I learned about a group called Albums of Hope because of my association with Creative Memories.  The slogan "lifting spirits during difficult times" summarizes their mission, but they do it by designing small scrapbooks that include uplifting messages.  The albums are then distributed to those undergoing challenges, such as cancer, in Ronald McDonald Houses or a Relay for Life event  Although I have made a monetary donation to the group, I wanted to do something else.  I decided that I would design pages that could be used in those albums or downloaded to make a personal book of hope.  So, here's my first submission:

Today
