Get Well Soon...Sarn

Hi ladies and fellow crafters
Well... now that she has finally received it, I can show you a card that I made for my good friend Sarn, that I posted to her via snail mail recently. And... it really was SNAIL MAIL (I posted it on Friday and it arrived today...why the hell do we spend the extra cash on First Class postage when it still takes the same amount of time as SECOND class postage??? AND... how long WOULD it have taken if I had posted it SECOND CLASS???)

When I text her last week she said that she was feeling a little under the weather and a bit poorly (sniffles and flu like symptoms) so I thought I would send her a goody package to cheer her up.  I sent her some clear stamps that were really cute and came as a freebie with my Card Making & Papercraft magazine (I had two copies) and I enclosed the magazine also together with a variety of sweeties.

Here's the card I made for her...

Sarn text me about an hour or two ago to say that the package had arrived and that it had definitely put a smile on her face (and cheered her up). Ahhh, I'm really glad Sarn. Glad I made you forget your cold, for a little while anyway.

Sending hugs to anyone who is feeling poorly today, yesterday or tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Fae xxx

Get Well Soon Nanna

Hi girls (and possibly guys) just thought I'd quickly show you the card I made for my 82 year old nanny Rose. She went into hospital today for a knew operation which will be taking place tomorrow so when I go up to see her tomorrow afternoon I wanted to take a special card with me to cheer her up.  This is the card I came up with.  

I was talking to my friend Sue in Watford Market today, and I purchased some gorgeous Prima flowers and some cardstock off her and I was telling her about the card I made recently for the Penny Black challenge where I folded the ribbon over to make pleats along the width of the card and that gave me the idea to do the same on the ribbon for this card.  I bought the ribbon in TKMax on Saturday. They're fabulous!  Anyway, the image is from Lili of the Valley coloured with blendables pencils and the papers were free in a paper craft magazine.  The Prima flowers were purchased today from Sue on Watford Market, finished off with a single adhesive pearl in the centre and the writing at the bottom is my own handwriting.


Hope she likes it and isn't too long in hospital??? My daughter is having her 13th birthday party on the 10th July and she really wants her great-nanna to show the young 'uns how to boogie (my nan is always the first on the dance floor and the last one off...at least until recently!) So come on nanna, sort it out and get back home and walking... See you tomorrow, Fae xxx


Thanks for visiting and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon.
Hugs, Fae xxx

Get Well Soon, Brian

I made this really simple card for Brian, our lolly pop man, he had an operation on his throat last week and I really hope that he is on his way to a speedy recovery.

Get well soon, Brian

Miss Mimi

This is Miss Mimi, again by Marij Rahder. This is a get well card I couldn't wait to make as soon as I bought the decoupage images. She has such a cheerful disposition who couldn't help but feel better looking at her?

I used one of Katharina's sketches to design the card layout but instead of using a single message to the left of the card i decided the add the casts, bandages and other relevant things... thanks for the inspiration Katharina.
