Thank you for participating in this card drive!

A HUGE thank you to my A-MAZING sample makers: Karen B Barber, BevMom, and Kimberly Crawford

great idea! Thanks for the challenge Cindy!

Here is my card for today's challenge! I love this sentiment from SU's Faith in Nature and think it is perfect for my card.

Keep the Faith

HYCCT1126 I believe Love Grows When Shared by Crafty Julia

For today's Hope You Can Cling To Challenge, I used SU's Love Grows, and embossed the sentiment on the card in gold. I stamped a sunflower and bee, then added some die cut flowers, gold elastic cord, and a perky red gingham tie. I believe Love Grows When Shared! Here's my card:

My sunshine turned out a little dark. I may try to make another card later today if I have a few minutes. Here it is: Sunshine Card by amyk3868 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Thanks for giving me a reason to use a little yellow on a cold morning in Oregon!

Here's my card.....keeping in mind that winter is MY sunshine...it's a little hello card! :D

Winter Hello! by LuvLee - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I though yellows and oranges would make a cheery card. Here's mine

Hello Sunshine

This is one of my fav Tilda stamps...she just looks like she's running outside under the sun. She's Spreading Sunshine!

Sunshine to me interprets to mean bright...and bright is what I am not good at...so I am not completely happy with this card, but I think it brings "sunshine"...

I knew I wanted to use Trees Three, but I also wanted to play along with the sketch challenge so I just had to make two cards.
Bought more envelopes today, too, so I'm going to spend the next half hour bagging a backlog of cards :rolleyes:.

Song of Hope

Since I've never seen sweet Miss Cindy when she WASN'T smiling that infectious smile, and I don't think there's anything more encouraging than a smile, I used that for my inspiration...

I think "Hang in There" is encouraging for the recipient...
TFL!

HYCCT1126 DHAT10s Sunshine and Friendship

Here is my HYCCT1126 Sunshine Card. I just got this Stampin' Up set Precious Butterflies and this sentiment was perfect. I stamped the vine and butterfly first with Brilliance white then with Distress ink to give a slight highlight effect.
