Never hurts to have a get well card at the ready!
A get well card or thinking of you card is a handy one to have in your card stash. One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! products is the coordination – for me, the fact that the colours across the products are consistent and a lot of times the images from one set will coordinate with dies or images from other sets – whether intentionally or not!
For this thinking of you / get well card, I used a sentiment from Season of Chic with an image from Everyday Thanks and mounted it on some paper from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and I love how it all still ties together with the colours and the images.
I have to admit that I don’t often spend an overly long time on a project when I’m crafting, but sometimes it’s nice to slow down a bit and enjoy the process a bit more. I did a simple colouring of the heart on the bandage with my Stampin’ Blends Marker and then fussy cut the bandage image. Easy fussy cutting is key for me! A nice oval. I can handle that. Even though it’s not a huge amount of colouring, I still love how easily the Blends fill in the image and how the colouring is streak free. Still thrills me every time!!
Thankfully, I have not needed to send out this get well card, so it’s sitting in my stash. This is one of those cards I don’t mind not needing!!
I was away for a few days before Thanksgiving, at a business retreat. It’s always great to get together with other like-minded business owners – mostly Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. This group has gotten together in various combinations over the years, so it’s nice to reconnect with familiar friends and make new friends as well. The retreat was in Orlando, so a trip to a park was a must. My friends Darlene and Jo-Ann and I made it to Epcot to enjoy the Food & WIne Festival, but honestly, the highlight was getting to ride the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride! Ok. Actually, the highlight was that we were in Virtual Queue group 8 and basically walked straight onto the ride first thing in the morning. This was my face when I realized we had essentially walked right onto the ride…
This was my face ON the ride…pretty sure this is when the cars were going sideways…I was in the last car and at the beginning of the ride all the cars turned – I had a momentary panic that we were actually going to end up being the first car….note that I am not nearly as relaxed as the fellow beside me (who had ridden the ride the day before so knew what to expect).
However, the ride photo that made me (and my friends) laugh the most?
this is from the Frozen ride, and doesn’t it look like I’m looking right at the camera and posing??? I swear I had no clue where the camera was, and I actually thought my eyes were closed in the shot because the flash was so bright when the picture was actually taken! Too funny. (Also not sure what I was looking at, maybe the lights on the sides of the tunnel, I can’t remember).
It was a great time, and no photos of me at the Business Mastermind, in part because we were focused on business…and also because the lighting in the hotel conference room was awful LOL. (I look like I need a get well card sent to me…).
