Get Well Soon

Not much crafting going on in the craft room :(

However, I did make a 'Get Well' card for one of members in my camera club.  He had been in a terrible car accident, but was definitely on the road to recovery!

His presence is missed at the club, but we hope to see him back real soon!

Image is from Meljens Designs, a digital freebie I have had for ages, cardstock is from Blue Edge Crafts and I have used foil, with double-sided tape for the stripes (also from Blue Edge Crafts).


Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.
Remember, any day doing something you love makes it a good day ;-)

Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.

Cards for friends

A very dear friend was in hospital for a while and I wanted to send him a get well card.

I was struggling to find a good get well card that was not too 'girly' and when sorting through some cards I had made in the past, I came across a heap of cards that had started to fall apart.

The double-sided tape I had used, had lost all of it's 'stick'.  On going through a few of my boxes of cards, I found an awful lot of cards that will need to be remade ;-(

There is a silver lining to this cloud - I got to change a few previously made cards and make them suitable for a new purpose.

It ended up being quite theraputic making up these cards again and putting some new finishing touches.

A card for his wife's birthday.

I am so pleased he will be home to help his wife celebrate her birthday.

Shout Out to SheetLoad

It's time for the monthly "Shout Out" Challenge.

The May_Issue of SheetLoad is now available. This is a monthly e-zine that has loads of ideas and is very infomative. Pop on over and check it out. I am working on my May cards and am hoping to post them very soon.

I was recently picked as the April Fan and won some spellbinder dies. I was actually looking at purchasing these dies, so it couldn't have been a more perfect prize and they were sent so quickly as well! ;-)

Here is a card I made using one of the dies.

SU Delight in Life flower was stamped four times - 3 coloured in pinks/purples, 1 coloured in green and highlighted with chalks and kindy glitz. White background was embossed with cuttlebug, spellbinders tag embellished with rub-on sentiment, highlighted with bling and threaded on ribbon. Background was layered on Bravo Burgandy (I think??)
