Power of Pink Day 3

Today we are so honored to share this mini album titled "My Pink Journey" with you.

Our very own Mireille Divjak from The Netherlands has courageously and humbly

shared her very personal journey with us through scrapbooking a mini album with

the beginning of her story. Our thoughts and prayers remain with her as she continues

and completes this journey.

Mireille, Thank you for sharing your pink journey of hope with us all!   

"My Pink Journey"

Designed by: Mireille Divjak

"title" says : Complete removal of a malign tumor class 3 - April 28 2010

Journaling block says: I would have never thought that at the age of 38 I would get breast cancer. My journey started in April, my pink journey. I couldn't have traveled without the help of my friends and family

"title" says "Pirate Princess" - June 2010

Journaling block says : When my lines for radiation therapy were drawn Noah called out "WOW!!! How COOL!! You have a sword in your throat mom! You are a real pirate princess!! - The stones are my lucky stones from my kids that I carried with me every day in the pocket of my jeans.

 Title - Radio Robbie and Chemo Casper - June, July, August 2010

Journaling block: The hardest part was trying to explain to the kids what was going on with mommy. Thank goodness for great kid-books like Radio Robbie and Chemo Casper

(sidenote: books the hospital gives to people to help explain this to children. It's about the "superheroes " Radio Robbie and Chemo Casper that help destroy the mean cancer cells)

Title - Wig and hats

Journaling Block: And then I lost my hair, a process Amber followed day by day, gently pulling 

my hair every night to check if it was already "happening" .

Title: The doctors assistants - September 2010

Journaling Block: I have the best doctors assistants in the whole wide world. 

Noah holds the tray at the lab and Amber helps with the drip and the bandaid.

Title: Photoshoot in the backyard with Eva - October 2010

Journaling Block: Never thought that this day I would have enough self confidence to pose like this, 

without my wig, with and without my hat. 

 Thank you for  taking the time to read Mireielle's

story and please join with us in hoping and 

praying for a cure for this horrible disease that 

continues to attack those people we love.

Power of Pink Day 2

Throughout the month of October, we will all hear and read stories of victory,

and a few stories of defeat and sorrow...

But most of all, we will read stories of courageous women everywhere

who are full of faith, courage and STRENGTH!

Today, we are so honored to share the stories of the friends and families of our Design Team!

"Remember"

Designer: Debbie Sherman

 

"Cherish till the end of TIME"

Designer: Francis Sylvia

"Hope... Keep the Faith"

Designer: Irene Tan

"Mother, Sister, Aunt, Friend"

Designer: Juliana Michaels

It is a little difficult to read, but I layered the words mother, grandma, sister, daughter, aunt,

cousin and friend alternating the chipboard and acrylic alphas.
Designer Tip: Add alcohol ink to you acrylic letters to give them a bit of color and to help them stand out more. 

Emboss your chipboard letters to give them more dimension and a fun bit of texture. 

Use a paper piercing tool to the edge of your paper to give it a texture border.

"Live, Laugh, Love"
Designer: Janis Medina

Design Notes: This layout reminds me that I should love myself. Since I know that cancer runs in my family, 

I take it upon myself to make sure that I am vaccinated and I live a healthy lifestyle.

"Love is all you Need"

Designer: Luzma Bruna

"Love is all you Need"

Designer: Carole Jansen

"In Remembrance"

Designer: Jolanda Meurs

"Searching for a Cure"

Designer: Tara Orr

 "Faith"

Designer: Tomoko Takahashi

 "Find Strength"

Designer: Tara Orr

TIP: I wanted to keep a very soft tone for this layout and the pinks were a little too punchy. 

I simply painted the chipboard swirls as well as my handmade roses and finished with distress stickles.

"Together Forever"

Designer: Janis Medina

Design Notes: While the title of the layout is "Together Forever", it has a double meaning to it. 

Inside the envelope is a letter to my Ma who died of cancer.

Journaling: Dear Ma, I'm sorry it took so long for me to accept your death. It's just that somehow 

I felt that when your cancer struck, you just gave up, eventhough I'd asked you to fight back for us your kids.
 

Now that I'm already a wife and a mother, never a day passes without me wishing that you're here to see my family. 

They give me so much joy, Ma. How I wish you're here with us to share our happiness.

Do pray for me Ma, that I be the best wife to JE and the best mother to Nat and Phil, 

as you were the best for me. Do pray that I be invincible so I can always be with them.

I miss you, Ma.

Design Tips: I used my Tombow Soda Shop Dual Brush Pens in making my own striped patterned paper. 

I also used a brush pen to highlight the word "Together" in my Persuasion My Sweet Patterned paper

 "Awareness"

Designer: Patti Milazzo

Tip: To create the peace sign, I punch out a 1 ½” circle, drew the lines on the back 

and used Bo Bunny’s Necessities Craft Knife to cut out the wedges inside.

 "Hope"

Designer: Patti Milazzo  

 "Peace, Love, Hope"

Designer: Patti Milazzo 

Note: My card was inspired by the statistics about Breast Cancer. “About 1 in 8 women in the 

United States (between 12 and 13%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.”
Source: http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/under.../statistics.jsp 

"Living my happily ever after"

Designer: Janis Medina

Design Notes: I used my Tombow Soda Shop Dual Brush Pen in outlining my pearls for an added blot of color.

Power Of Pink - Week

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and the many women
