This is my card for today's inspiration challenge. This is my story, I wish my story was happy for Maddy's sake.
1. Heavy on my mind today is my friend Maddy Mason. Many of you are familiar with Maddy. She has been very encouraging to many a stamper.
2. When I saw that the ispiration challenge was artwork, it made me think of Maddy even more as Maddy's wonderful creations have always been more on the artsey side. She is very talented and has a very unique and wonderful artsey style.
3. I tried to make this card in Maddy's style, not sure I succeeded but I think she will like it.
4. I have posted a RAK request (link below). I have updated that thread with some news I received from Maddy last night. It is not good news I am sad to say.
5. If you would like to help Maddy get through a very difficult time by sending her a card, your thoughts, prayers and well wishes, please visit this thread and pm me for her address.
6. In that thread I have also posted a link to Maddy's gallery.

What a beautiful card, Cindy, and it does look like a Maddy card! She will love it and you are so sweet to make it for her. I've pm'd you for her address. My MIL is a breast cancer survivor, and a good friend was recently diagnosed with Stage 1 BC, so this definitely hits close to home for me.

A very lovely card your friend will love-sorry she is going through this.
I will pm you for her address as well. I am a breast cancer survivor and my 37 year old niece found out this week hers has returned-originally in her jaw. Three lesions on the brain now-she had been free for 9 years - we had our surgeries the same year-1998.
