Live…Laugh…Love Life

Hello ladies!!!  Today I have another new release for you at McMahon Five Designs and guess what?  It’s the time again where we give you a gentle reminder to do your self check.  If you do, we have a free image for you and I made a card with that image.

Since the month of February is Organ Donor month, we are highlight Organ Donor Awareness.  (Sue has written more about that later in the post.) 

I colored my image in the colors for Organ Donation and used an Awareness pin in the middle of the flower as a fun embelly.  Then the recipient of the card can take the pin off and put it on their lapel.  I handed out a lot of these pins ever since I was put on the transplant list.  I love that image!!!  As with last month’s image, it’s appropriate for any type of awareness.

Deets:  The DP is Basic Grey, the rose is cut from American Crafts ribbon and I added some Making Memories (I think) gold pearls.  The ribbon is vintage.

Even though our focus is Breast Cancer Awareness, our images can be used for many other cancers and diseases.  Listed below are the Awareness' for February.

One is very near and dear to our Hearts.  Literally.  Our very own Christine, is a Heart Donor Recipient.  You can read about her story HERE.

If you aren't an organ donor, please consider becoming one.
It can save a life....like Christine's.  There are currently 110,179 people on the waiting list for a new heart.

You should also know that even if you sign up on the back of your drivers license, you should also register with your state.  In an emergency situation when minutes matter, it makes it much easier for health professionals to know your wishes if you are registered with your state. Please sign up with your state HERE.

After you have completed your self breast exam this month,
this beautiful digital stamp is yours FREE!

Live, Laugh, Love Life
