Happy Saturday everyone!! I hope you have had a magnificent week and are starting into an even more splendid weekend. I have had some sissy health issues but those went out the window with some very exciting and fun news I had later in the week which I will share with you REAL soon!! Let's all remember that this is now OCTOBER and be reminded that it's also Breast Cancer Awareness Month...you can bet that I will never forget that October is much more than Halloween and Columbus Day (in the US)!!! Those aggravating mammograms take but a few minutes but believe me, they can also mean the world to you and your loved ones!!!!
This week at Just Magnolia our challenge is 2 x 2. So we want to see things in pairs – 2 papers, 2 ribbons, 2 charms, 2 embellishments etc. You can combine our challenge with any other challenges of your choice and as long as the main image on your creation is a Magnolia stamp you will qualify to be in the draw for the fabulous prize. And remember NO back linking, new projects/cards only please. The challenge closes next Thursday 14th October. So I hope you will come over and join with us this week where the very nice prize is from The Cutting Cafe.
On my easel card I used 2 designer papers, 2 mats under everything, 2 stamped images, 2 types of ribbon, 2 charms, 2 gold sprays, 2 medium poinsettias, 2 small poinsettias, 2 red berries, 2 white glass snowballs, BUT...shhhhhhh...don't tell but I used 3 holly berries!!! hahahhaha So how about showing us at Just Magnolia what you can do in TWOs!!!!
For my card, I used Bazzill for the base, all double matting is PTI, and the DP is BG Jovial. All panels were machine stitched. I stamped the little darling Vintage Tilda or Tilda with Christmas Ornament on Cryogen White adding a touch of Stickles to her lace and Glossy Accents and Spica Gold to the ornament. She is from the New A Merry Little Christmas Collection 2010 at Magnolia-licious...isn't she the cutest little thing, just getting ready to decorate the tree?!?! She was cut out with Nesties leaving her little legs to dangle on the outside. For the horizontal I used 1.5" Sage Pleated Satin and Red Diamond Satin from the Really Reasonable Ribbon shop. I have a bell and a snowflake charm dangling from the Bow Easy red bow. In the upper left I used the end of a prima branch which has 2 tiny poinsettias. For the right bottom corner I used 2 medium Prima poinsettias which I outlines with Gold Stickles, then 2 gold Magnolia sprays which the lovely Tanja got for me at Stempel-Mekka 2010.....thanks so much, Sweetie!!...2 red berries, and 2 white glass snowballs. For the base I used the same 2 ribbons on the horizontal adding a second image, the Merry Christmas Post circle, adding Green Stickles and 3 (shhhhhhhhhhh) red rhinestone holly berries.
And now to help me celebrate the end of my PINK JOURNEY and to remind you of the importance of awareness, I would like to offer the first of my several PINK SWEET STUFFS this month. But first I need to ask you to do a BIG favor for me!! One of my past DT sisters from Belles 'n Whistles has just found out that she now has breast cancer...Elise Dinolfo, a lovely and vibrant 38 year old lady with a 4 year old little boy!! Please drop by her blog and leave a little bit of love along with alot of heap big hugs...I would love for you to let her know that I asked you to drop by!!!!! She will need all the love and support which each of you gave to me as I was going down that bumpy road!!!! Elise had not yet reached the magic age of 40 so had never had her first mammogram yet...she found those scary lumps herself. So ladies, do you now see why I am on the soapbox begging ALL of you to have the necessary testing and do those regular self-examinations...Breast Cancer does not show favorites at any age!!!!! Thank you sincerely!!!!
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS SWEET STUFF...AND I hope you like it!!! Please leave me a comment before Friday, October 15 and I would appreciate your placing this on your blog if you have one so that every one our blogging friends will be aware of my plea!!

