Get Well Soon Kim

Today, I wanted to create a card for my good friend Kim who has been under the weather these past few days and thought I would bring some cookies since she loves them a lot. I decided to use the sketch Scrapbook Sisters:



Here's my take:


The inside:


 Cardstock: Brown (Martha Stewart); Papers: The Sweet Stack (DCWV); Stamp: Melinda with Cookies  (Whiff of Joy), Accessories: Paper Doily, flowers (Recollections), swirly pearls (Recollections), ribbon with metal (stash). Sentiment: My own handwriting.

Thanks Oodles for the cookies

Over at Progressive Challenge #10, we had to create something with the theme "Bringing out the New Year" so I used the sketch from Catch The Bug and to be with the theme, I made her say "thanks, oodles" for the cookies that she had in her hands. It's a gift from her family for the New Year and the funny story is that she can't put on more weight now that she is a senior!

The digital image is from Bugaboo Stamps and the sentiment is a vellum sticker from K& Company.


Here is my take:




Recipe:

Paper: Martha Stewart Cardstock, pink and stripe papers from my stash.
Ink/Markers: Memento Black Ink, Copic markers, prismacolor pencils, Martha Stewart Black Pen
Accessories/Tools: Classic Circle Nestabilities, ribbon from stash, bling from stash.

OWH Stars and Stamps- Bling but no glitter
