Good Morning!!! and thank you for joining in on the Fresh Brewed Designs Save The Hooters blog hop. I'm so honored to be part of this special event! (((hugs 4 Heather!))) If you are getting here from Sheryl's blog then you are right on track. If not, please start off at the beautiful and talented Linda's blog.
We are so happy that you are joining us today as we spread smiles, share beautiful projects and most of all raise awareness.
The word "Cancer" is one that makes us all cringe and sometimes turn away. That does not make it GO AWAY it just means we try to avoid talking about it and pretending it is not there.
It is there and it is a reality. I know most of us have had family or friends who have been diagnosed with a form of cancer or know someone who has died of cancer related causes.
One of those cancers is Breast Cancer. In the year 2011 in the United States alone approximately 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women have been reported, approximately 57,650 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be found (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer), and approximately 39,520 women will die from breast cancer.
Fresh Brewed Designs has created a brand new rubber stamp set as well as several digital stamps. When you purchase these designated products, a partion of your purchase will be donated to Chemo Angels.
If you have not heard about Chemo Angels we suggest you look them up. They are a wonderful organization. They support all forms of cancer as well as have ways to donate in the form of time, cards, as well as monetary donations. To find out more about how Fresh Brewed Designs will be taking part, read here.
For this hop I chose to use stamps from the "Save the Hooters" rubber set. I combined it with my go-to pink collection - Echo Park's Be Mine 12x12.
Fresh Brewed Designs is also sponsoring the Link Up For Pink.
This linking party will be held from October 1 - 14. Every project linked will be pink themed and there will be lots of opportunities for prizes. Grab the badge and be sure to save the date!
If you purchase the featured BCA stamp set or any of the BCA digital stamps, be sure to be watching for a special link in the tabs under the blog header at Freshly Brewed Challenges. There will be a special link up challenge just for you starting October 1st. We will allow back linking as long as you are using these images.Your next stop on the hop will be Heather's blog.
Thank you again for hopping with is and helping spread the word.
Have a very blessed and beautiful day.
