Always

 

Time Out Challenge #224 begins today. This time we have a Theme Challenge of cancer awareness. I can't think of a person whose life hasn't been touched by some kind of cancer in some way,  whether we ourselves have fought or are fighting the fight, or whether is has impacted our loved ones, colleagues, etc. 


We are generously sponsored by CAS-ual Fridays. Owner Michelle Gross has sponsored this challenge at Time Out for several years. The cause is near and dear to her heart as it is to so many of us. Even though her store is officially closed, she prepared a prize especially for our challenge before she sold out her inventory. Thank you Michelle! We wish you every good thing.

In addition, we dedicate this one to Shery Russ, owner of STAMPlorations who has been so generous to us through the years. Shery is fighting her own battle right now. We send her love, hugs, support, strength and prayers as she continues on her journey. Her story is quite remarkable. You can read about her journey HERE.

With that said, someone very dear to me is on a journey through a very serious form of cancer. She is a survivor of breast cancer as am I, but this is something unrelated. It is so hard to wrap my head around the fact that she is going through this. So I made my card with her in mind. I so love this image from impression Obsession, and the sentiment from CASual Fridays goes perfectly, and together they speak volumes.

Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog to see the wonderful creations that the Design Team came up with to inspire you. Come play with us!
