Challenge Title: You've Got This
Hostess: Simplybeautiful (Ceal Pritchett)
Keyword: HYCCT1530SURVIVOR
Date: October 30th, 2015
I love this time of year, I have played along in the HYCCT challenges since 2011 but this is the first year I have hosted a challenge. I would like to say a big thanks to all my sample makers.
As a survivor, I'll never forget the day I was told I had cancer. It is the most devastating news to hear and you can almost feel the blood drain out of your body. I lost my Mom to breast cancer when I was only 21, but with all the technology today when you hear the "C" word it doesn't mean death anymore, it means fight for your life. It's a hard battle but it can be won if found in time, so get those mammograms. My challenge is to make a card of encouragement letting them know it's going to be okay.

So glad you're a survivor Ceal and sorry for your loss. To lose a mom at any age is awful, but I'm sure even harder when you're so young yourself. Hugs today!
I'm so glad you beat breast cancer Ceal; that must have been scary. It's great that you are helping out with this cause. Your experience with losing your mom and being a survivor will touch many.
Thank you so much Ceal for doing these challenges!!! I found the sentiment I wanted to use for my card but had to draw my image because I did not have the stamp I wanted for the image. This was sure a great challenge. Hugs!!!
Ceal- thank you for reminding us how important encouragement is! I went with a Stampabilities' Snoopy image, and added my own sentiment. Lots of polka dots and happy colors! Here's HYCCT1530SURVIVOR Snoopy Hug
