HYCCT1413 - Heart Song Chat Thread

[PaperPunchScissors]

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.

So use all elements on a card (birds, music, etc.) Not pick one? I am a little confused!

[jeenny2010]

You may use as many elements that I listed as you like (in keeping with the theme of my challenge). I can't wait to see what you'll chose to create.

[vdoyle8]

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 ;)

[PaperPunchScissors]

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!

((Big hugs))

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.

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.

[justwritedesigns]

Thanks, Susie! Here's my Christmas Poinsettia using the winter colors. Thanks so much for looking!

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.