Lovely card. And thanks for raising awareness of breast cancer. My mother was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 49 -- and next year will celebrate 15 years of being cancer-free!
I love your card. It is beautiful as always. I am so sorry for your DT friend and will be praying for her. I will also visit her blog and leave her some love. I don't know how to add this to my blog as I am new to blogging and computer illiterate. Thanks for the opportunity to win your sweet blog candy.
Such a wonderful card. But then again all your cards are wonderful. Such great inspiration for me.
As I was reading your post, I started to tear up. I lost my Mom to breast cancer 12 yrs ago. She died the day after I found out I was pregnant with my third child. It was very hard on me and it still is. I am soo glad that you have made it through this part of your journey and will keep you in my thoughts. I'll add your friend as well.
your card is fab and i love your pink stuff.
You've made again a beautiful card, and I hope youre DT friend is such as strong as you are!! Greetings and a happy weekend from Sonja.
Your card are so wonderful, i like her!
The pink stuff is super cool.
I go and link you on my blog!
hugs nicky
She's just gorgeous and you are amazing!!!!
Hello Jacque, I followed your invitation and left words with Elise. I had a thought for you all during this week, as I prepared a project for a DT duty on friendship which will be on my blog tomorrow.My intention was to underline the importance of friendship in one's life, especially when a terrible diagnosis occurs. Since October is dedicated to Cancer awareness I created a card, trying to make the color pink "speaks" about softness, tenderness, friendship. And extend to all my fellow visitors to take a moment, and dedicate it to all who undertake this journey. Your name is mentioned as an example of courage and I will add Elise on my post. As my sunny afternoon brings me so much joie de vivre, I close my eyes, and offer this moment of peace for everyone whoes life has been changed by such a journey.
Hugs, & love.
Danielle

Ardilla
Jacque, first of all, what a wonderful friend you are to help Elise receive all the hugs and prayers and thoughts she will need during this difficult time in her life. I did stop at her blog to tell her I know you will play an important role in her recovery! You are an inspiration to all who have come to know you!!!
Your card is absolutely gorgeous!! I can't wait for the holidays and this starts to put me in the mood! I love that little Tilda!!!
Hugs to you!! And I hope your "sissy" problem ((which makes me smile!) is all taken care of! Can't wait to hear your exciting news!!!
Hugs,
Teri
When I heard Elise's news, it was as heartbreaking and devastating as when I first heard your news. I know Elise will fight this just as hard as you did and I hope she can draw strength from you. You are both such high-spirited, loving women that I know nothing can keep you two down and Elise will beat this just as you did. Love the person that you are Jacque and I love your Tilda card, it is beautiful!
Your cards are beautiful!I link you on my profile http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1662932457
I'm Italian, sorry for my English!
Hi Jacque! I have read about your friend and I took an encouraging hug from a distance!
Thanks for helping to propagate the message of awareness about breast cancer! is true that given recent mammogram at age 40 does not allow the younger screening where there are also cases, but that self-inspection becomes more important.
And thanks again for your example and your generosity.
Your card is wonderful as always!
I get the link of this candy so important to my blog! I leave you a big hug!
This card is absolutely gorgeous! Like all the cards you have done! Lovely candy you are offering - pink is my favourite color! Thanks for telling us about Elise, I will pop over her blog!

