October BCA Blog Hop

Welcome to October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Today's hop is dedicated to those who are breast cancer survivors, mother, sister, aunt, or neighbor who have breast cancer and to those who lost the battle.

I know this one is purple but the cross for the prize is pink with a breast cancer awareness ribbon in the center.      We have a beautiful group of ladies who will show-case a special project to a personal crusade for Lynne, who is a survivor!    Here is my card using Fresh Brewed Designs, Save The Hooters rubber stamp set:
