Retrosketches #

 It has been crazy in my neck of the woods, and I haven't kept up with my blog or even commenting on ones I usually visit daily. A lot of my crafting time has been making my niece's wedding invitations. I am just about halfway there. I still have the response cards/envelopes to do after that. My goal is to have them done by the middle of June. Seems like the only cards getting made are those I need to give immediately. 

I just put this card in the mail to my sister who is having surgery on her knee this coming Monday. I used the sketch from Retrosketches #63. I am also submitting it at the last moment too!

     I stamped off the text stamp using Smokey Shadow. I wish I were better at that technique as I don't always have an even impression. The rose was stamped with Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold and Melon Berry. I used the Linen IP on the Hawaiian Shore card stock.

 Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Wishing You Well

     I used my new Oval Limitless Layer die to create this get well card for my neighbor (Bunni  on the PTI forum) who just had knee replacement surgery on Tuesday. I wanted something bright & bold. I had this piece of pattern paper left over from the mini album I made for my husband.

     The card base is Hawaiian Shores. I added a strip of Summer Sunrise & Aqua Mist. I ran my die through my Cuttlebug 7-8 times to cut through all 4 layers.  Believe me this was no easy task.

     A shot of the inside sentiment. I used selective inking on the sentiment from Think Big Favorites #7.

     Of course I couldn't just give her a card. There's some PTI goodness in her inbox when she gets home.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a nice weekend. My intentions are to spend a lot of my time crafting after I get my house in order and the laundry done.
