OUR CHARITY:

Reading is Fundamental is the charity I have chosen to sponsor this season.  As you all know I am an avid reader and it amongst my very favorite things to do in my spare time.  I truly believe that literacy and reading opens up many doors in life for everyone.  Not only can you find joy in books but it opens your eyes to other cultures, places and people that is so worthwhile.  And just the fact that a huge part of life involves being able to read--to get through school, get a great job and navigate through life.  For me teaching children to read early on in life is a MUST yet so many children are not provided with the basic materials to learn to read.  So this charity is a non-profit that provides books to children and opportunities to bring literacy into areas that need it!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the lovely DT gals from Through the Craftroom Door has some very lovely inspiration cards for the new challenge. Stop by and check out what they have created and join in on the challenge. Challenge #11 is a Color Challenge, Pink and White, NO SQUARE AND OR RECTANGLE CARDS and must use lots of bling and or pearls.

 

Our lovely sponsor for this challenge is Pizzazz Aplenty and I used Pink Gems and White Pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty.

Pizzazz Aplenty began with only a bit of bling and some ribbon, but in the last few months, we've added so much more... from cardstock to cello bags, as well as charms, stick pins, brads, buttons, cords, twines, laces, and over 20 colors in flatback pearls and rhinestones.  The newest additions are teardrop pearls, button stick pins, leaf pins, and heart pins, resin cameos, flowers and butterflies.  Please stop by for a look at our store: Pizzazz Aplenty
Remember, there's no such thing as too much bling!
