For the HYCCT challenge, Misti gave us a list of many cancers and the colors that represent them. Judy chose Darlene(darlenedesign) as the FS for this week. I am more of an "inspired by" than a "CASER" and chose this CARD of Darlene's for inspiration.
This card is in memory of my mother who died all too young. Her cancer was so wide spread by the time she was operated on, all the surgeon could tell me it either was colon or ovarian cancer which started it all. So I chose colors to represent each...dark blue/teal. The lilies-of-the-valley were her favorite flowers and I thought it apropos to make it a thank you card in honor of all that she and my father gave me.

Beautiful card Sallie! Your mother's story sounds an awful lot like my mom's. She loved Lily of the Valley also. What a lovely tribute card. Thank you!

Wow, this one really hit home! Your artwork is always something I look forward to seeing and love the colors you chose and the reasons for it. My dearest friend has both colon and ovarian stage 4 and is in year 7 but failing. Your card has so much heart in it and this one in particular is so special!
