Challenge Title: Heart Song
Hostess: Susie Lessard (Paperpunchscissors)
Keyword: HYCCT1413
Date: Monday, October 13th, 2014
Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyway.
~ Emory Austin
Use music, birds, hearts, words of encouragement on your card. You may use any medium/technique on your card.
I'm happy to participate in the 5th annual HYCCT challenge this year. My card is dedicated to a dear friend whom I've known for many years. Rosalee was diagnosed this summer with breast cancer and just received her last round of chemo (which has made her extremely ill). I hope my card to her, and those I've sent to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, will be a bright spot in a difficult day. Your participation this year is so appreciated. Time and talent given freely to lift someone's spirit. I hope you'll enjoy this challenge. I'm looking forward to each and every heartfelt creation.

Thank you for participating in this card drive! And a big thank you to Dina, Angie, and Lydia who created samples for my challenge. Let's sing it like we mean it today!
hi as soon as I saw this I knew the stamp I wanted to use as my main sentiment, listening to music while making cards is also good
thank you for a lovely challenge here is mine
Susie you are such a dear...you always speak from the heart and I can tell that from your theme for this HYCCT challenge. BTW-loved reading your bio and the cute pictures..especially of you and your grandbaby.
dang it -- don't you hate it when you made the perfect card for a challenge but you already used it for ANOTHER challenge??? Grrrrr!! Back to the drawing board ;)
Blessings to each of you this cheery, rainy, Monday!
My challenge gallery has a happy melody of heartfelt encouragement already! Even with the rain all around it doesn't stop the melodies in our hearts. Your sweet offerings (that's what I like to call cards like yours) have brightened the day already. But... for some, it's difficult to sing today. Their lives have been changed by the terrible disease of breast cancer - their songs a slight whisper.
Let's lift up those who need help singing that heart song today!
Thank you all so much for playing in this annual challenge. 1,000 cards have been made already. Now that's a big choir!
Oh Susie I LOVED today's challenge! Here's my Just a Note!

I am confident that you'll create another card just as lovely as the other one, Vicki. Can't wait to see it!
Brenda, I saw your card but you need to go back and edit the keyword so it shows up in my challenge gallery. You have HYCCT1412 in the keyword field on your card instead of HYCCT1413. Love the card, my friend.

My mom has been on my heart and mind so much during this month of challenges as her breast cancer journey continues. This one will go to her since it is a Scripture based card. My Strength and My Song Inside of Strength and Song

Susie, I really enjoyed this challenge. I am going to sub one of my own cards into my HYCCT box though as i had so much heart going into this card for my young friend that was diagnosed recently with terminal brain cancer. She is losing ground quickly from two months ago. Thank you for helping me make this.

Mine is a little late, as usual. Just about the time I think I can catch up, I hit another snag. But at least I'm getting a little bit accomplished every day. I love this quote and think it fits the theme of this challenge perfectly.
