Oh, what a fun color combination this week, Barbara! And your description goes with my surfing vibe. I asked my DH for a suitable surf term as a title. He thought 'just paddle back out' would convey our thoughts to a young friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer.
Visual Image's Just Hit Play was perfect for a light hearted card. And Basic Grey's long retired 'Obscure' paper has all the colors of this weeks' challenge.
Life really, truly doesn't have a pause, rewind, or forward button. So we must just hit the play button...we'll paddle back out there, we'll find the way through.
I've been pondering the making for awhile now. Knowing what to say beyond I am thinking of you is never easy when it's cancer, suicide, or fill in the blank. For me, I can only pray.
Thanks for stopping by and just paddle back out...someone is waiting for you.
My dessert was the Visible Images the sentiment and the tangled cassette tape.

Your card has beautiful imagery and a very powerful message, no matter what the reason for sending it. I'm so sorry your young friend has cancer, I hope your encouragement makes his journey a bit more bearable. Love your graphic, imaginative card!

We definitely all need to remember this sentiment - so many of us try that rewind or mourn the fact that there is not one like we can change that or something (myself included). LOVE this card, Susan. Fun and creative.

Your cards are always so thoughtful and thought provoking! Lessons to learn in everyone of them. Love the details in this beauty! Is your friend old enough to know what cassette tape is? :-)
