Get Well Soon

So, there's been a bit of a demand on cards of late, first graduation, then my neighbour going in to hospital for a hip replacement, hence the need for get well and thank you cards, all mixed in with the usual birthday requests!

So this demand has spurred me on and today I'm sharing my get well card with you, as my neighbour comes home today and it will be so good having her next door again so I can pop in and out as I please!

I'm not even going to begin naming the papers - they are old, but colouring is by Promarker and the stamp by LOTV.

Challenges;
Creative Knockouts - For the girls
Sketch Tanten - Sketch 33
Pink Gem - Summer Colours

Finally, I promised I'd share some graduation pics with you...so here they are.  So proud of Alan, five years of study and he graduated with First Class Honours in Master of Chemical Engineering.

I've needed a couple of get well cards this week, and the ones I have all relate to catching bugs or broken bones so I needed another style.

I've ended up making a CAS card using this weeks Friday Freebie from Bugaboo.  It's double printed then the flower heads raised with silicone glue.  The card is then finished off with liquid pearls.

Catch the Bug - Get Well

Today I share a card with you that I made for a bloggy friend who recently has had a stay in hospital.  Think she's on the mend now - I do so hope so.

Anyway, my card uses a lovely image from ADFD - available here.

I paper pieced it after seeing this done on another blog - only I used real paper where as the other one was done graphically, I think - looks that way to me.

Papers this time are Papermania from a few years back, then my fish-tail dies were in action to create the banners.

Challenges;
ADFD - Yellow - and thanks for a great freebie
Sketch Saturday - Sketch 292 - but I made it square not rectangular - but I guess you clocked that!
Just Us Girls - Paper Piecing
Word Play Saturday - Yellow
Fussy and Fancy - Monochromatic - Yellow
Glitter n Sparkle - Bingo - Die-Cuts/ Digi/ Buttons

Off out to pick up some leaves now as the garden is full - again! Jx
