CTS #32 and Good News

Hello everyone! I'll begin with the good news... For those who are new to my blog, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2011. I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the Craft community that I received during that time which helped me no end!  I had an operation and underwent chemotherapy and 35 radio therapy treatments.
I went for my second yearly check-up this morning (mammography, ecoscopy, lungs, abdomen, kidneys, pancreas, blood etc...) and the doctor said RAS - which means in French, Rien A Signaler, which means in English - that I received a clean report! I cannot tell you how thankful and relieved I was. I said to my DH afterwards how God is such a loving Father for His children, we can really trust Him with our lives because He has a Plan, we are not left to chance - it gives such security!

I found an inspiring photo on Pinterest and a great sketch which just fitted together, to join in with this challenge, which can be found here. Its a CAS design.

This is the photo and sketch inspiration:


and these are the cards I made. I thought the flowers looked so much like the flower stamp in the 'Remember' set of Stamp your Story release by Hero Arts.





Used distress markers.
