Thinking of You Rosie with a New Challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge Blog

It's a new month which means a new challenge with Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge where it's always anything goes as long as you use a patterned paper!!!

My dear friend, Rosie, has had extensive surgery and has been in a nursing home for the past month. We normally do a great many things together including going to Healthtrax for the Aqua Arthritis Class - WELL, I made this card for the girls to sign to let her know she is in our thoughts and prayers:

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• size A2 card with DCWV La Creme Stack for the background
• image is from Create with TLC which was colored with Prisma Markers and Colored Pencils with gel pen accents and of course Stickles and fussy cut around the edges
• front sentiment was hand-written with white gel pen
• flowers were made using Fiskars Burst Punch with pearl centers - ya think I might have gotten a bit carried away with the flowers??
• sentiments is also from Create with TLC which was cut with rounded corners and chalked around the edges 

I love these images from Create with TLC as they are soft images slightly accented and with a few soft colors - viola,you have the front of the card! Also, this sentiment is one of many Create with TLC's religious sentiments.

I can't wait to see what you create this month for Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge Blog!!!!

I appreciate and love reading your comments - and hoping you leave me some bloggie love.  

Much love, hugs, and friendship
