Think Pink - Cricut Cardz Challenge #93

I created this card for a Cardz TV Challenge and to give to my husband's Aunt Sue. She was diagnosed ... luckily in the early stage about 10 years ago.

*** Cricut Cardz Challenge #93? This week we hope you'll join us for "Think Pink!". October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. To help promote this worthy cause, make a card for a friend or a loved one for Breast Cancer Awareness month. It can be a reminder card for self-exams and mammograms, a card congratulating a breast cancer survivor, or a card of encouragement for someone currently going through the trauma of breast cancer. Use any cartridges you'd like and use Pink as your primary color. Make sure you give your card to a friend or loved one! ***

These are free for the taking... just right click and "save picture as" These little cuties are original size and perfect for cards. They are jpg, jif, jpeg format. If you use them, I would love to see what you have created! :) Have fun!!

Candy Corn Mason Jar Candle Holder

Here's a cute inexpensive Fall/or Halloween decoration. Just fill a mason jar with candy corns, place a tea light candle holder (Walmart for 50 cents) in the top with a tea light candle and tie a Fall/or Halloween decoration to the front. My jar is orange, but it would work well with a clear jar as well. The same could be done with Christmas, Valentine's or Easter candy!! :)
