It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, that's what! Time to get our check-ups if we haven't had one recently, be aware of signs, symptoms and what to do! To help raise awareness, I made this little reminder with Stampin' Up!'s wildly popular Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit Die! (that's quite a title, isn't it!) I used a Heart Framelit to cut out the Melon Mambo DSP, then cut the thin straps with my paper trimmer and adhered all with Mono Multi Liquid Glue (the tape adhesive doesn't hold it well because of the curvy shape of the box). I found this sentiment in the Something to Say set and love it for this theme! The little flower in the front is from the same set. The butterfly is encrusted with Dazzling Diamonds; this combined with the Pearls and flower makes for quite the feminine look! I didn't take a picture of the box back but I made a remembrance "ribbon" out of Melon Mambo cardstock to emphasize the Breast Cancer Awareness theme of the box. Stamps: Something to Say, Papillon Potpourri Inks: Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Pink Pirouette Paper: Melon Mambo print from Brights DSP Stack; Pink Pirouette, Whisper White cardstocks Accessories: Designer Label Punch, flower punch from Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Strawberry Slush Baker's Twine, Heart Framelits, Big Shot, Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Stampin' Sponge. Lynn Starzyl made a box for breast cancer awarenes which inspired me to come up with one of my own. Thanks, Lynn. Remember the special annual October Breast Cancer Project at Splitcoast Stampers of making cards for breast cancer patients at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
