Welcome to the "Inking Pink" Blog Hop! ~ I have candy! ;)

THIS CANDY IS NOW CLOSED.


Hello Friends! 

If you came here from Susan's awesome blog, you are in the right place!
If you just happened along here, you will want to go back to sweet Patricia's blog to start at the beginning.
There is just something about paper crafting that connects us all. I have become friends with so many wonderful women (and a guy or two) through crafting. I think because it is a way of giving of yourself to others that draws the best kind of people together.  ;) Our craft knows no color, religion, nationality, or orientations of any kind. Our friendships can span the globe.
Sadly, something else we all have in common is the possibility of developing breast cancer.
A staggering 1 in 8 of us will do just that.

Many of us have family or friends that have been affected by breast cancer and all of us want to encourage all of you to check yourself! I had a grandfather (yes males can get it too) die of metastatic breast cancer. I also have an aunt, a RRR design team sister (Jacque), and several friends that are breast cancer survivors because they found theirs early. I myself  have had a couple of scares and biopsies. So in honor of our friends and loved ones, we are "hopping" in hopes of helping to spread awareness throughout the world.

Here is the card that I created for the hop.
It was done with a digital image that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps called "Love Tweet Love". 



Here is a picture of the set.
It is available for instant download for just $3.00!


Here is the blog candy I am offering up for the hop.


Get a chance at winning my candy by posting a picture of my blog candy in your sidebar with a link back to my blog. You can earn a bonus entry by doing a quick post on your blog also.
Also...Please become a follower if you aren't already. ;)

Don't forget to come back here and post a comment that you have posted so I can throw your name in the hat! The winner will come from either this post or the one I did last week sneak peeking the candy. My candy will close at midnight October 31st and I will announce the winner sometime that week. ;)
I absolutely LOVE Martha Stewart glitters so I am giving away the 18 color set as well as a "ton" of other assorted goodies. 300 pieces in all!
I know...the glitters aren't all pink but I don't think anyone will turn down a $30.00 set of glitter because of that! LOL!   ;)

I won't list it all because you can click on the pictures to enlarge for a closer look.
Thanks for helping us spread the word!


Don't be afraid to talk to friends and family and remind them to check their tata's too!
Here are a couple of links that explain how it is done for those of you who are not quite sure.

Here is a list of the wonderful women who will be looking forward to your visits and comments during our event (just in case you get lost along the way): 
Many of them have blog candy offerings too so don't miss anyone! ;)
Trudy ~ That's me!  ;)
Kimm

Your next stop is Kimm's "BEARY" sweet  blog.
The hop will run through October 31 to give all of you enough time to "hop" around and visit each blog.

Please feel free to share the hop info on your blogs so we can get the word out. We really hope this will be a huge hop with a big turnout and hopefully just the first annual of many. 
Who knows..we just might save a life! :)

Hugs,
True :D

  52. Oh so tempting with that ADORABLE card you made, True!!! I'm gonna have to do the instant download lol!

    I'm so honored to be a part of the Hop with you! I know that you've had some recent health stuff which makes you more aware that things just get old and break down lol! I've pretty much gotten used to being 'breastless' due to cancer and also have had a complete hysterectomy last year due to uterine cancer. I find that sharing what I love with others like you is what brings SUNSHINE to my life ♥ We need to stick together on this journey... I know that I've grown in my love for each of the women participating in this Hop!!! You are a treasure : )
    Lots and lots of love ~ Lori

  107. Hi True. I just found out about the hop tonight and I'm sure I'm too late to enter. (when does the last entry ever win anyway) ha-ha. But I really have enjoyed the hop and I'm certain someones life will be saved because of this reminder. I've been looking at all your different creations and they are stunning. I'm now a new follower.
