Get Well Soon my dear friend....

Hello all,
I am here with a quick post.  I needed a card for my dear friend who is having surgery today.  I met her during my husband's physical therapy sessions during his battle with brain cancer. She is a dear friend and sweet woman and we became friends when she saw me reading a "CARDS" magazine while waiting for my husband at the PT's office one day.  We both love to craft (she is an S.U. demonstrator) and we hit it off right away as you can imagine.

Here is the card I made for her this weekend:

I was inspired by this post from Kristi Lockart Designs:  HERE.  She created this card when she was a guest designer for the Festive Friday Challenge - Candy Cane Theme.

The paper I chose to use is a new digital set called "Shabby Wood Backgrounds" from Iralamija Shop on ETSY.  It was designed by Beatriz Jennings and it is my current FAVORITE digital paper pack!!!!  So fun!

I send tons of "Get Well" wishes and prayers to my dear friend Kara and a big thank you to Kristi and Beatriz for their inspiration and products that I used in making this card!  Don't you just LOVE snow people!!!!  They are so fun to make and always bring a smile to my face.  How about you - are you smiling?  I hope so!
Bye for now!

A little snowman love...FMS62

Yesterday evening I went through a container of Holiday papers and picked out an adorable snowman paper to make a card with.  I saw this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #62 and decided to play along...I ended up flipping the location of the shape to the left hand side and moving the sentiment down to make the card work with the paper I chose...I was trying not to completely cover up the adorable little snowmen.

Here is my card:

 I used a icicle border die to add borders to my piece of pattern paper and "iced" them up with some stickles diamond glitter glue.  I then made another border piece to layer over the diamond pattern paper to place my sentiment and embellishments on. 

 The die cut embellishments are a pine frond also edged in stickles and a snowflake from the new Taylored Expressions snowflake dies with a small gem added to the center.  The sentiment is from a Waltzing Mouse Stamp set called "Very Vintage Christmas".  The snowman paper is at least 1 or 2 or more years old and is from "Best Creations Inc" and is called Winter Wonderful Item#GP441.  www.bestcreation.us


Thanks for taking a look at my card.
