OCTOBER 2025 - ANYTHING GOES W/ OPTIONAL TWIST THINK PINK

 

 Hello there, this is my card for the latest 613 Avenue Create Challenge. The optional twist is"Think Pink" This theme is very, very close to my heart, just a few inches away in actuality! A Mammogram has given me an extra 22 years of life. In that time I saw my girls grow up into fine, hard working women and mothers. I saw my 2 beloved grandchildren come into the world and make us all so happy.I have had 22 years more  with my darling Bry. All the treatment and surgery was worth it. I am blessed and lucky, not everyone is. So, take a little time out of your day, check them! Have the mammograms, it's all worth it!

I made this pink card for someone having a tough time.Simple pink die cut flowers, a pair of frame die cuts and a sentiment make this sweet card.
