Challenge Title: You are My Superhero
Hostess: Fantastic Four: mamaxsix (Gail), fionna51 (Diane), annsforte3 (Ann), jacqueline (Jacqueline)
Keyword: HYCCT1527HERO
Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2015
Every woman needs a superhero, someone who encourages a continuing detection plan, helps them get past the shock if diagnosed, and provides the extra strength as treatment progresses. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They can be those fighting for us as caregivers and supporters, or they might be healthcare workers on the front line of the battle. Whether they are involved in genetic counseling, in trying to find the greatest risk factors, in studying familial traits, in the research for the best cures, in the process of reconstruction for women who have had mastectomies, or in areas I don't even know about...they are all heroes to us, who live with the risk of this life-threatening cancer.
We want to honor those heroes! So your challenge is to make a card with a superhero theme. Use a superhero image...or a WHAM! or POW! or ZAP! or SHAZAM!
Have fun with our challenge and remember that the most important part of this challenge is actually mailing your cards to MD Anderson - this challenge is such a blessing to the patients and their families, and we are incredibly grateful for your generosity throughout the month.
Bless you for being a part of this event. All of us appreciate you!!

Here is a really fun Superhero Pinterest Board with lots of fun ideas and printables.
Remember it's all about the spirit of the challenge so you can think outside the box to who might be a hero to you or to a cancer patient and family. ;);)
Ann, this is a super fun challenge. I have a funny story on my card about Spiderman. I hope everyone gets a laugh. Thanks for hostessing these great challenges!!!

If you don't have just the right image for a super hero....think about using a superhero sentiment like, "You're My Hero" with an image of a nurse, soldier, mom, friend, or whatever. I have a Mom sentiment that says, "amazing, incredible one who does it all" that would work for this.
You could also choose to feature just a sentiment with no image. I believe in you guys....you've got this!
Great challenge Ann! I went with Korra, the last air bender from the Avatar series on Nickelodeon that our family watches. She is compassionate yet she is powerful. So here's HYCCT1527HERO Fearless

To my surprise this morning, I discovered there was another challenge for yesterday, so since I had no stamps superheroish, I broke out my Cricut Batman cartridge.
Okay, it's on the tracking sheet now, but it wasn't on the tracking sheet when I copied it.
There were some challenges added late in the process to bring us up to a total of 40. Lydia announced that there will be 3 on the 30th and 3 on the 31st in case those aren't on their either.
