BCAM Nugget Box

I have another pink project to share with you today in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I was craving chocolate all week. I went to Walmart planning to raid their Halloween candy aisle. To my surprise, there were no Hershey's Nuggets. I know they come out with special Nuggets during Christmas, and I had thought they have it during Halloween also. I could be wrong. Well, I ended up in the regular snack/candy aisle buying the small bag (good! less calories should I eat the whole bag by myself!)  My favorites are Milk Chocolate with Toffee & Almonds, Milk Chocolate with Almonds, and Cookies & Cream... Just in case you plan to send me some! Ü

Why nuggets? Yes, I know they come in full-size bars, and it's better to buy just one bar, eat the whole thing, beat myself up about it, then forget it... But I'm a crafter, and I love to wrap them!!! Ü

Lap of Luxury DSP, Acetate

Sorry, the ribbon is not from SU! I'm not sure the brand, I bought it years ago, while I was making wedding invitations

Isn't this box just darling?! I love creating boxes for chocolates. Here I used an acetate slip-on cover. A cardstock cover could easily be used also, but it's so great to see the goodies inside!  Ü

I will have to post the box instructions later. I got dimensions from somewhere and I didn't note it, but the cover didn't come out great, and I had to do the math, cut, score, and construct my own. Check back soon.

I think I may be making more of these today. That way I will stop eating them!! It's harder to eat when they're all so pretty.  Ü

Thank you for visiting. Go get yourself some chocolate... you deserve it!



October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer is a scary thing to think of. I think many of us ignore the importance of Breast Cancer Awareness. Well, we know it exists... that's not good enough. 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer... 1 in 8! It could be me, it could be my family, my friends, my customers. Early detection and effective treatment decreases the risk of death caused by breast cancer. Know what to look for, and take the time to educate yourself about breast cancer. Visit BreastCancerAwareness.com.They have great information about breast cancer, including facts, tips, prevention, and screening.

For more information about breast cancer visit these great sites: Pink Ribbon, Susan G. Komen for the Cure (find your local Race for the Cure), and Komen Hawaii (breast cancer awareness events in Hawaii)

Pink is the official color for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I created this collection of cards:

Pretty in Pink, Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla, Lap of Luxury DSP, Silhouette Sentiments Stamp Set, 1 3/4" x 7/8" Oval Punch, Extra Large Scallop Oval Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 3/4" Scallop Cirlce Punch, 1/4" Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon, 5/8" Victoria Lace Trim, Basic Pearls Jewels

I only now noticed that there is no pink on that card. Oops! Sorry.

I really like this Lap of Luxury DSP. I regret not buying Style Beautiful Stamp Set that coordinates. That will be in my next order.

I'm thinking of handing out pink business cards this month with my info and breast cancer awareness facts.

I hope you take the time to learn more about breast cancer and how detect it. Remember the best protection is early detection. And share your new knowledge with others you love. It may sound silly, but your husband or boyfriend can be your best reminder and supporter. I cannot tell you how many times my husband asks me if I have done a self exam. To tell you the truth, I usually haven't done one in months before he reminds me. I am blessed!

Thanks for stopping in today. Hope you enjoyed my BCAM cards. I will be posting more pink creations throughout the month. Stop in often.
