Guest Designer Penny Ward with a Breast Cancer Awareness Month Card

Please welcome this quarter's guest designer, Penny Ward.





Hello from Largo & Lake Placid, Florida. My name is Penny Ward and I am so honored to be a guest designer here at Scor-Pal. I started making greeting cards about 2 years ago (though I have never made a scrapbook page) and I LOVE all the tools and pretty papers!!!  I am currently on the Design Team at ScrapbookPal.com and my first published cards came out in the November issue of CardMaker magazine, with at least six more published cards to follow in 2013.
I retired from a Fortune 300 company recently after almost 20 years. I have been married forever to the most wonderful man. We have two grown sons (Shane & Logan), a beautiful daughter in love (Soledad) and the two most adorable grandsons on earth (Declan & Ryder).
I hope you will visit my blog www.pennysscrappaperscissors.blogspot.com often for new ideas and inspiration.

Today I am bringing you a sweet card that is appropriate for any woman. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and what friend, sister, mother, grandmother wouldn't love receiving this card in the mail????

Congrats on being Guest Designer Penny!!! Your card is adorable and love how you used the Scor-Bug for the background along with the regular scoring. The inky just makes it pop! Perfect card for this month!!!

Penny,
Your card is so, so precious. I especially love the stamped image. We use to call our bras, over the shoulder boulder holders, a swing is much cuter....lol. The pillow ticking is perfect. Love, love, love it.
hugs, Diana
