Hello and welcome to the 4th annual Hope You Can Cling To challenge and card drive - we are so thrilled that you are here!! Thank you so much for all your support so far - I can't believe we're rolling into our final week of challenges!!
I know when I�ve gone through difficult times in my life, the thing that I found most refreshing was to have someone just really listen to me � not try to fix things for me, or say the right thing (because more often than not, those words aren�t there), but just to sit, allow me to get everything out into words, take it in, and through those words, process the situation along with me. The skill of listening is so valuable and rare.
So, for my challenge today... I want to see EARS on your cards!
You can choose an animal image, or an image of a person � the important thing is that an ear, big or small, is showing. If you�re feeling punny and want to have ears of corn instead� I�ll take that, too.
Thank you again for joining us! Please see the details below for sending in your cards.

Thank you for participating in this card drive, and thanks to my sample makers, too!
Dina, I went very simple on this one. Unusual for me but the moment I read "ears" this stamp which I have only used a couple of times popped into my head. Maybe later I can add another card with NON PUNNY ears! Thanks for the fun challenge!
Your words are so spot on. I got a little verkelempt reading them because they touched my heart deeply. Listening is so important to helping someone heal from any ailment.
I'm looking forward to this. Will be out all day today (boooo) but it's Friday! Hopefully I get to play tonight.

This is the stamp I didn't use for my sample - it's been sitting on my desk ever since - along with MORE Sizzix papers that I thought worked with the icecream theme ;-).
Dina- I also went with a dog, from SU's Bow Wow- he's a good listener- and added a double twine tie. Sentiment is from TE's Critters from the Forest- a liked the friendly typeface. Here's Thanks Friend

Dina- I grew up in Northern California, and have fond memories of autumn days with my family- so this inspired my card. Yes- the little boy's ears are peaking through- he's from SU's Heart and Home set. Thanks to Diane for the stamped images- and to my local card store for letting me use their solid colored dp from the recycle bin for those leaves Here's Heart and Home

Had to work today. Could not wait to get home and try combining these stamps. I forgot to mention that the sentiments are from GKD inside says "you mean everything to me." Bun bun pumpkin by janeenk at Splitcoaststampers
