Get Well...Hope you'll soon be fully RECOVERED

I'm revisiting and recreating this darling Art Impressions stamp U2394. ( I can no longer find it at the store so I think it is now retired.) My youngest Millennium son didn't get the pun.  In all fairness, you don't see many people recovering furniture this day and age.  This has become a throw away society.  I'll be sure to send this "get well" card to an older person.

The camera shots aren't that great.  There was a tropical storm going on and I was doing my best to take the photos outside....LOL

A2 size, copic inks, made RX in Silhouette Studio, pop-up dots

Get Well..... (3D)

....another card for Faith even though I didn't use a From the Heart Stamp image.  I know, you think I should just stick with her images?  I thought a little change would be nice.  Hummm

I'm entering this card in the QKR Stampede Challenge #207.  Recipe: image, 2 designer papers and 3 embellishments.  I used digi 604 Love Notes (I masked the writing) and also Get Well Mouse wording from Dearie Dolls. The same recipe at Creative Background Challenge #8: 1,2,3

This card took a little longer not knowing where I was going when I started.  Now that I know, I can whip out 3 more cards within an hour.  I will wait on the sentiment since I think ANYTHING would work on the inside for the wording...miss you, see you soon, Happy Birthday, etc.

A2, outside, Elizabeth Craft "you", Sue Wilson leaves die, old flower punches, 3 enamel dots, liquid pearls

Inside, vase punch, flower and fern leaf punches, copics for mouse (hand-colored), cut with Cameo, 2 designer papers, wink of Stella on pencil and buttons

Just different angle

"Wee Note" for Faith

I made the first card for Faith, the awesome creator behind From The Heart Stamps.  I fell in love with her sweet and quirky stamps about a year ago. (I used Hamlet PigWit Being Shy.) Faith has taken quite ill and at this writing could very well still be in the hospital.

Of course, you know I had to make 3 more cards if I was going to make at least one...each being a tad different.  I haven't mastered watercolor, even though I'm ok with watercolor pencils. Anyhow, the Cut It Up Challenge #104 is to use some watercolor and a die.  I did two backgrounds in watercolor just to say I tried...haha.  I used Lil' Inker Stitched Circle dies for the frames.

Happy Labor Day to all my friends out there in cyber-world....safe time and safe travels!

A2, metal music note charm, string, made background paper using the Old MacDonald's song, small cloud Fiskar punch

Medication Label Warning!

The expression you can't get "blood out of a turnip" applies to me too.  Nurses just can't get blood out of me.  It too nurse No. 3 to get the blood...my poor hands and arm!  Anyhooo, "Doctor Appreciation" week is coming up soon (at least that is what I read in the Waiting Room.)  So, I made this card for Dr. Ezealah, who is trying to find what's wrong with me.  I left the office with a little less money in my wallet and a little less blood.

I bought this Art Impression Stamp Set from my local Michaels.  There is no title on the set. She was originally hold a glass of wine but I masked it and she's now holding a medicine bottle that I scanned from Lawn Fawn called Get Well.

A2, copics for coloring and lines on chair, stamped the pill bottle for background paper

more...Get Well

I printed out about 5 of these images but changed up some of the shirts by using PSE using fun patterns.  I don't think I can have too many "Get Well" cards on hand, but I do need more "manly" get well cards.

This is my 2nd entry into the QKR Challenge #128: Circles.  Image: digi 8507  I used Stitched Party Banner set by Lawn Fawn and Flag Banner from Lil' Inker.

A2, twine, black brads and black homemade enamel dot, circles around image and black circle done in Silhouette Studio

Sneezie - wheezie - queezie

Yup, a lot of that going around!  I'm into bears this week.  Do you find yourself into animals one week, flowers another, etc?

This is my fist QKR Stampede Challenge.  I bought about 7 images after being inspired by so many friends working with these images lately.  Of course, this is the last day of the Challenge #126...add lovely lace!

I used #8507, but I masked the flowers in his/her hand and put a box of tissue.  I saw this in their gallery of cards.  I just had to do my best to case it.  I left the bow off her head before the pic...oh well.

A2, copics, lace, stitching, :i; Inker flag, eyelet, real tissue, white highlighter

Big hug waiting for you

My brother is gravely ill so I'm on a mission to send at least 2 cards a week.  I need to make more manly cards.  I never have one when I need it.

I totally cased Sue Kemet.  Her card was perfect in every way for what I wanted for my brother.  If you follow me, then you know this isn't the first time I have cased her...haha  I have several other friends I will be casing this weekend.  When you are in a hurry, casing a lovely, perfect card really saves time.  I think casing is respectful and tells/shows a person how talented they are by someone wanting to case.  And, I like to acknowledge their talent on my blog.

I used Ai Bear Hugs Set and birch tree die set from Impression Obsession, and Bear Hug Waiting sentiment from TLC  And YUP.... an action wobble  I cut everything out with my Cameo.

A2 vertical, grass die, stitching, copics for coloring.  My brother graduated from the Citadel so that is why I chose blue pants and bow tie...haha

From the Heart Weekly challenge

Yup, waiting till the last day again.  I'm still so busy.  Walking and exercising takes up so much time...haha

From the Heart Challenge #93 with a twist (birthday) is only hours away from closing.  I love the sketch to follow.  With the cool sketch and great image, nothing else really needs to be added...well, that's what I think anyway...lol  I'm using Sick Chick.

Get Well Soon... (2nd posting today)

While making "get well" cards for men, I thought I would do some for my lady friends. Dearie Dolls Digital Images is an awesome place to get some amazing free images...black/white and pre-colored.  I love Ellen's work.  She even writes poetry. This image is called Dearie Dolls Mousy Nurse (colored).

Joan's Garden challenge calls for pink/white, a heart and pretty border.  I adorned the border with stitching, a RX svg I created, and a plastic medicine bottle embellishment.  If you want the RX svg, please write me (don't ask in comment section because it will not give me your email address).

You Moose Go Fishin' when you feel better

        Our good friend Harry just had surgery.  He and his wife live near the beach.  He loves to fish when he can find the time.  He taught me the love of fishing and the art of shrimping...Folks, it's not easy....just go buy the shrimp off the trawler when it comes in...heads on and heads off.  There's also the art of poppin' heads off without being pronged.  His wife Carola is quick and speedy in this process.  If there was a contest, I think she could win.

        Anyhoooo.... we wish Harry a speedy recovery and can't wait till the weather warms up as well so we can all go fishing.

Meljen Design...my personal comment to Harry
