"Who's ready to find out the latest theme for the Bombshell Stamps Hump
day Hop? Last month, it was all about the boys...well this month, in
anticipation of October, the theme is "Let's Hear it for the Girls!"
This theme is a little more specific then last month's though. I want
you to create a card or project that could be sent to someone during
October, which is (here in the States), Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
So let's all Think Pink!
You can go with a pink card, Girl
Power, use the infamous pink ribbon symbol, etc. But we want to worship
those ladies that are fighting (or have fought) for their lives."
Okay, So!! I want to be the rebel of the group. YES! this hop was in anticipation of October's Breast Cancer Awareness month. But did YOU!!! know? That September features a day for OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS? Just one day?! And Breast Cancer gets ONE WHOLE MONTH!!! So the inner rebel in me says... I am going to make sure you hear it for the girls with OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS!!!
I used the flower icon from the Bombshell Angel set, and the Letters from Tattoo Font set to create this card for a very VERY special woman in my life. My Aunt Marie. She is on her second time battling Ovarian Cancer and shes kicking its tail!!! She is a true Bombshell, I am so thankful to have her in mine and Diem's lives. I mean she IS where Diem gets her middle name from!! :)

While the ninth most common cancer among women, ovarian cancer is the
fifth leading cause of cancer-related death among women, and is the
deadliest of gynecologic cancers. Mortality rates are slightly higher
for Caucasian women than for African-American women.
