HYCCT1430 Hope Soars Chat Thread
Challenge Title: Hope Soars
Hostess: jentimko aka Jen
Keyword: HYCCT1430
Date: Thursday, October 30, 2014
Welcome to day 30 of the Hope You Can Cling To Challenge 2014. I'm in such awe of this 5th year of compassion and caring for those fighting cancer.
I know that when the diagnosis of cancer is first heard, it can feel like the world has turned against you. I found this quote to be particularly fitting and I'm hoping it will provide some inspiration.
My challenge to you: Cards inspired by things that take off!
Let's make beautiful cards that help spirits soar. Butterflies, birds, balloons�all of these take off and bring joy. I'm so excited to see you soaring in the gallery!

Great challenge Jen!! I have to say I sort of stretched the soar aspect of this..I know..I always have to be a bit different. Hope you like it. I really enjoyed reading your bio and I have two things to say..your boys are very cute, you must be very proud and thank you for your service to our country.
I know I have some eagle stamps ( more than one) and I was leaning towards some patriotic theme but, that is probably going to have to wait till the weekend to try them...

I went with an owl this time- Owls can really soar!- and a cozy home/vintage theme with yellow gingham washi tape, distressing and ink edging, and some sewing. Used a fall card with a pumpkin pie as my background Here's Pumpkin Pie Owl
