessings. It definitely makes things a little easier each day!

Well, that's all folks. Thank you for stopping by and sharing so much love this weekend. I've read all the comments and will post a winner tomorrow. Make sure to come back and see if it was you!

Happy Scrappin'!

Think Pink Blog Hop Day #2

THINK PINK BLOG HOP

Day 2

**Pictures are up.  Sorry for the delay.**

Hey! I'm so glad you could stop by to visit our 1st Think Pink Blog Hop organized by Karel of One by One the Flamingos are Stealing My Sanity. This is my first time and I'm having a blast.  This day two for me and I have a special box to share with you.

If you've stumbled upon my blog and missed yesterday's action, hop over to Karel to get on the right track. After checking out my project, you'll hop right on over to at If It's Groovy and check out her Pink Project. I'm sure she has something special in store for us.

***SPECIAL GIVEAWAY INSTRUCTIONS -- To win the $25 gift certificate from Sarah, all you have to do is complete the hop and leave a comment on every blog. This is a change. Please be sure to leave a comment on every blog! On Tuesday, utilizing random.org, a blog number, and then a comment number for that blog will be chosen. The winner will be notified by a posting on One By One The Flamingos Are Stealing My Sanity, by a posting on Karel's Facebook and Twitter Accounts, and every effort will be made to personally contact the winner.***

Today's project is a twist on a Hope chest. I really wanted a treasure chest but had to settle for a box that I altered.  This box is created with the idea that personal notes, words of encouragement, and scriptures would be placed in the box for anywho who is battling cancer and needs a little pick me up.  I kept with the pink zebra theme.  There are two special things that I'd like to share about the making of this box.  First, the hand-made flower on top is super easy.  It's created with hand-stamped paper, brads, rubber bands, and white cardstock.  If you would like the directions, I will have to look them up, but I will post them for you later.  The second special thing is that my oldest daughter helped me finish this box.  When we finished it, she said she would like it for a jewelry box.  I think she may get her wish.  She has so personal health issues so I think the words on the box still fit her situation. I hope you enjoy my altered project and will come back tomorrow.

Happy Scrappin'!

It's almost time.  The Think Pink Blog starts at midnight tonight.  Great projects, projects, and purpose.  One of my concerns and reasons why I participated is that, I want to encourage all to take care of their TOTAL health.  Men as well as women get breast cancer.  Know you body and you'll know when something is wrong.  Hopefully you'll enjoy what I've created and join us all three days. 

Remember, Sarah at Pink Cricut has donated a $25 gift certificate to one hopper.  Will it be you?  Make sure to leave a comment on every blog to enter.  Happy Scrappin'!
