Thinking of you


All 4 of my kids were sick last week, so I didn't accomplish much other than keeping them hydrated, vapor-ized, and well supplied with tissues and cough drops!   On the weekend, I did get a few hours in my craft room and made up some cards with images I had printed a long time awhile ago.  

Here is a note card.  I was inspired by and CASEd this card I saw on Pinterest.  Unfortunately, I didn't check when I first re-pinned it, and it does not go directly to the actual post of the original card. :/  But if you want to try to find it, have fun!  :)  



Challenges...
Perfect Sentiment PSC73 - sympathy/thinking of you
Paper Pretties  PWC252 - April showers bring May flowers
Clear It Out - Spring is Coming (use flowers)
Word Art Wednesday #74 - anything goes (Scripture or uplifting sentiment)
Playing in Paradise #111 - embossing **Can you hear the angels singing "Hallelujah!"?  Embossing is the most wonderful technique ever!!!!   My Cuttlebug will be buried with me!**

Supplies...
~pre-colored image from Doodle Pantry Poppies
~MME Dolled Up DP
~TPC Studios sentiment
~Perfect Paisley embossing folder
~Offray ribbon

Thanks for stopping by!!  Now go emboss something!!!  :)

Bahaha - I always say you can pry my craft stuff from my cold dead hands, lol. That definitely includes my super-trusty Cuttlebug! You always rock embossing, Debbie :)
So sorry to hear all 4 kidlets had the ick. I'm glad they're all on the mend & that you seem to have escaped it this go round!
