Challenge Title: Hope for the Holidays
Hostess: Jami
Keyword: HYCCT1128
Date: Friday, October 28, 2011
I'm happy to have the opportunity to host a challenge for this wonderful card drive as my life has been touched by breast cancer more than once. My great-aunt (who raised me) had breast cancer twice and survived it both times, the first time resulting in a mastectomy when I was just in high school. And a very close friend of mine from college lost her grueling four year battle with breast cancer just over 2 years ago. So I'm dedicating this challenge to them. I hope you'll play along. This should be a fun and easy one and I'm sure the Cancer Center will be happy to have holiday cards on hand!

Thank you for participating in this card drive!
Heartfelt thanks go out to my sample-makers for this challenge: Lydia (Understandblue), Dawn (TreasureOiler), and Teresa (va.sunshine).
I'll have to think about how to use pink as a primary colour for Christmas - be back soon . If I come up with a good idea I can make two and have one for myself.
Jami, I got hooked on pink for Christmas cards last year during the HYCCT and I am so glad that you brought it back. Thank you for the challenge! There are gorgeous cards in the gallery.

I was inspired by the wonderful cards in the Hope for the Holidays gallery for today to come up with a candy filled card. I started with Inkadinkado's Peppermint Twist, and added Ho Ho Ho. I sewed on the red and white ribbon, and added pink stretch lace. The bundled up snowman in the corner sends his regards, too!

Here is my HYCCT1128 Pink Christmas Card. I just got this stamp set and I thought it would look good in ice blue and pink. I'm making five of these cards to send in.
