Link Up For Pink Challenge #11

It's the third Thursday of the month, which means it is time for a new challenge over at Link Up For Pink! I hope you'll join us in spreading awareness and reminding your girlfriends and family to get their Mammograms.

The theme for the challenge is breast cancer awareness,  inspirational, healthy reminders, "celebrate more birthdays", you're in  my thoughts, encouragement, etc.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Fresh Brewed Designs and the prize is three digital images and a bonus prize!!!



For my card I used one of Heathers digital images called Chick With Bunny Ears which you can purchase here. I printed it on card stock and cut it into a tag which I then paper pierced all around the edges. I also printed the chick on a scrap of yellow patterned paper I had, fussy cut it and glued it onto my chick on the tag. I added some grass and flowers too! The sentiment was done on my computer.
