Get Well Soon

Well, I've always loved the Stampin' Up Thoughts and Prayers set, and I finally gave in and bought it. This card is for a friend who is having surgery next week. I am entering it into 2 challenges as well.

The colors don't show up correctly. It's really Close to Cocoa and Sage Shadow, colors inspired by the Etsy Inspired Challenge - EIC114 - mine was a beautiful seafoam bracelet found here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/52277667/seafoam-bracelet-gemstones-and-silver.

The other inspiration was the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge - SC307 - and WT297 - to use brown - found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com.

2 Cards from SU Workshop

These 2 cards are from a Stampin Up workshop at my new friend and demonstrator's house - thanks, Yolanda - had a great time and these cards are beautiful, although I can't take credit for the design. They are lovely, though, aren't they? Just wanted to share them anyway. tfl

SU Ornament Card

Yesterday I went to a workshop at my new SU demonstrator's house here in California, and met some wonderful people and had a great time! I had to leave before the end of the workshop, so Yolanda kindly gave me the package she had to make some little tags for Christmas. I used one of the cute ornaments to make this card today.
I am entering it into the following challenges:
1. Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge - CC296 - found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/color-combinations-f43/cc296-poppy-tempting-white-t511453.html; and
2. Mojo Monday sketch challenge - MOJO164 - found here: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2010/11/mojo-monday-164.html. What a perfect sketch for this cutle little ornament!
Thanks, Yolanda, for the inspiration and a great time!