Your card is gorgeous as always!
I went over and left Elise a few words of encouragement.
Congratulations on the end of your journey! Thanks for letting us take it with you.
Hi Jacque ~ When I began my crafting journey at the beginning of the year, I was drawn to your blog to find inspiration and designs to help me with my own novice creations. What I found, and what kept drawing me back on a weekly basis, was your story of courage, determination and sheer will to overcome and survive. I was moved to tears on many occasions and that distant northern rumble you may have heard from time-to-time was your cheering section up here in Canada who wanted you to 'feel the love' and hopefully draw comfort and strength from it. You are an amazing woman and it has been my great pleasure to follow you on your journey and stand by cheering as you crossed the finish line!! Well done Jacque!!
Hugs,
Deb T. xoxo
What a wonderful ending to such a horrible journey that so many have to endure. My prayers go out to the survivors, the fighters and the families of the ones that lost the fight. Great reminder for everyone to get checked.
smiles...Tammy
Hiya Jaques,I am Casper pleased to meet you!
You are a one of a group of very special ladies - I call us SURVIVORS.
If anyone doubts your comment about cancer knowing no age boundaries - Then believe me it does not discriminate with age - I was 34 !
This is a great time & a great blog Jaques to open people up to dangers of thinking there are too young.
Yes this is heavy stuff,blogs are for fun & hobbies.I am very new to blogging but I see it as a community of people in a support system.
I had 2 mastectomies one elective,complications,both ovaries removed.Miss the babies I could have had.
Sadness is a very big part of life.
But LIFE means survival.
Girls check & keep checking your lady bits,I was lucky I found my lump it was classed as a subtle tumour.Took my GP a while to understand but I got refered to the Hospital Breast Unit.
I will jump over to your friends blog Jaques.
Sending you congrats on your survival & wishing you strength,love & hugs.
I have a card that I have just designed "Marching for Survival"
"For you my Sisters"
When we all band together,
We march forward for our Sisters,
All women are our Sisters,
Sisters band together,Today
Sisters stand side by side in hope & strength.
Radiate your love & hope like Rainbows to colour our Sisters lives with light & hope.
Show & give strength in numbers.
Make a difference to a " Woman" make her smile through her hidden tears.
Offer a moment in time
One moment is all it takes to change a woman.
written by Casper McAulay 2010
I NEVER USUALLY WRITE POETRY ON THE SPOT BUT THE SUBJECT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART.
Is that Jaques going to throw me off her site for the length of this post!
Take care of each other,smile once a day it can make a difference to one person!
Take care of you,
Big Hugs

The Magnolia card was adorable! I just finsihed reading the poem and Casper's ramblings! I join her and you as being a Survivor! It has been 20 years for me and I found my own lump, so everyone needs to do those self exams. Also, mammograms are so important. Your blog is so wonderful Jacques, and I think you have the means to send this message to so many people. Keep up the good work! At present I am making cards to give to a friend whose mother just started chemo. I'm hoping the cards will cheer her up and tell her she is not alone in this fight! I also put some "pink ribbon" cards in our doctor's office for display and our doctor's bought all of the employees "pink ribbon" shirts to wear during October! Our doctors are podiatrists and also will sponsor some walks for breast cancer for us.
I admire your Strength and determination hun !Put you have travelled ,and you batteled and youve made soooo many people aware !Thankyou for that and thankyou for the lovely pink candy.Have made a card for breast Cancer Awareness i would dearly love you to pop by and let me know what you think .

So sorry to read of your friend's diagnosis. I will definitely be visiting her blog. You just keep up the good work, Jacque, and keep reminding us to be aware!!!!!Love you, Christina
You are such a sweet person!! I will definitely hop over to your friend's blog to wish her well! I had a scare myself after my very first mammogram at 40. It definitely made me think we have to test for this way before 40...despite what the insurance companies say!! Hugs to you for being so brave on your journey!!
My friend, Tink, was just diagnosed with breast cancer after discovering a lump through self examination. She had surgery on Friday and will start chemo and radiation treatments soon. I would love to win the prize for her and let her know that there are lots of people out there who are thinking about her and pulling for her in this fight.
Jacquie, you are an inspiration to all with your awesome talent and the courage you have shown in the fight against breast cancer.

This is a stunning Christmas card xx
Breast Cancer is so wicked. I know several ladies (family & friends) who have suffered or is suffering from breast cancer!
Screening should be made before you reach 40!!
BUT
it is curable if caught early enough.
You come across as a very high spirited women xx
Our Nursery school is raising funds for Breast Cancer Awareness by wearing anything PINK, this includes Early Years Practitioners & Children xx
Hi Jacque, Yes it is horrible that young women in their 20's and under forty can get breast Cancer, and why is it happening more frequently these days. Hope you are ok.

