Welcome to our From the Heart Stamps blog hop. Our theme this month is “Think Pink” in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Our designers are showcasing lots of gorgeous pink projects.
I would imagine we all know someone who has had or has breast cancer. My mother in law is a breast cancer survivor. But a dear friend of mine Chelle lost her battle a few years back, so any pink cards I make are in her honor. She was sweet, funny, generous and spirited and fought a good battle.

Here is my project, using Birdbrain Balloon, isn't this image so funny? Love these little birds! I've kept this one very clean and simple. I've used the paper tole technique to layer the balloon and eyes. It really gives great dimension. It was one of the Hope You Can Cling to Challenges at SCS yesterday and a technique I had never really tried, I've paper pieced, but here you sort of round off the layers with an embossing tool. I really like how it made the eyes look.
For my layout I've used Freshly Made Sketches sketch #156. Love this sketch and I'm sure I'll use it again.
Now head over to the very talented Kelly's blog and see what they she has created.
Thanks for hopping with us today. The hop will end on Monday October 6th, EST. Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday October 8th.

Hey Kathy :)
I'm loving the 3D paper piecing on this bright and fun card. Love that layout too.

I love how you accentuated the eyes so they look just a little sadder. Perfect for this type of card that needs to be lending support. TFS.
The pink accents really pop against this crisp background and I love those eyes!
