PINK RIBBON

Clic on pic to enlarge

A co-worker finished her Chemo. So we had a party for her. I made the card from Create a Critter and Lyrical Letters.

























I decorated the tables with the flowers. I got the idea of the flowers from http://www.frenchiestamps.com/2010/09/paper-flower.html
They are so easy and turn out so PRETTY!!!


















I made the cake boxes from TBBM, for the pink frosting I welded pink ribbons to a triangle using my gypsy. I put Lifesavers in the boxes. I embossed the sides of the boxes with the folder Broken branches. I made 24 cake boxes.
























I made BIG Pink Ribbons (using Stand and Salute cart.) to decorate the door and I used Justrite stamps for the center.
