It's the 17th of the month, and that means it is time to remind you ladies to do your breast self-exam and get those yearly mammograms scheduled.  Don't let the busy summertime get in the way of taking care of this important health check.

Make Time

It's the 17th of the month, my sistahs!  I know this time of year is busy for all of us, and that is why I am reminding you to do your monthly self-breast exam.  Cancer doesn't take a holiday.  I wish it would.  So, we must make the time to check ourselves.


Since this month is all about squeezing every minute out of our day, I thought I would do a quick one layer card to remind you to squeeze the girlies.



Here is a short video for you showing how this card is made.

Girl Power

We are strong together.  That is why some of my sistahs and I are joining together for this month's Calling All Sistahs blog hop to share some Girl Power!


While we may not all be fighting breast cancer, we are all in this fight together.  Sistah, I encourage you to stop what you are doing right now and check yourself.  If  you haven't had your yearly mammogram, get it scheduled today. Don't wait.  It could just save your life!  If you are fighting breast cancer, please know that you are not in this alone.  We are all rallying behind you in this fight!!!  You've got this, sistah!

Remind A Sistah

It's the 17th of the month, and you know what that means.  This is your monthly reminder to do your breast self-exams and to get those mammograms scheduled, if you haven't had yours this year.  Each month we do a Calling All Sistahs blog hop to remind our friends and family.  Early detection is so key to long term survival rates and cures!!!!!!!  So, take some time right now to Check Yourself!

This month we are doing something extra special for the hop.  A hop with a theme: "Remind A Sistah".  Our goal in this hop is to make a card, or other project, to remind one of our "sistahs" (friends, family, neighbors, etc.) to do their self-check.   Bonus points if you send the card.  :)   Here is my card for the hop.

Isn't this card a fun reminder?  I used the emboss resist technique and heat embossing and made a video to share my tips with you!
