This is a card that a good friend and neighbor asked me to make for her granddaughter who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. It took me four days to finally finish this card. I think the best thing about this card is the fact I brought it to the elderly women with some fresh strawberries. We had a nice visit. Sometimes people just need a hug and someone to listen to them. I computer generated what I wanted to say, and embossed a frame around it. I punched the edge and added the ribbon. I used a die for the butterfly. tfl

Linda, your work here is truly touching, and straight from the heart. Surely Amanda and her mom will be moved at this beautiful card. Bless your heart.

Your card is wonderful so encouraging. As a recent breast cancer survivor myself I know it will be very uplifting to her. It is very hard to make these cards but so necessary. You have choosen a great title for the card also. Your cards are always exquisite but this one exceptionally so. TFS.....

Linda, I just saw your card this morning. Not only is the card beautiful, your computer generated prayer and write up on this piece make it a winner in my heart. To create something from the heart to give to another is a gift of your God given time and talent. We all need the physical touch and presence of another when we walk through valleys. Well done, good and faithful servant.
