Passionately Pink for a Cure..

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and the Susan G. Komen's newest campaign, Passionately Pink for a Cure, I have put together this paper set where 100% of the profits will be donated to support the fight against breast cancer.

This is a cause that is very near and dear to my heart as my Grandmother lost her battle with breast cancer several years ago. And I have a few friends whom are survivors. I really hope that everyone will join us in raising funds for this wonderful cause.

If you would like to participate you can either purchase the paperset in the shoppe, or you can join our team directly by clicking here and just donating as little as $5 to help us reach our goal. My little contribution is looking very much alone on this page! Please help me get that number higher!!

It will be fun to track our efforts by viewing the team page and watching our contributions grow.

Then, to sweeten the deal!:) join us at ScrapArtist, Sunday, October 29th as we celebrate our day of pink! I will post more info about this a little later, but we are going to have some fun festivities, and I hope that you can all join us!
(more info to come!)

I've got to get off this computer for a bit; I've yet to pack for Vegas (still doing piles of laundry!) But I just wanted to officially announce the names of the apprentice round 2 finalists. (since our gallery and forums are still down!) I have be SOOO impressed with all the talent that has submitted entrees for our little challenge. And getting to this list of names has been AGONIZING!

**Now just a side note before I announce the names!**

I honestly don't want anyone to think that they were not good enough to make it onto the next round; Every entry was just wonderful, I know that we will be seeing MUCH MORE from them in the future!

Nancie and I have tried to keep this contest more of a learning experience for everyone involved, with one of our main goals being to instill confidence and empower designers to enrich their talents.. So that said :) Here are the names of those designers moving onto the 3rd round.
