Pink Candy - 30,000 Hits! NOW CLOSED!

My counter has just hit 30,000 hits and I wanted to do something special to celebrate.

October is.. Breast Cancer Awareness month and I would like you to think pink! My Nan died of cancer two years ago and it is such a sad fact of life that this disease affects so many of us if not directly maybe the people around us who we love so very dearly. With the new release of the Pink Magnolia's I knew this would be just the perfect candy. For every Magnolia Pink stamp purchased approx. 41p will go directly to Breast Cancer Awareness (donated directly by Magnolia).
My Prize includes: Magnolia Pink Tilda Ice/Ballet Princess Stamp (as used on my card), Magnolia Pink "Faith, Hope, Love" Sentiment (see above), 2 Sheets of Basic Grey Sophie - Sachet Pink, Pink tickets and some girlie charms.
What do you need to do to enter my candy? Quite simply leave a comment on this post and take the cute little penguin icon and post it on your blog to help raise awareness. You could also add a link to your penguin so it takes your visitors directly to the Breast Cancer Awareness website. If you could help me spread the word about my candy that would be great also!

Most importantly.. take a few minutes to just think... smile at the next person you see, tell someone you love them, give your kids a huge hug, send a distant friend an e-card to let them know you care, send a friend an unexpected RAK or maybe you would like to make a pink card too to send to someone special to put a smile on their face! If you do make a pink card please come back and leave a link on this post as I'd love to see it and you will also get an extra entry for your kindness! I would also love to post your pink cards on a slide show for everyone to admire.

You have until Friday 31st 6pm GMT to enter when my girls will pick a name out of the hat. As always I ship my candy internationally and my visitors who don't have blogs please email me your entry so we can include you. nichola.fairbairn@googlemail.com

My card has been made following the sketch created by my dear friend Heidi for this weeks Friday Sketchers challenge.

Love and Hugs,



Card details:
Stamp: Magnolia Pink Tilda Ice/Ballet Princess Stamp
Ink: Memories
Papers: Pink handmade paper, Basic Grey Sugared, various SU Cardstock
Technique: Prismacolor Premier Pencils with Sansodor and Paper Stumps for blending.
Embellishments: little pearls from Heidi, Flowers from Camilla, Handmade heart from Stephanie - Thank you to my dear friends! spacer beads, lace, ribbon, Wire "Girl" word.
Equipment: Wizard and Nestabilities

NOW CLOSED!

Nikki this is such a wonderful idea for a great cause. My grandma also died a couple of years ago to ovarian cancer and then my dad had prostrate got cleared then it came back with a vengance in his stomach! Although he was really ill and very near death he pulled through thankfully. Cancer affects so many of us so it is very important to keep everyone aware and never take anything for granted especially our lifes!

Hi Nikki, still haven't used my dragon stamps yet but haven't forgotten them. They're great thanks. I will post on my blog your candy and the reasons behind it. I've already put the penguin on. I'm sorry to hear about your nan. Cancer is something that can affect anyone, at any age. I know firsthand, my son Tim had a blood cancer of the jaw in 2002. He's fine now, thanks to a brilliant dentist, a fab orthodontic specialist, an on the ball consultant and a fab hospital THE ROYAL MARSDEN. See my posts re their campaign for children and teenagers. Good luck with another 30,000 hits I hope. Keep up the good work. Spread the word. Hugs Clare xx

We all have to fight for stopping this ilnes. My freind is unfortunatly hit by Breastcancer, and can not be cured! :-) I have put a link to you on my danish blog!
Congrats for all the visitors on your blog!

My mom died of cancer and my neice has leukaemia so it's all close to my heart. However a friend who went to the Doctor as soon as she felt a lump is now a 3 year survivor so boob-squishing is highly recommended!
I've left a link to this post and a penguin on the right of my blog

Hi Nikki,

I love that card. I am a Breast Cancer survivor (1 year and counting). My mother died of Breast Cancer too so awareness is very important to me. Congratulations on the 30,000 hits and I would love to try and win your blog candy.

Beautiful work,

Carmen

Congratulations on your blog success! Your card is adorable! I have a step-daughter who will not survive breast cancer. This is a cause close to my heart. Thanks for keeping "the pink" in the spotlight.

What a lovely idea and what a lovely blog, I will be happy to link the little penguin. My S-I-L has recovered from stage one breast cancer earlier this year she was just 31 when diagnosed.
Good luck with it all I will pass it on.

Love your blog and what you are doing for breast cancer awareness! Super great blog candy! I have the penguin. Thanks for your inspiration!!!

Karen Brooks said...

What a gorgeous card!!! I love the image and how you colored it in - so pretty!!!

I'm sorry to hear about you losing your Nan 2 years ago. I have been very fortunate to not encounter breast cancer in our family but it is always on my mind. I always tell my daughter to make sure no matter what to check herself and if anything feels out of place to please tell me so we can get it checked.

I am adding the penguin to my blog today and appreciate the opportunity for the prize package!!!

I have to say that I just completely love your site. And even though I found you because of your blog candy, I will continue to come back because of your warmth and your incredible creativity. I too have a son that had cancer, he went into remission but lost his battle anyhow due to kidney failure. I will add your site and your penguin to my site. I am sorry about your Nan and am happy to pick up the banner for the cause!

Hi, I have made a post in my blog about your candy, and posted the penguin...

This is really a great way to do a candy. I am sure we all know someone who battles cancer or have passed away, so it is good to bring attention to it. Let's hope and pray a cure will be found for all cancer in the future!

My post about your candy is here.

Congratulations with 30.000 hits! :)
I think it is a good thing you are doing - using your 'achievment' to kind of front the breast cancer awarness month.. My father was operated to days ago for cancer (of course not breast cancer...! ;-)) - he is still at the hospital - and I hope he'll soon recover!

I will also follow your solicitation to smile to people, and I'll start to send a big smile to YOU! :)
Have a beautiful Thursday!
