Destination Station is for Shari. She was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer and is undergoing her treatments at this time. My little sister is a survivor, so this is very near and dear to my heart!
Won't you join us and make a cheery cherry card for Shari?

Beautiful CAS card. The cherries are strinking against the black and white bg and adding the pink breast cancer ribbon is such a nice idea. I know what you mean about that subject being near and dear to your heart. Recently a couple of my close friends and my Aunt have had to battle this horrible disease. I like your cute little poem about Feb. being national cherry month too.

Ah, Celisa....what a touching card. I love your lil gem cherries and that ribbon too. Love how your wee dots added to the scallops play so well with your striped bg. Lovely card, and heart....hugs.

Celisa, I LOVE this! Fabulous CAS design from the scalloped circles to the perfect bling. The cherry on top, though, is the breast cancer awareness ribbon! Awesome card!

Beautiful card Celisa. Love the cherries and soft pink ribbon, a reminder that we need to do our self exam regularly. Love the rich colors my friend. TFS and Shari will be so moved by your kindness.

Your idea to use the beast cancer ribbon for your cherry blossom flower is so clever, Celisa! I like the three scalloped circles on top. Dainty and pretty! I'm glad to read that your sister is a survivor!
Now, come on over to the cherry tree where the cherry juice is flowin' freely and Miss Bertie wants to see how far you can spit a pit!

How very appropriate for Shari.....I am tickled to hear your sis is a survivor...Shari will be too...she just has to get there by doing everything that is not so pleasant right now! Oh, and I can so see the teapot in this card! Its awesome!
Thanks so much for sending this card to her....I am touched and I know she will be too. Its wonderful, cheery and special. Thanks from the bottom of my heart!
