October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

FACTS ABOUT BREAST CANCER IN THE UNITED STATES


  • One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. 
  • Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. 
  • Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women. 
  • Each year it is estimated that over 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die. 
  • Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,150 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 410 will die each year.

Keeping this in mind, I created a card to honor those women (and men) who have battled breast cancer.  Pink is such an awesome color to work with.  Hope.  Courage.  Love. Faith.
I hope you enjoyed my creation!  Feel free to leave a comment down below!

New Blog

As I become more and more involved in the craft world, I realized that I am probably the last person who does not have her own blog. It's about time I start one, so I can be more out there.
