This is my card sample for the 2014 Hope You Can Cling To Challenge.
Breast Cancer is such a devastating diagnoses for women. For those that wait, go through treatment, or care for the health of their loved one; there are days when you just don't feel like you've got a song left in your heart. Sing Anyway Beloved!
This card will be sent to a dear friend who received a diagnosis at the beginning of the summer. It is an honor and privilege to continue to design for Splitcoststampers, especially during this very important challenge. I hope you'll join me and others and send your card to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Brighten up someone's day won't you?
Susie, this is gorgeous!!! I love your water color in the background and of course all the pink! This is a fabulous encouragement card! I am ssorry to hear your friend received a diagnosis. Wishing her a swift and complete recovery. Thanks so much for urging us to "keep singing" with your beautiful challenge!

I know your friend will cherish this fabulous card. Did you do all that incredible lettering? I love it. Even all the more special if all of this is hand-drawn.

Your little dots on the letters is a Fabulous idea, Susie! It makes those letters really shine! Beautiful job with the calligraphy! Cute little birdies and music notes too~
