Welcome to the 5th annual Hope You Can Cling To challenge and card drive -- we are sooooo thrilled that you are here!! Thank you so much for supporting this amazing event. I love that we have done this for five years and come together each October for this incredible event!
We all loved the Sandra Bullock movie "Hope Floats" (or at least I did) - your challenge for this card is to have your card reflect an image of something that floats - a life boat, a buoy, marshmallows in a cup of hot chocolate, a lily pad on a reflecting pond, an inflatable pool toy, a rubber duckie or anything else whimsical or serious. Include a message of hope, courage or inspiration on your cardfront.
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
Thank you again for joining us! Please see the details below for sending in your cards.
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. All Hope You Can Cling To Challenge Entries must be uploaded to the Hope You Can Cling To Gallery, with the specific challenge keyword, no later than November 7th, 2014 at 12:00 Noon Central Time to be eligible for our fabulous prizes! Post a link to your entry in this thread.
2. You may not combine challenges, but you are welcome to create multiple cards for each challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
4. Please package all challenge entries with an envelope, protected with a clear plastic bag and mail them to our partner at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center to benefit patients being treated for breast cancer and their family. We would like for them to receive cards throughout the month of October, but we understand if you'd like to mail all your cards at once.

Here's mine - I was just going to go with a boat or something like that, but I hope that bubbles floating away on a summer breeze will be OK . HYCCT1402 Floating Away

Hope Floats is one of my all time absolute favorite movies! Can't wait to play when the boy takes a nap! I'll have to see what I can come up with...thanks for a fun challenge for a great cause!
I decided on feathers for my card =) You can't see any of the sparkle in the photo but I used Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays on the background and it is all sparkly.
What a great challenge! I went to my trusty Fishing Riley stamp- and added some shiny fish- Riley has no idea he's about to land a fish!
Added some matting, and texture with some stitches and rough twine. Here's A Good Day

Hi Rebecca! Fun challenge!!! I have two for you.....I wasn't sure if I needed something with more inspiration then "happy birthday" so I created a second with a message of hope!
