Challenge Title: Things Are Lookin' Up
Hostess: Bridget Finlay (bfinlay)
Keyword: HYCCT1109
Date: Sunday, October 9, 2011
"HOPE" makes me think of looking up and to the future! The dictionary says it's looking forward with expectation! And things ARE lookin' up for the future - survival rates are better than ever before and research is bringing better and more effective treatments on the scene! Our challenge today is to make a card with things we can see when lookin' up! Let your creativity run loose with butterflies, birds, bees, ladybugs, balloons, airplanes, clouds, sky, stars, sun, rainbows, sunsets, mountains...you get the idea! I hope you're enjoying all the HOPE challenges - looking forward to seeing your creations!

I agree, Sabrina - I'm looking up to a gray, rainy dark sky today - just reminding myself the sun is still there, I just can't see it! Good day to stay in and stamp!
For today's Hope You Can Cling to Challenge, Things Are Lookin' Up, I stamped a mountain scene, complete with sheep and cows on a beautiful sunny day. I added some flowery ribbon for the meadow floor. Have a great sunday!
Hey everyone, it's midnight here in the U.K. so I'm going to have to hit the hay, but I'll be up bright and early tomorrow morning to check out what you've come up with while I've been asleep!!
Well I missed yesterday's challenge, but I might make it up later in the month. I enjoyed Bridget's challenge today as the idea to use the star ef came to me right away.
I made a sky scene for HYCCT1109 and had a blast. I'm posting the same day as the challenge. What a great feeling. I'm sending five of these cards. Thanks, Debby
Here is a link to my card Dreams Take Flight
I so enjoyed reading your thoughts, Bridget, and the theme for your challenge! My element of looking up are my birds in the wind. Here's my card A Flair for Music ....thanks for the challenge, Bridget!
