Get Well - Friends With Flair Friday

Well, it's Friday and that is a very good thing!  I am in a particularly good mood because just last night I got my copy of the March/April issue of Paper Crafts magazine in the mail and it just so happens that if you turn to page 63 you will see MY CARD!!!!!  I'm pretty darned excited, to say the least.  There may have been ridiculous amounts of squealing and jumping around going on when I opened it.  Just say'n.  This is the first time I've been published in Paper Crafts and only the second time I've been published ever and the last time was many many years ago...in a Making Memories publication (back when they were still a magazine!) called Card Making for Scrapbookers.  I am SO excited about this!  I can't even tell you!  It's crazy.  For reals.  Just say'n.

BUT...today, I have a pretty Get Well card to share with you for Friends With Flair Friday!



Get Well


I used the beautiful Encompassed Grace stamp set by Samantha Walker along with Samantha's paper collection from Creative Imaginations.  That gorgeous ribbon is a sheer from May Arts and I simply added a few vintage buttons to finish off the card.



Get Well (detail)


The Hubbums asked me to create a get well card for a friend who broke her leg recently and since I didn't have the broken bone stamps on hand that he requested (lol!) I decided to go with a pretty look.  And ever since...I've been thinking I need to find a cute set of broken bone stamps!  HA!  Of course, that might be bad because I might start wishing for someone to break something so I can use them.  Yeah....probably not a good idea.  I'll stick to pretty Get Well cards!  HA!

I hope you have a super stupendous Friday!  Come back tomorrow for the Stampendous! blog hop - we have a really cool new product to show off!  And ... come back on Sunday for a special day!

Jingle Out.

You SHOULD be excited! That card is a work of art - love the feather & the neat vintage doily piece!
I love the pretty Get Well card...although I'm intrigued by the funny kind too. I think maybe Hambo has some silly/funny ones?

Kai said...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Happy dancing on your behalf over here! And the card? While I think a broken bones stamp would be way cool, I think your beautiful card is going to soothe the recipient as well as please her! Not only is the stamp you used to frame the words lovely, but that ribbon is a really elegant addition!

Such a beautiful elegant get well card. Love it.

How do you get the bow to tie sideways. Do you put the horizontal ribbon on first and then glue dot on the tied bow separately?
Enquiring minds want to know cuz your is perfect!
