Challenge Title: Words of Encouragement
Hostess: Eva, aka tradergirl
Keyword: HYCCT1129
Date: Saturday, October 29, 2011
I am excited to host today's challenge. I know how powerful words can be at times of need and what better way to show love and caring to someone with a card that can uplift them? My challenge is Words of Encouragement. You card's focal point should be a word, quote or sentiment of encouragement.

I think I'll have to go computer-generated for this, as most of my encouraging sentiments are scriptures so I can't use them, but I'll have a quick look through my stamps first and see if I can find anything suitable.
Thanks for the challenge.
I used a Hero Arts stamp called Sunshine and Flowers. The cardstock is shimmer from Archivers. The EF is Tim Holz Rays. The Nestie is called Deckled Circle (which I think looks like the sun). The flower punch is from Marvy.
There's some issue with the gallery link?
I was coming along to try to find some inspiration as to what classed as encouragement, but I get no cards found, not Lois's or Lynn's nor any of the samples.
For today's Hope You Can Cling To Challenge, I used Play the music that your Soul wants to hear. I find that music can lift up my spirits and calms my soul. I used a flower stamp from Hampton Arts and cool guitar one from Studio G, added some ribbon, and burlap, and voila! a card! Here's my card:

Well, apparently it's not just this gallery, as only three cards are showing in today's IC gallery...gremlins at work!!
OMGosh...I have been waiting all month for the right challenge to use this OCL stamp set! Thank you, Eva, for the opportunity to finally get to use it!
This is a wonderful challenge. This card is one of the hardest I've ever made, the first since I lost my sister to breast cancer. I know more than ever that to encourage and give people hope is a very important gift. As soon as DH returns with my camera, I will upload my challenge card.
Here is my HYCCT1129 encouragement card. I printed the sentiments digitally using Creative Memories Storybook Creator. I'm making four of these to send in.
