My card for today is one which was inspired by this one by Cynthia on the Create with TLC blog,I haven't been able to access her blog, but if she sees this thank you.
I wanted a card for one of my dear brothers, number 2 of 4, who has been diagnosed with motor neurone, I'm afraid he is on a short lease and I send him a card as close to every week as I can, he lives a few hundred miles away so getting to see him is not often I'm afraid. We can't communicate much anymore as he has lost his speech. Anyhow thanks to Cynthia, I came up with this card after having the sentiment from Paulette at Create with TLC blog. I hope it lifted him as much as I wanted it too.
I shall enter the following challenge with it.

http://www.throughthepurplehazechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/simply-sassy-inspires-by-songbookfilm.html Come fly with me, by Frank Sinatra, but not all the song just part of the chorus -
Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so very near
You may even hear a whole gang cheer 'cause we're together
