I cannot believe it is the middle of August already. This summer has gone by too fast for me. Unlike some mothers', I am not ready for school to start. Since I work in a school, school starting means my vacation is over too!!
Today the Calling All Sistah's Blog Hop is a little bit different. We were all challenged to design a card to "Remind a Sistah" to either check themselves monthly OR a card to remind a friend to make their yearly mammogram appointment. (This is something I need to do for myself so this hop was a great reminder for me too!!) Who doesn't appreciate a nice reminder-especially a home made card?
Please be sure to comment on each blog as there will be 3 winners randomly chosen for $15 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps gift codes from the blogs on the hop. If you get lost, just hop on over to the CAS-ual Friday Blog to get the full list of participants.
I chose to create a card to remind a friend to make their mammogram appointment.
I knew what I wanted to do right away once I saw the theme. I started by using my Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter to die cut a t-shirt out of watercolor patterned paper. I stamped a phrase from the "Calling All Sistahs" stamp set onto the front with black ink.
I then die cut a white tag using CAS-ual Fridays "Tag Buddies Fri-dies" and stamped the first part of the sentiment with "Raspberry Jam" in and the second part in black.
I used a heart embossing folder to dry embossed a piece of pink card and mounted this over an A2, top folding card that complimented the patterned paper t-shirt. Next I cut the top part off the tag and adhered the remainder to the top of the pink, embossed card stock.
I used foam adhesive to adhere the t-shirt and layered paper flowers over the collar, using a mini sequin for the center. My last step was to randomly adhere sequins in a diagonal down the front.
The next person on the hop is Vicky Dutcher.

Love your tshirt! I was wondering how to make a pic without being too shocking and you managed it! Beautiful card.
Sweet reminder!
great reminder card....blessings
I love your card! What a great reminder! I wish my GYN's office would send out a reminder like this! That tee shirt is so pretty with the flowers and I love the embossed heart background!
Beautiful card and a great cause!
Pretty in pink. Thanks for sharing.
Super cute idea!
Very cool card! As a breast cancer survivor, I appreciate this reminder to all!
I'm so glad you liked this theme, Nora! Your graphic T-Shirt idea is AWESOME!!! I think Michele needs to make a t-shirt die for those of us that don't have a craft cutter. ;)
Fun card for a serious subject.
Tell it like it is!
thanks for sharing.
This is so creative Nora and I just love that sentiment!

Another fabulous card, and what a great way to remind everyone to take care of ourselves! I love how you colored the T-shirt, and how you added texture to the panel on the background! Beautiful work, Nora!
