Made for the HYCCT1408 hero challenge. I made this one in memory of my mom who was/is one of my hero's. She was my best friend growing up and was always there for me. She fought her breast cancer as hard as she could to make sure she lived long enough to see me married and for several months afterwards because she said "she didn't want me to always be sad on my wedding anniversary if she died just before or just after". When she finally lost her battle, I lost a part of me as well that has always remained empty. Only during my crafting, and stamping, do I feel some return of feeling to that emptiness because my mom is the one who first taught me to craft, scrapbook, and color. My SCS friends helped me refine the skills my mom taught me.

Bonnie, I was moved by the lovely story of your Mom - what a blessing to grow up with that kind of support and devotion, and this is a beautiful tribute to her. I'm glad that crafting helps you to feel close to her. You really put your heart into this card, the sentiment is very encouraging and the clean simplicity of the bg, makes the image have even more impact. Thanks for sharing your card and your hero story in this challenge.
