First Annual Link Up for Pink!

**This post will remain on top October 1st through 14th. For daily LUFP posts, please scroll down.**

Welcome to the First Annual LINK UP FOR PINK linking party!!

I'm super excited the day is finally here! 
We have over $3,000 worth of giveaways from 84 generous sponsors, that makes 153 prizes to give away!!!  Complete list here.
As we all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but it should not start or end in October, we should always be aware. Remember to do your self-breast exams, send reminder cards to your friends to get their mammos, and accompany a friend to their appointment.   We also like to announce Link Up for Pink now has a Relay for Life page.

RULES:  Please follow them we don't want to remove any links.

1. Your project must have pink as the main color.  All crafts are welcomed.
2. Please no backlinks.  Your Pink project must be new, created for LUFP.  You may however, enter other challenges.
3. Link up as many projects as you wish.  Please enter only one project on one post.  If you are making a set of identical cards, that will count as one entry.  If you are making different projects, enter them on different posts and link them up separately. 
4. Link directly to your post, not your blog.  Please include our LUFP badge or link back to any of our blogs, that way others can join the party.
5. Since this is a Linking Party, please visit and leave comments on at least 5 blogs of your choice.
6. If you are making cards to donate to PA Breast Cancer Coalition, please write a little note of encouragement or sentiment on the inside of your card.  The cards will be given to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in their Friends Like Me™ carepackages.   Write “Link Up for Pink” below your address and mail your cards directly to:
   
   PA Breast Cancer Coalition
   344 North Reading Road
   Ephrata, PA 17522
7. Have fun!

We are sharing the same linking widget.  You can link up at either one of our blogs.

LUFP: Celebrate Courage!

I can't believe these past two weeks just flew by!  You have today and tomorrow to link up your PINK creations!  We have enjoyed seeing your projects and have been inspired by the stories of courage and perseverance. Here's the card I'm sharing today.

The paper is Recollections and the title is from the Pink Journey cartridge.  The swirly mat is from Penny Duncan, a LUFP sponsor.

LUFP: Scrapbook layout

Hi, this is Gaby from www.gabycreates.com

I am still super excited to see all that pink everyday I open my blog!!  Gorgeous creations everybody is linking!!  There's still time!  Hope you can link up your pink project with us!!

Today I have a layout with a pocket to hold the number and pamphlets from the Susan G Komen 5K that my sister and I participate on.  And of course a picture or a strip of pictures in the pocket.

My niece lost the camera from last year, so this year we will make sure she does not hold the camera.

The picture you see I "borrowed" from the Susan G. Komen site. I adhered it with removable tape to be able to replace it after the run/walk on Oct 16th.

I used my SilhouetteSD for the title; Fiskars punches Large and XLarge for the clouds; MS heart edge punch; Hero Arts kids at play stamp; Hero Arts and Studio Calico for the cloud background stamps and MyCreativeTime's stamp set for the sentiments (One of our LUFP sponsors!)

LUFP: You are Loved

I'm so lovin' all the wonderful creations linked so far!  Wow!! We have over 300+ link ups!! That's so wonderful!! :)  Remember you have until Friday, so there's plenty of time to make a card or two and link them up! :)

Here' my project, a candle wreath. Aren't those roses gorgeous!? I used a 4" foam ring, covered it with pink organza.  I used a ruffled edge ribbon to cover the side and added large rhinestones to fill up some of the spaces.   I cut 2 scallops; one pink polka dot paper; another out of a cereal box and glued them together.   Lastly, I added the pink butterfly I purchased at Dollar Tree. :)
