Musical Card Challenge - week 4
 

Ladies, we did it again. We put smiles into the heart of our dear friend lisha_1988's Nana Lorraine. Thank you to those of you that helped give her those smiles. If you haven't had a chance to send Nana Lorraine her card, please pm me for her address.

Woooo Hoooo it's Saturday, which means it's time for a new song. Is everybody ready? Here we go:

The song for this weeks challenge is: A Hero Lies In You by: Mariah Carey Listen to itHERE

Here are some of the lyrics:

There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you


If you are new to the Muscical Challenge, here's how it works: Every Saturday I find someone that deserves to be honored or maybe needs their spirits lifted. I then choose a song that I feel portrays this person.
The challenge is for you to make a card inspired by the chosen song.
I will ask you to consider sending your inspired creation to the person chosen. However, if you would rather not; you do not have to. That is totally up to you.


This weeks song "A Hero Lies In You" was chosen to help a little boy celebrate his 7th birthday. His name is Benjamin

Benjamin was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia pre-B cell also possitive for Philadelphia Chromosone. Benjamin is going to be celebrating his 7th birthday on December 11. I felt this young hero just can't celebrate it without us SCSrs right? So please check out Benjamin's story here. Please note there are several updates to this little boy's story. I had a hard time with this one. I kept thinking of sad songs. Until someone shared with me that Benjamin plans on getting better. He plans on walking again. He plans on beating this. Well, as sad as I still am to hear that this little boy is going through all of this, I sat back and thought about it. And after reading his story...omg..He is an upbeat kid. He is a HERO in my book. I am sure the rest of you will agree. So ladies, let's make Benjamin's 7th birthday a Hero's birthday. I know this little guy is going to love it. Oh did I mention, he likes Batman?

Thank you so much for joining this week's challenge and for making Benjamin's birthday a great one.

I'm going to need to get started on this first thing in the morning. I have a couple of ideas but not many supplies in the way of "boy" things.

I was going to make him a batman card. Then I read he likes batman! I made my six year old a batman card for his birthday it was his favorite present. Hope a batman card will bring a smile to this little one also :)

Ladies, this is a message from Benjamins mom:

That is very sweet that you have other folks making cards- it warms my heart! To answer the question, Benjamin DOES have a DS and he gets lots of use from it. Please extend my appreciation to all those making cards!

Sincerely,
for some reason I can't copy her name ...

Wonderful choice of song for this brave little boy! Here's mine:

Super Moose!

Thanks:D

I still have time to get a card made for Benjamin, so off I go to get one done and out to this brave little boy.

I didn't get this done in time for the challenge, but I'm still going to mail Benjamin a birthday card. It's on my to-do list for early next week!

Hi Dani, I didn't get mine done for this weeks challenge either but am planning on doing one still....

I'm sorry about the quality of this photo, but the camera wanted to focus on the sentiment. This will be off to Benjamin on Monday, hopefully in time for his 7th birthday
