Howdy everyone! Welcome to the Hope You Can Cling To challenges!!! This is the best month of the year where stampers come together to create hundreds of works of art to share with the patients and their friends and family at MD Anderson.
I have a card from a sweet friend that is hanging from a display rod right above my computer monitor, and the sentiment, Thanks Bunches, inspired me to create this challenge. We all need thank you cards, and patients and their family members are no exception. My little twist on this is to have a "bunch" of something on your Thank You card. For example, you could use a stamp of a bunch of flowers tied together, adhere a bunch of sequins on your card, wrap a bunch of twine around your card, or have a bunch of leaves falling down.
Have fun creating your thank you cards! I can't wait to see what all of you come up with for your "bunches!"

HYCCT1524 Thanks So Mush
Here's mine...thank you, Holly!! I've re-printed my sentiment so that it is Thank you so "mush"!, adding punctuation, but I may not get time for another photo to replace the original.
You're all doing a great job with this challenge! Keep em coming!
We have lots of rain going on here today and we already lost power once. It's supposed to rain all day long, into the night and most of tomorrow morning. We've been in a drought for the past 3 or 4 months, and now the rain comes all at once. LOL We need the rain, so I'm happy about that, but unfortunately, it brings out all the crickets. Blegh!

When I read this challenge my first thought was to use the pretty wheelbarrow with the flowers from Stampin' Up! Then I saw that Diane had used it already, so I looked to see what else I might use. After pulling out boxes and boxes of stamps with bunches of flowers I thought about this stamp. It is one of the first stamps I ever bought. And then I thought, sometimes less is more. Thanks, Holly! Here's my card A Bunch of Thanks by casep - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Great challenge! I went with multiple dc leaves, and a flowery branch with colored leaves. Added a dc bare tree, and a rough twine wrap. Here's HYCCT1524 Halloween Greetings

Sent a package of cards from the first 18 challenges to MD Anderson on Monday, then worked 4 twelve hour night shifts in a row. Now I'm finally getting caught up on the challenges. Today got myself hunkered down in the craft room to start on the next batch of cards to mail!
Holly, really enjoyed this challenge! Had more than one image to choose from...hoping that I can craft up a couple more cards for this challenge!
