Hope You Can Cling To - 2015

Yesterday was the start up day for Splitcoaststampers' annual Hope You Can Cling To event in support of breast cancer awareness month. All cards created for this wonderful event go to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas for use by their patients and their families. I love taking part in this event each year and hope to complete a card for each of their challenge throughout the month of October.

The card I have created today is for the collage of hope challenge, and I am also entering it in the Mod Squad Anything With Wings Challenge this week.

Kitchen Sink has so many wonderful masculine images: the boots, the cowboy hat, the pocket watch, the lighthouse, the baseball glove and bat, but I have reached for the classic old truck for my Father's Day design today.
