Here is another auction item for the Saddle Club cancer research fundraiser in September. I love the paper I used - it looks like tooled leather. Thank you TyAnn for the donation of the paper!

Saddle Club Cancer Research Fundraiser
Last week, in the midst of Relay for Life, a dear friend asked me to make some cards to auction at the State competition for the Montana Saddle Clubs. This young lady is in charge of the queen candidates (herself being a Queen a few years ago!), and their raising money for, I believe, breast cancer research. All the saddle clubs and rodeos across the state have a fundraiser called "Tough Enough To Wear Pink" for the guys (we even had a print for raffle at Relay for Life with the same title). In other words, are the guys tough enough to wear a pink shirt while competing?
So, below are 7 cards I'm giving her for auction. I felt honored that she asked me to make these cards! Card #7 is actually one of a set of six, all identical. The other 6 are a set as well, but all different.
Good luck to all the participants, including the queen candidates, at the Saddle Club state competition in September! (We were privileged this year to have the national competition for the Saddle Club Association in Montana as well!)
Thank You Card
I made this card for a dear lady who has spent months and many hours getting the Hiline Relay for Life organized. Thank you Linda!

BC Walkers Team Banner
Below is the team banner I designed using core board, my Cricut, the Pooh Font and Stand & Salute cartridges. Although I designed and made 8 luminary bags, I only included family members on our banner. Next year, there will be many more family members listed on our team banner. I only signed our team up 3 weeks prior to the Relay for Life event, and I discovered after the banner was completed that I had many more relatives who lost their battles with cancer.
So, here is a special tribute to the rest of our family members:
IN LOVING MEMORY:
Great-Grandpa John Nicholas Schiavone
Great-Aunt Marie Iaricci
Uncle George Wagner
Uncle Harry Wagner
Aunt Betty Downs
Cousin Don Smith
We love you and miss you!
IN CELEBRATION OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE CANCER SURVIVORS:
Great-grandma Ermalinda Schiavone
Uncle Louis DePaolo
cousin Regina Caron
BC Walkers Team T-shirts - Relay for Life
Below are the team t-shirts I made for our team, the BC Walkers. I chose "BC" Walkers because my late husband died of brain cancer and he loved the comic strip "BC." Unfortunately, everybody thought it stood for breast cancer.
I used my Cricut and the Pooh Font cartridge for the lettering. I also used the ribbon from the Stand & Salute cartridge. I combined everything into one cut with Design Studio software and cut the stencil out of waxed freezer paper. I then ironed the stencil onto the t-shirts, and using white and silver metallic Tulip brand fabric paint, painted the designs with foam brushes, then removed the freezer paper.
Relay for Life Luminary Bags
On August 6, 2010, Gary & I walked in the Hiline Relay for Life. It was once again an emotional night. We saw friends from out of state who, since the last time we saw them, are battling cancer. We saw local friends and walked and talked all night. According to the Relay for Life website, our small town's Relay raised over $43,000, which topped the amount raised last year by almost $10,000! All this money is for the American Cancer Society for research!
The next 8 posts are the luminary bags either we purchased or others purchased from me as part of the fundraising effort. Each luminary bag was specifically decorated for the individual with their favorite things.
Thank you to all who donated to the fundraising efforts of our team, the BC Walkers (team corporate sponsor: Meadowgold), and to our local Relay for Life. Your donations are great appreciated!
Next year, we're changing our team name to "Clowns for a Cure." We chose this name for a number of reasons. Gary is a Shriner Hobo Clown, and has always supported the Shriner's hospitals so next years we want to "Clown" for a cure. Also, Gary has 10 grandchildren & 2 step-grandchildren and kids love clowns, so we want each of them to grow up knowing we are doing everything possible to let them grow up in a cancer-free world.
Luminary Bag #1
In memory of Larry Lang, my late husband, who lost his battle with brain cancer. Gary enjoyed fishing and never went anywhere without a fishing pole! Larry always told me that when I finished college, he was going to retire and take the dog fishing every day.

Luminary Bag #2
In memory of Vera Lang, my late mother-in-law, who lost her battle with colon cancer. I never got to meet Vera, she passed away before I met my late husband. Vera was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and enjoyed wearing gowns, plus I still have flowers in my garden that Vera planted. Every spring when I see these flowers bloom, I remember that Vera planted them for others to enjoy in years to come.
