I was delighted to make this card as this is something very close to my heart as 20 years ago this month I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer it was a horrible time however I came through it with the great support from a Brilliant Consultant , My family, Wonderful Friends and Work Colleagues who were all amazing. It gave me a very different outlook on life and I now try to live life to the full and concentrate on the things that mean the most to me. I'm thankful for every day.
For my Design Team card I used a Saturated Canary stamp called Boobie Love if I remember it was a freebie given by Saturated Canary several years ago to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness. I hope you like her.
I hope you can also enter our challenge this time and sorry my post is long but this is something I really care a lot about. Love and hugs Carole x

Wonderful card Carole. I had breast cancer in 2013, I'm all clear now but this cause is very close to my heart, I sell my cards to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care. I'm sure your card will be much appreciated by someone battling this terrible disease. Sorry I haven't been by recently a massive DT project and over a week with a sore throat & cough has seen me without much time or at my best. Creative Blessings Tracy x
