Get well soon.

There has been such a wonderful weather lately, but we also have had few friends that had family or friends passing and that has been hard to see. We have few people that are ill, so I took a break from Sympathy card and made a Get Well card.

It is hard to be ill, but it sure helps to receive a handmade card. I prepare today's card using The Paper Players 341 as my inspiration.  I have some lovely Pretty Petals DSP stashed away and I used that as my background. For the image, I used Touches of Texture and Penned & Painted stamp sets. Both of them are just very lovely and I am sad to see the Penned & Painted being retired. I love this set and will keep it for my personal use.  The little flowers in Daffodil Delight were colored using the Watercolor Pencils and the leaves were colored in Old Olive also using the Watercolor pencils. The sentiment is from Thoughts & Prayers stamp set. I covered part of the sentiment so I could get only the get well soon part of it. A simple card sure to bring a cheer to anyone feeling a bit down.

Thank you for visiting today. Hope to see you soon. Be well

Swirly and Ribbons.

Hello my dear friends and readers. I am so glad to be able to find a bit of time to craft, but now that we had some beautiful days, we have spend a bit of time outside enjoying the sun and the very mild temperatures. Yesterday, I was too excited and no longer able to wait. I put my seeds on potting soil. I am hoping that the season will continue mild and the spring will be here soon. I do not plan, of course, on transplanting my seedling too soon.

This card is prepared for the DSC 218, and ribbons are a favorite of mine - sure you know that - and since we have good weather, I wanted color, lots of it. I also have needs for several Get Well cards so I made this a Thinking of you/Get Well card. I think it will bring a bit of cheer. I used the Swirly Bird bundle for the flowers and leaves and I layered the flowers for a bit of 3D. Sentiment, from the Rose Wonder, was placed on a Layering Circles, which is such delicate details for a layer. Then, the ribbon, oh so pretty and soft. I love this ribbon and the bow is always perfect. I add texture from the Fancy Fan TIEF on the Crumb Cake layer and love all those textures together.

Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you will visit again. Be well

Miriam

Spring the stash.

Well, what a round of crazy weather we had today. Woke up for a below freezing temperature, then it warmed up, rained, got super windy, and now are have icy roads. Not ideal driving conditions and I even missed a meeting on Tuesday night as I did not want to risk driving on a wet road with the temperatures dropping so quickly. We are supposed to get more rain, then snow, then a bit more warmth.

With all that weather madness, the birds and me are ready for some warm weather for real and for spring. I am already planning my garden and hope to get some seeds started soon and hopefully we will have a very bountiful year. Of course, it all got me thinking colors and flowers and beauty. The sketch from the Mojo Monday 479 is simple and yet complex, and allowed me to incorporate flowers and colors. I got my stashes out and used the Pretty Petals DSP, and it is so Spring looking I could not pass on it. The back Very Vanilla layer was textured using Elegant Dots TIEF and the sentiment is form a long ago retired set. The Ribbon in Mint Maccaroon is soft and elegant and gives a nice double loop bow. Now, Spring is ready to spring. We are ready for you Spring!

Friends. Best thing ever.

Friends came in some many shades of colors that add so much to our lives. I have some dear friends, like all of you, that means so much to me. Then there are those that no matter what will forever be a friend. And then there are many of you that have married your best friend, and that is even better. To develop a life long relationship is an balancing act. And only when we can fully accept the other we will form a true and forever friendship.

I made this card today more leaning towards an anniversary / wedding card. I think it is a perfect card for that occasion, but I can see it myself giving it to a best friend. The sketch is from the PPA 314 and it was a fantastic inspiration for me. I used the new Falling Flowers for the image, which was stamped twice in opposite sides. The center panel covered part of the stamp rather well and I made sure to do my best to center the image. The sentiment is from the First Sight stamp set, and it was cut using the Lots of Labels framelits. I used a strip of paper to stamp, and then centered it on the framelit obtaining  a rounded edge. I add a bit of the Tip Top Taupe ribbon because it is just too beautiful and kept to the color scheme of the card. A striking card with very little supplies and that can be put together in little time.

Thank you for your visit today. Hope to see you again soon. Be well
