This is a quick, easy card. I colored the image using the fall colors from the CC500 and I used the layout from the SC510. The challenge that needs explaination is why I would use an image of a house for a challenge about "my hero". Well, my heroes are my mom and dad who made our home a place of unconditional love, support, encouragement, fun and happiness. Both of my parents are gone now, in fact today is the 5 year anniversary of my dad's death, I think about them always and I am so greatful that I had such wonderful parents. This house image just makes me smile...it's a happy home.
