Hi there,
Here is my card for the CAS challenge; Everyday heroes. It also works for the CAS-tastic challenge and the challenge at Caardvarks.
My hero is my mom. She is no longer with us but she inspired so many and helped so many whenever she could. She worked at the church, Right to Life, Funeral Support Team, drove seniors to appointments....all volunteer, even when she was sick and dying of cancer (and didn't know it }and felt bad that she wasn't helping out. She touched so many lives....my mom was my best friend too.
Anyway, I know my mom is in Heaven; this card really reflects her life. She did make time to make a difference.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking,
Karen

This is the most incredible card - so beautiful in blue green gingham with a fabulous sentiment and the most lovely butterfly ever - but also wonderful because it's in honor of your special Mother!
