Challenge Title: Trash Cancer
Hostess: jacqueline (Jacqueline)
Keyword: HYCCT1507
Date: October 7, 2015
Welcome to Day 7 of the Hope You Can Cling To challenges! I am so excited to be hosting this year and being part of this event. I'm looking forward to seeing all your creations.
I've always been a fan of Fran Drescher - loved watching "The Nanny". Fran is a uterine cancer survivor and she began the Cancer Schmancer project using her humor and personal experience as she was misdiagnosed and mistreated by doctors for several years. She puts her "extraordinary" vocals to use as an activist for her anti-cancer group, whose mission is to end cancer mortality due to late stage diagnosis by preventing it from occurring and catching it early. The Cancer Schmancer movement empowers people to hold "Trash Cancer" Tupperware type parties in their homes where invited guests and neighbors learn how to purge environments of harmful cleaning, food, and beauty products.
I invite you to participate in my challenge by using the word T-R-A-S-H to include elements in your card that begin with each letter. It can be the stamp manufacturer, an actual product, a word, etc. If you get stuck and find it difficult to use all five letters, play along anyway using at least three. Be creative and be sure to mention each element in your description. Let's TRASH Cancer!
I cannot wait to see what you come up with. Remember that the most important part of this challenges is actually mailing your cards to MD Anderson - this challenge is such a blessing to the patients and their families, and we are incredibly grateful for your generosity throughout the month.

Thank you for participating in this card drive!
And, thanks to my sample makers for these lovelies:
Love this challenge, Jacq! Hits close to my heart, too since uterine cancer was my sister's initial diagnosis. I will be playing along, though it might be a few days!
Jacqueline, This was a very heart-warming challenge for me. When going through treatment you need love, encouragement and people to talk to. Here's my card.

What a fun challenge that was really challenging. I am traveling for the next few weeks and am limited to the supplies I brought. The turquoise paper is questionable but that is the color I am calling it for now. Here's my card:HYCCT1507 by gl1253 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
Oh, I'm so excited to see all the chatter and creative "trash"! I'm glad you tackled the challenge and THANK YOU all for participating in my challenge and HYCCT. I love going through and reading all your comments. I am at work now but can't wait to go through the gallery later when I get home.
I'm making my way through the gallery and commenting on all the lovely "trash". It was a tricky challenge but I am blown away by the creativity. I'm also amazed at all the different elements people came up with. Kudos!