Hi Jacque!
Another well-made, sweet vard with stamp from magnolia - I can see you truly love creating with her! It's really "christmassy", the card you made, with many details in red and poinsettias and all - congratulations!
Charlotta (greets you all the way from Sweden)
and OH; by the way I have great news to tell you: I'm going to New York for a week this November and I hope to find some scrapbooking stores there!!
Lindo cartão. Precisamos lutar contra o cancer e conscientizar a todos sobre a importância do exame anual.
Jacque, you certainly are a great woman and wonderful friend. We know Elise will be in for the fight of her life, but she's very lucky to have a supporter friend like you. Thanks for sweet candy. Here in Brazil there is a popular prophet says that "kindness generates kindness, love, love produces even greater." Thank you for sharing this love example. Hugs and much love for you, Elise and family. Lena
Your card is beautiful. Thanks for sharing with a lucky someone the beautiful blog candy.
Jacque, you are a great inspiration for anyone that finds themselves in a similar situation.
You've created another fab card and your generousity is incredible- thank you.

Your card is gorgeous. I love the background paper. Off to visit with Elise. Thanks.
Thank you for what you are doing. For what you are giving away, but even more for standing up for such an important cause. Cancer is something that will effect every one of us sooner or later. Either a friend a relative or ourselves.
I will post your generous give-away on my blog.

stunning card and what a set of candy my absolute all time fav colour and for such a good cause thank you for the opportunity to be involved in your fantastic creativity xxxx judith smurthwaite xxx
Beautiful card as always!! And great candy! This is a wonderful cause, as I am a breast cancer survivor, and try to help this cause as much as I can.
My heart goes out to both of you. My very best friend found out she had Breast Cancer, stage 2 and for 3 months I held her hand and found out as much as I could (leaving out the bits I didn't think she needed to hear) Too much info can be a bad thing!!! Then came the day I found my lump!!! It couldn't be surely, I had the various tests and was finally told the lump was Benign (relief) however my consultant decided to remove the lump and two weeks later I was told I had stage 3 aggressive (the cancer was hiding behind the lump)I had to have another (bigger) operation but count myself lucky to have the original lump out. Two years later I have just recently had my last herceptin.
OMG this is the 1st time I've told this story. Sorry to go on... Sending much love to both of you, and please question ANY changes to your breasts. Ooo and tell your men, which is just as important. My husband survived aggressive Testicular cancer (which had spread) 15yrs ago now. I guess we're both lucky really.
Hugs Wendy x

Love blog candy. It was great meeting you at Sandy's last week. It was a wonderful class.
Dag Jacque,
Ik bewonderde je blog en zag allemaal kunstwerkjes, zo mooi zo geweldig...dat ik een klein berichtje in het Nederlands achter laat bij je. Helaas is mijn Engels niet okee sorry.
Ik heb dit week-end voor Pink Ribbon 51 euro opgehaald en met heel veel plezier de kaartjes verkocht. Ik vind het heel belangrijk.
Hoe toevallig dat ik nu bij je bent....heel veel succes en....geniet, doe ik ook!
Lieve warme groetjes,
Anita

Hi Jacque,
I just read the bad news for your friend Elise and it touches me more deeply that many women around me and my family were affected. I am wholeheartedly with you and with her in this event and especially good luck. Thank you for sharing these moments with us all as stressful because we are all concerned by the possibility of cancer. I often visit your blog but rarely leaves messages. Congratulations for your wonderful work and good luck for the future.
Wholeheartedly with you.
Big hug from Quebec

Thank you thank you thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart! Elise is one of my dearest and bestest blogging buddies! She means the world to me and then some. The news of her Breast Cancer brought me to my knees and left me aching with sadness. It really tore me up inside. I shed rivers of tears because the most loving, sweetest women I know would have to endure such a thing as fighting Breast Cancer. When I came to visit Maggies world and saw your post for Elise I felt so much happiness that she will have you as a true inspiration. We've been here for you for months while you baddled and beat Cancer. Cried for you, prayed for you and rooted for you all the way. You've been such an inspiration to us all. As a woman, a fighter, an artist and now a survivor!!!! Big hugs for you! Bonnie
Gorgeous card and what fun and timely candy. My MIL and my mom are both breast cancer survivors and they are the most courageous and beautiful women I know.
Congratulations on the end of your pink journey.
my MIL has breast cancer...everyday is a struggle...PINK is now our fav color! Keep up the fight! And of course love the card!
