Calling All Sistahs!
1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime.
Calling All Sistahs was started by Michele Gross, owner of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, shortly after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It is her hope to create awareness for breast cancer beyond just the month of October by reminding you to do your self breast exams
on the 17th of each month, and encouraging us all to remind all the
great women in our lives to do the same. You can read more about her
story HERE.
The Calling All Sistahs Collection was created by Michele with the specific intent of donating 50% of her profits from this collection to Breast Cancer Research and Awareness programs in honor of all who have been affected by breast cancer.
Laura’s Loft is thrilled to be one of the first stores in the
country to offer this special collection of stamps and dies. It’s
important to us to be able to remind all of our sistahs to check
yourself and we are proud to continue Michele’s effort by donating 50%
of our own profits from this collection to breast cancer research in VA.

Pink is my favorite color. With that I had to use pink on my card. I stamped the Hope Ribbon with pink ink and then used a brighter shade of pink to highlight some of the hearts on the ribbon. I then cut out the stamped image using the matching Ruffled Ribbon Fri-die. I mounted the ribbon on a piece of pink card stock that I had punched the upper edge with hearts and added some heart washi tape at the bottom. I chose a sentiment from the set and stamped it in the same ink I used to highlight the hearts on the ribbon. I flagged the ends and popped the sentiment up on dimensionals. Here is my card for the hop.

Thanks for all you do! Great idea! My sister was diagnosed last May with Stage 2 Breast cancer, had 12 rounds of chemo, a lumpectomy, and radiation. Today, she is a survivor and is cancer free. Sharing your link with all my "sistahs" too.
