At the Altered Book Lover we take a second look at one of our old blog posts. Here is a second look at a post from July 2, 2015:
first I found CRAFT Challenge # 318 “embossing” then I found Crafty Ribbons #122 “anything goes… with a ribbon” so I searched for one more inspirational element and found In the Pink #72 “vintage shabby pink” whenever I hear pink and ribbon my first thought is breast cancer awareness. I had a biopsy awhile back and it came back benign, Others however aren’t always as fortunate and the need for encouragement is eminent. I found the word “courage” and “hope” comforting along with the word”Prayer”. The bow is a discarded child’s hair bow that I took the back off of and attached a safety pin with beads and a charm. I used a vintage doily and stamped “You’re in my prayers”. I added a pink heart confetti piece for added love.

What a gorgeous card, so elegant and feminine with the lace and bow. Pink was the ONLY colour my daughter would wear when she was small, so she would have loved a card like this. Have a good week, stay safe, hugs, Valerie

A constant fear we sadly have to live with.
One friend survived breast cancer. I lost both parents to cancer… “We” attempt to fly to Mars but cancer we have no control of.
Very nice card, too, full of hope.

Beautiful card! I really love it
Let us know how you liked the recipe-these gluten free cake mixes are perfect for upside down cake too-with blackberries really good. I have changed my baking quite allot this year-using more keto friendly recipes. I have celiac but the gluten free flour blends are soooo full of carbs I just never had any idea of that before-part of the reason I think I couldn’t keep the weight off as I have gotten older.
Happy second on the 2nd Hugs Kathy

Oh how I love this card. I had a friend die four years ago of breast cancer. She was the mother of the children who normally visit me every summer. I have another friend who has breast cancer and has gone through chemo twice. Now she has swelling on the brain and I think the cancer has migrated, but I don’t say anything. This card holds a special meaning to me, dear Karen. Thanks for making it your second look on the 2nd, even though it’s a first look for me.
