Hope That You Can Cling To

 

It's almost October, and that means all month long the Hope you Can Cling To challenge is gong on at Splitcoast Stampers. You should join in on the fun for a great cause, here are the deets....

 Splitcoaststampers is proud to partner with the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center for our third annual Hope You Can Cling To card drive to benefit those affected by breast cancer.

Whether your stamps cling to acrylic, wood, or to your hard drive, they hold the power to convey hope and lift the spirits of anyone who sees what you create with them. That is the inspiration for our "Hope You Can Cling To" stamping campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

We are extremely grateful to our sponsors for this event, and we encourage you to visit them here and thank them for their support of this fantastic cause.

To thank you for stamping with us we have fantastic prizes provided by our partners that you can read more about here in the coming days.

We have three challenges for you today - at 8 AM CST, noon and 3 PM - in our Hope You Can Cling To Challenge Forum and there will be a new challenge each day. What better way to spend World Card Making Day than to stamp a card for hope? We look forward to stamping with you!

Be sure to check my blog daily for my cards

CAS Christmas

 

This is a card I created with some Memory Box dies that I purchased from a LSS, The Scrap N  Place. 

Terri has lots of them in stock and even more on order.

With this die you are actually supposed to poke out all the swirls and it makes it a more intricate tree but, I liked the way it looked so I just left them in place.

Bold Thanks

 

A quick card to share with you. I made this one for the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.

I used the Grunge Borders set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps
