October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! So in honor of this event--I, along with some talented crafters, have teamed up to honor and celebrate the men and women in our lives that inspire us with their strength in the battle against Breast Cancer, through creativity. Of course, a blog hop isn't complete without blog candy! There will be giveaways on various blogs throughout the hop! Plus, there will be an SOC Blog Hop gift awaiting one visitor given by the Blog Hostess, Cheryl!! To be eligible for that prize, you must comment on all the blogs by Monday, Oct. 10 at 11:00pm EST. From all who are eligible, one lucky reader will be randomly drawn. The winner will be posted on all the participating blogs Friday, Oct 14.
For this hop, I created a fabulous sketch and a layout!! Let this sketch inspire you next layout.
This layout features me and some of my scrapping buddies at our bi-annual Sistah Retreat. During each retreat, there is a project and conversation about health and healing. At this particular retreat the theme was "Forever Linked." We are forever linked and we each created a link to a chain and then we connected the links. There was a conversation about how we have touched each others lives and how it is important to care for ourselves and one another, do self exams and get mammorgrams. We plan to retreat together for years to come!
Now that I've sparked your creativity, how about a little something to spark a bit of desire! How would you like to own this fabulous "Fight Like a Girl" Kit from Glimpses. It includes fabulous double-sided patterned papers, cool coordinating stickers and plenty of matching embellies! One lucky someone will win! All you need to do is leave a comment here on this post and you are entered. Want an additional entry then just leave a comment on the other posts of this blog. The more comments you leave the more entries you receive!!! So sit back and stay awhile. Winner will be announced on or before Friday, October 14 and will be chosen in a random drawing.
And when you are ready for some more scrappy inspiration and chances to win just follow the next link in the blog hop below!
