get better soon!

Hello! Happy Tuesday.

This latest card of mine is a get well card. I didn't realize it, but this is actually the first get well card I have posted. I guess I don't know too many people who are ill, which is a blessing I guess.

To create this card, I have used this sketch from Sketch and Stash Challenge 29.

And I am using this card as my entry into a couple more challenges:

Stamp With Fun Challenge 47 - Stitch

CraftyCatz Weekly Challenge 20 - Charming

Bears
Pile It On Challenge #7 - Get Well Soon

Creative Card Crew Challenge 45 - Get Well Soon

This is a joy fold card--only the second one that I've done. Hmmm.....I should do more of these.

The two stamp images I have used here are from the In2stamps Get Well collection--available from the In2stamps on-line store. You can also find links to other retail stores there. The 2 images here are called Getting Spoiled and Mommy's Caring.

Enjoy your day. And thank you so much for visiting.

DP's: from Provo Craft River Rock collection scrap pads, Hot Off the Press Paper Pizazz Joy's vintage papers.
Tools: Marvy Uchida scallop oval punch.

Happy weekend!

A new challenge for Magnolia Down Under Challenge!

It is our Challenge #26 and the challenge is the following sketch from Shell Barnard:

And this is sponsored by Kellie herself. She is offering a $10 Gift Voucher to spend in her very own newly-opened Magnolia Only store. That's Aussie dollars, guys--go for it!!! And you have 2 weeks to create something.

The sketch wasn't really meant for it, hee hee, but I used it to make a joy fold card--artistic licence!! I had the hardest time trying to finish this card. I kept fiddling with it even after I thought I was finished. It just wasn't looking right... But I think I'm done playing with it now.

I also made this card for Stamp With Fun. Their Challenge #31 is to make a card with a scene. I have created two scenes here. The stamps for the background sceneries, Alota Side Wall with Window and the Magnolia Brick Wall, I purchased from Diana's store Magnolia-licious.

For Week 7 at Basic Grey Challenges, it is a photo-inspiration challenge. The picture is over to the right, here.
It was so obvious to me what Basic Grey DP I was going to use. Any guesses, LOL?

It's a "Bring out your bling" challenge at All Sorts Challenge--they want to see lots of sparkles. I didn't use any rhinestone, but I have lots of sparkles on the card. The ribbon on the front of the card is a sparkly red and gold ribbon. I've put glitters on the angel wings of both Tilda and Edwin. And also on the the white-fur trims of all the hats for Tilda, the critter and the pooch.

Hmm... not sure if you can see that in the pictures. You might have to blow the pictures up to really see.

The final challenge is from Roses on Paper. Their Challenge # 24 is for a Christmas card.

I've put a blank space on the left panel for personal messages to be written on.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. And for those of you who leave me a comment, a double thank you. I really do appreciate it. Enjoy your weekend!
