THE CHALLENGE
This challenge is dedicated to my friend Nancy, whose best friend died of breast cancer. Let's take a horrible disease and try and bring some joy to those suffering from it.
Oh, and maybe you'll win a prize too!
Your challenge is to make a card without a sentiment on the front!
Hey, there is a reason this is called a challenge. It's harder than you think! But loads of fun too. Let's let our images speak for themselves!
Go for it. The patients and their families will love and appreciate your cards. And I can't wait to see your entries!

Heehee, I do this all the time because i don't have a sentiment I like. Watch, today I'll be completely stumped!

I found very cute Breast Cancer Awareness Digi Stamps from the Stretch N' Bubbles blog and I used one of them. I created everything on the computer, then just cut them out and matted the images. I made 4 of these cards (2 of each of the ones in the picture) because I didn't want to waste a piece of cardstock.
Fun challenge, Joan. I actually reworked a card I made the other day that I knew would work without a sentiment. Here it is -- Just Butterflies and Ferns. Just to clarify -- this is a brand-new card, just similar to one I made the other day.
A quick reminder. Don't forget to upload your cards to the gallery with the keyword
HYCCT03
in order to be eligible for prizes!
Thanks for the reminder, Joan. I did this this morning, but mine are still not showing up in the gallery.......I'm wondering if it is because the mods have today off from approving everything.
If not, I'll try to PM one of them to see what I'm doing wrong.
