This is for Brenda's VSN Challenge to be inspired by the lyrics of the songs "Audition: The Fools Who Dream".
I was thinking about my love of card making and what I do with those cards, when I looked over the lyrics. It was VSN after all. Here's what touched me:
"Here's to the hearts that ache, Here's to the mess we make"
As a volunteer with Chemo Angels, I make cards for cancer patients to help them through their time of treatments. I do so in memory of my mother who lost her battle. My heart aches for missing my mom and for those dealing with this awful disease. Oh, the mess I make in the process of making those cards!!
I had to make a quick card to get it in the mail. It's a smaller notecard size - purchased from SU! - pre-cut & folded. It's so nice to have a few of those "ready to go" smaller notecards handy. I put on a layer of paper, stamped a verse & die-cut it, cut out some hearts, glued it all and done! The fastest VSN card I've made so far. Even so, I sure made a mess; I was more concerned about getting it done & mailed off. TFL

Diane, this is beautiful! I love that dp!!!! I don't like to think of us crafters making a 'mess' but rather that we are just unorganized clutterers! However, making the 'mess' is sometimes the funnest (is that even a word?) part of making a card! Whomever receives this one will surely receive a blessing! I love it!

Oh wow, Diane, this is SO tender! Truth. What a great card, and a special story. I'm a breast cancer survivor, and this brought tears to my eyes... Wow.
