Sending a little Sunshine

Today is a get well card that is all about sending Sunshine to someone under the weather!!  I'm sure why but I seem to be a Sun kick lately, don't I??!!!  Oh well, what ever the reason, I am enjoying it quite brightly!!

Sending a Little Sunshine Get Well Card
Not the greatest picture, I know, I was in a hurry sorry!!  So not much to say other than I rummaged through all my yellow patterned paper and grabbed the ones I thought complimented each other the best.  I used my Tim Holtz paper distresser on all the edges except the card base and 'sunshine rays' and rubbed SU daffodil delight on the edges as well.  I really like the effect it gave!

Okay so get out your scissors and make someone some sunshine!!  Now say that real fast ten times!!

Army Strong Birthday Card

Hi there everyone!  I am super excited about this card I made - it is Army Strong!!!!  Okay, so my nephew has recently decided to follow his daddy's big foot steps and join the Army.  HOOAH!!  While I am not particularly happy about it and I am happy for him!  This is what he wants to do and I support that 100%!!  He is doing so well, we are so proud of him!  Well, about the same time as his birthday this month, he graduates from his 'special training'.  So I thought an Army themed card was totally in order!  Here you go...


Army Strong Birthday Card


I chose a Z-Fold card because I thought it would work well with all the elements I had!  The paper on the far right side was actually given to by someone a long time ago and I have held on to waiting for it's moment of glory.  Well I think that moment certainly arrived with this card!  The image is so powerful to me it was perfect all by itself and I could bare to wright on it so that's when I came up with the little panel in the middle for my personal note.  Simple yet Strong is how I feel about this one!  I really hopes he likes it - it will be hand delivered to him by his daddy (my Big Brother!) when he goes to attend his graduation ceremony!!!
Before I start to cry and get all mushy I will sign off for the night...

Get Well Card

Wow, it's been over two weeks since my last post!  I'm so sorry peeps but here I am today with an adorable Get Well Card for you!  I got my idea from Sugnaysmom.  This was such a cute card that I really didn't change alot. 

Warmest Wishes Get Well Card and matching envelope
I made my own background by stamp repeating with flowers from Stampin Up's Itty Bitty Backgrounds directly on the card base.  I also used it on the envelope to make it match.  For the sentiment tag I used the heart from SU Framed Fun to make a background in SU tempting turquoise, I embellished it with hemp twine.  For the coloring around the sun, also from Framed Fun, I used SU daffodil delight and tango mandarina.  I really like this design and thought of a few more modifications to try so you will probably being seeing that cute little sun face again!!  Well folks, that's all I have for today, hope you enjoyed my little bit of sunshine for the day!
