As unconventional as pink may be for the winter holidays, Pink Passion (used in each of my three cards today) is the perfect emblem for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This post continues my "In the Pink" tribute to my sister-in-law, Karol Harris (now battling breast cancer), my sister, Laurie Balousek (a breast cancer survivor) and all those affected by this horrible disease.

So pretty Mary, I love those colors. Wow!!!
These are great, Mary! I love the color combo. So cute!
I love this non-traditional Christmas color combo! It’s so fresh!
These cards are great – love the pink with splashes of green. The little cactus tree card is adorable!
Hi. what a cute idea using the Simple Seasonal Thanks snowman. So creative, and another way to use that stamp set.
Your pink projects are perfect! I love how the pink passion looks with the old olive. Awesome job!
Old olive has got to be my favorite color of all !!! love how you can combine it with Pink Passion (both colors I have 😉 ). Very Cool, Mary!
Love all of them, Mary! So fun and so fresh! As always, great job!
oh, super cute mary! because i love pink so much…i’m happy to see it on christmas cards!!
they are all great…love the ornaments…SO fun!!
Mary – this took me back to when my daughter (now a college freshman) was in grade school. We made up a parody called “I’m Dreaming of a Pink Christmas.” Too much fun. I love your cards, & I also love non-traditional colors for Christmas cards. Thanks for the continuing inspiration!
I love the pink to honor your sister and sister-in-law and everyone else that has suffered with breast cancer! Although pink might not be what many would choose, using Old Olive still gives the cards a little of the traditional colors. Love it!
The cactus is so appropriate for those living in Arizona. How cute. I love your color combo. Good job!
these are incredibly funky xmas colors. love them and the departure from the traditional! neat idea mary… your artistry is gorgeous and the snoman is yummy cute!
I love these and the previous “in the pink” samples! Great job as always.
Beautiful cards as always Mary. Love all the buttons on your snowman – so cute!
I too love the color combo! Very creative and out of the box!
very striking card. love them all!
These cards are great! I love the colors and would love to get one of these cards for Christmas. Now you have me thinking. Thanks!
I love the color combo! Those buttons and snowflake on the snowman card are cute. Perfect touch for that little guy.
I Love pink on Christmas projects! I think it adds a nice modern twist 🙂
I used those same colors on my Control Freaks Tour projects last week, with a bit of Always Artichoke in there as well.
Love all three cards!
Cindy
These are the cutest cards!! I was so inspired I had to order the snowman stamp and the snowflake punch. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas!!!
Pretty colors.
I love all 3 cards and the buttons on the snowman are an adorable idea.
Love the Pink and Olive together! I think I have found another new Christmas combo! Thanks for sharing your fabulous work!
Great cards, as usual. The color combo is terrific and fresh for the holidays.
Absolutely fabulous! I love the pink and old olive together. Another smash hit Mary!
