Best of luck with your fundraiser! Very sweet thing to do!
Will these images be free through the end of October (breast cancer awareness month) in the U.S.? The reason I ask is that I have a free digi challenge blog and would really like to use some of these images for our October challenge. The only hitch is that whatever images we use, must be free for the duration of the challenge. I'd love to use some of these if possible ... linking back to you of course. You can check us out at www.DigiHaven.BlogSpot.com. You can thank Dawn Lancaster for the link to your blog :o) ♥ Denise ... DigiHavenDT@Yahoo.com
Denise yes these images will remain Freebies and are Free to use for anyone making BCA projects etc. :)
Fabulous examples ladies - really proud of you all. :)
Good Luck Dawn with your Head Shave too. :)
this is looking fab everyone - back from my hols now so will set my card up to come out as a blog post tomorrow! Hugs Rachel xx
That is such a lovely thing you are doing Dawn, for your Mum. Cancer Research is one of the charities I contribute to every month, it is such a worth cause. Wishing you all the very best. Crafty hugs, Anne x
Ladies, I am so grateful to you all for making these lovely sample & especially to you Debbie for letting me do this & for creating these lovely images!

Thank you Debbie. I'll be sure to add a link to these images when our October post goes live. Thank you again!
On behalf of the Digi Haven Design Team I've made a donation to this fundraiser. I think we've all been touched in some way by this horrific disease. I'm sorry Dawn's mom, or any woman, has to go through this. Best Wishes and I'm hoping this fundraiser surpasses the set goal. Every bit help ... ♥ Denise
Thank you so much for the free images Debbie. Good to get that word out when we can.

Simply inspiring. Well done. Lynne from OZ
Thank you so much for these wonderful images. I lost my best friend to breast cancer four years ago. She was afraid to go to the doctor. She waited until she was stage 4. It is so important to check yourself and get a check up yearly . Due to my rare disease I can not have a Mamogram so I have an Ultra Sound. My payres
