Challenge Title: Stop and Smell the Roses
Hostess: Stamp_Momma (Lori)
Keyword: HYCCT1531A
Date: October 31st, 2015
The last day of Hope You Can Cling To, and what a ride it's been. Standing ovation to all of our friends, designers, community... you have been AMAZING THIS YEAR, and I can't wait to see what you do with my final challenge!
Don't forget to mail your cards to MD Anderson - this challenge is such a blessing to the patients and their families!
My last challenge this year is a reminder, even during difficult and hard times, stop and smell the roses! Some days it might be the smallest bit of joy that you can even image, but to someone else it's a huge hug.
That's what each of us who shares a card with the cancer center (either the MD Anderson Cancer Center or your local cancer center!) does... It's a gift that gets given over and over: we share with the Splitcoast community, share with the MD Anderson staff, share with the cancer patient or the family who choose your card and share with the recipient when it's finally moved along with it's message of love and hope!
My challenge to you is a call to include roses on your card! Images, paper or embellishments! The choice is yours! I chose to use yellow roses because they always warm my heart, even during hard times.

Thank you so much for participating in this card drive!
So, I finished and uploaded my card for this challenge...and forgot to include it in the proper galleries. I tried to go back and edit it, to put it in the HYCCYT galleries, but was unsuccessful. Can anyone help?? Thanks. Here's the card:
I can't believe that today is the final day of the challenges! What a lovely way to fill the gallery with beautiful roses, Lori. Hope to join the fun later today.
What a great challenge for the end of our HYCCT 2015 journey! I used a fussy cut roses image I have saved for a special card- and added a floral background, along with a purple and pink block- thanks to my stamping buddies. Sentiment comes from Thank you for being You set from SU. Here's HYCCT1531A Thank You Roses

I just happened to have been colouring an image on Friday night which included roses ;-), so yesterday I made it up into a card (with more roses in the DP) to add to my package.
Wonderful and inspired challenge, Lori. Good advice for anyone to stop and smell the roses. Here's mine which I combined with the Featured Stamper Challenge today.
