Happily, joyfully, tearfully, touched to be part of this... I was invited by Stephanie Ackerman to join in creating a little something beautiful...filled with love...for an auction to benefit and support the fight against Breast Cancer. My heart is with all of you who have been touched in some way by this disease in any form. I'll be sure to keep you posted as this event progresses.
Before I go....foolin' around in some glitter and paint again. I created this using chipboard from Maya Road, Heart Prints and Fresh Alphabet stamp sets from Papertrey Ink, along with, Berry Sorbet cardstock, a Hibiscus Burst Vintage Button, Vintage Cream twill and ink, and a bit of Dark Chocolate ink as well. The velvet leaves and pretty, pretty journaling paper are from Prima, and the background paper and sweet pink polkas are from Melissa Frances.
Just a few more days until it's Summer Break....that means staying in jammies, lazy, warm, drippy, Popsicle days, and enjoying the last few months of my little one being 5....

Sounds like a wonderful cause....especially since I work for an Imaging Center where we do mammograms!! Were putting in a jewelry case at work and 4 of us who make jewelry ( Yes, I make jewelry too lol!! ) and were going to sell it at work and the proceeds will go to women who can't afford mammograms!
Beautiful card Melis!!!

Thank you and all the others for this great charity auction. I have had more than one family member affected by this disease and other cancers.
Great card. I love how you used the leaves to make it look like wings on the hearts (at least that is how I see it).
Have fun with the kiddo. My oldest will be starting kindergarten this fall. He too, will be 6 this year but has a late birthday. I am glad I got one more year with him.
You are just so sweet and I am glad I started following your blog. Thanks!!!

Oh Melissa.. thank you so much for doing this!!! It will be 5 years this June that I lost my precious momma to this disease and not a day goes by that i don't feel her presence in the studio as IM creating and crafting or playing with my own little kiddos...
It is such a cause near and dear to my heart and I cherish the fact that so much dedicated and talented women are doing this!!
Thank you and God bless!

How wonderful that you and the others are giving to this cause. The many people that are in some way affected by this disease are SO grateful!
I like you, can not wait for my little one to be out of school for the summer. We love the slower pace and the lazy, lazy days! ♥♥ Kay
