 *"How to place a bid on my card/project"
Step #1
Find the comment section of the blog that shows the "Blogs 4 boobies" card or project that you want to buy. *Please note you may only bid on the card/project shown in the specific "blogs 4 boobies" post. *Any bids not placed on the correct post will be considered invalid.
Step #2
Once you are in the "blogs 4 boobies" comment section fill in the dollar and cents amount of what you are willing to pay for the card/project. We recommend a starting bid of $5 or more. Remember your bid includes shippings well as the card/or project. 100% of the money your bid will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation
Step #3
Next to your $ bid please type in your email address. During a silent auction bidders sign their name next to their bid. typing your email address is the electronic equivalent of signing your bid. Also it will help the blogger contact you if you are the highest bidder.
Step #4
Watch and wait.

Once you have entered your bid/comment sit back and wait. If someone out bids you then you may bid again. Bidding will continue until 8:00 p.m. Mountain time 7 days after the first post.
* Please note that the participating stampers/bloggers will probably re-post their Blogs 4 Boobies card/project on the during the week of bidding in June. When the blogger re-post their project then the bidding will continue on the NEWEST post and that comment section.

Here is the amazing lineup of designers for day 4:

I have 2 cards up for auction, you can bid on as a set.

For my cards, I have used Skipping stones stamp provided by the blog hop sponsor, who is doing the fundraiser.
I have used the Dandelion wishes set here, the first card is pretty simple with just white base and front. I used some of the images from the set to create my design, and the sentiment is also from the same set. A monochromatic card, I am sure many of you like to send out monochromatic cards too for birthday ;)

Linking this card with:

CASology

Seize the Birthday
Just with anything goes

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge
Top row across, yellow, mixed alphas, and garden

---------------------------------------------

The second one is a mixed media card. I used the stamps on a watercolor paper, the background is created first with some mother of pearl in gold, I used a cling wrap to splotch it around the card, and once it was dry I Sponged the backgroun in sunset tones using 5 different shade of distress inks.
I also added some water splatters, all the stamps are from the dandelion wishes from skippin stones.
A few rhine stones to finish off. The sentiment is added on a dark brown strip using white pigment ink, and it is from STAMplorations, I hope you like this one.

Linking this with:
