Riley With A Cause

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

Good Morning!

I have a special card to share with you today! Put up in the Hanna Stamps store just yesterday, is Ribbon Riley!

He's perfect for any cause you want to show your support for; all you need to do is color the ribbon the appropriate color! October is the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month so in honor of that, Kristi is releasing Ribbon Riley early.

We all know someone who has been affected by breast cancer in one way or another and wouldn't they love a card that makes them smile but also lets them know you're thinking of them? I think if you love your Riley's, this really is a must have for your collection.

I had no problem picking the patterned paper for this card. Basic Grey's Lemonade Collection with all it's pink was an obvious choice. I used this week's Get Sketchy #7 for my layout and girlied the card up a bit with some scalloped edging and some yummy ribbon. With all the ribbon I do have, I don't have any wide pink ribbon! I kept staring at my collection hoping that one would appear right before my eyes, but no such luck. :(

Be on the look out for another post from me this morning! I told you it was going to be a crazy week! :)
