It’s been a whirlwind week of creating for me.  I decided to try to create a card for each of the 33 Splitcoaststampers.com Hope You Can Cling To challenges.  At the time I decided to try this, I had only completed 12 of them.   But I managed to get them all done and uploaded before the challenge deadline today.  I’ll be honest – some of them are not really my best work.  I mean, they’re not so cruddy that I wouldn’t send them to any of my friends or family.  And I know the people at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas will appreciate them.  But all 33 cards aren’t likely to appear here.  I’ve already shared a few of them, and you’ll be seeing more throughout the month of November.

Today’s card is one I created for the challenge to use purple, in honor of cancer survivors.  I paired it with this week’s CAS challenge, which was to follow the layout of one of Taylor‘s cards.  I pulled out a stamp set that hasn’t seen much love lately and paired it with some Prima blossoms and half pearls.
