Congratulations, Jan! Please contact e-mail me to make arrangements to receive your prizes.

Thanks to everyone who played along with the challenge. It looks like Movember still has a way to grow -- pun intended. However, all the linked cards were great.

See you next month for a holiday-themed challenge.   :)

There's Still Time...

... to play along with our Changing-the-Face-of-Men's-Health Challenge. You have until November 28 to link up a card.

W2SB #23: Changing the Face of Men's Health

Hi, everyone! Sybrina here welcoming you to Movember (formerly known as November)  -- the hairiest month of the year.   :)

It turns out that what's good for the goose really is good for the gander. Just as October has become the month to promote breast cancer awareness, November has become the month to bring awareness to men's health issues, such as prostate and testicular cancers.


So, let's see how the gals have interpreted this month's words: Changing the Face of Men's Health.

First up is Kristie, our November Guest I-Teamer. Not sure which I love more: that amazing background or adorable sentiment strip! Thanks so much for joining us the month, Kristie! We're so glad you did.  :)

Kristie

Annie's fun card -- with those clever two-lane side borders -- accentuates the "move" in Movember.  MOVE is a 30-day fitness challenge designed to combat physical inactivity. No MOVE is too big or small.

Annie

Greta's sweet card also highlights the "move" in Movember. I just love how Greta's border complements her little bear's wardrobe -- as well as framing this adorable scene.

Greta

Just sayin' Penny's card is adorable, and I love her color choices and funky embellishments. 

Penny

Don't you just love that colorful designer paper and fun mustache embellishment Bobbi used on her card?! And, Bobbi's cards always have lots of texture.

Bobbi

As for my card, I couldn't resist the temptation to add a bit of irreverence to this oh-so-serious photo. This card will be going to a former work colleague, along with a donation to this cause that is near and dear to Tom's heart.

Sybrina

So, how will you interpret our November words? We can't wait to see. And, a $10 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp will go to the winner of our Changing-the-Face-of-Men's-Health Challenge!

Join us in changing the face of men's health!!

And the Winner is...

... Becca for the fabulous card shown below. We just couldn't resist that show-stopping pink dress!

Becca

Becca, congrats on a well-deserved win. Please e-mail me at cards.by.sybrina@gmail.com for prize details.  :)

W2SB #22 Fight Like A Girl!!!

Happy October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Penny Ward here today.  I am super excited to be hosting this month's challenge as it deals with Breast Cancer which most of you know I endured a short time ago.

I recently passed my one year anniversary as a Survivor and there is no better feeling!!!

Breast Cancer can happen to anyone...there does not need to be a history of it in your family.

1 in 8 women (and a few unfortunate men) will develop Breast Cancer.

SCARY!!!!

So we at Words 2 Scrap By want to get the word out there in a fun way, by having a Breast Cancer Awareness theme this month.

Below are the creations made by the Fantabulous I-Team to get your Pink mojo rolling:

Starting our inspiration today is Guest Designer Carol. Her beautiful butterfly is so unique with the Pink ribbon as the body. Elegant sentiment and great use of the layout. 

Superb!!!!

Carol 

How adorable is the sentiment Bobbi chose to compliment her Pink bras?

And that ribbon!!!!

(I will be CASing that technique on a card real soon)

Bobbi

What a wonderful Pink ribbon background Annie has made on her card and so loving the sentiment.

YES, we can find a cure!

Annie

This beautiful background is a watercolor wash that just gives Sybrina's creation a little something, something!

Her unique use of the Pink ribbon in place of the letter "i" is brilliant!

Sybrina

Look at all that gorgeous embossed Pink!

Greta has created a beautiful feminine card and added a really important sentiment....for all of us!

Greta

 I love the soft Pink letterpress look with the vibrant butterfly. 

The sentiment in Black has a powerful message.

Penny

We hope you play along...prizes are involved...just sayin'.

How about a set of Radiant Neon Electric Purple (you would think it would be Pink) ink pad, irRESISTible Neon Purple Spray and irRESISTible Pico Purple embellisher?

My very sweet friends at Imagine Crafts featuring Tsukineko have provided the prize this month.

And before I let you get to crafting....

Make a card, play along for your chance to win. Then if you don't personally know someone with Breast Cancer, take your card to your local Oncology center and ask that the card go to their newest Breast Cancer patient.

She/he will love it and you will feel good about making someones day!

 

Share how you Fight Like A Girl!!!

Thar Be A Winner!
