Get well card for Paulette

A cyber friend Paulette had a fall and broke her ankle
A lot of you will know Paulette she gives us lots of lovely freebies each day.   Her daughter is kindly carrying on for her while she is ill.
Some of her current and former design team have done a blog hop for her which starts at
http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com.au/

Have a look at all the lovely projects.   I was not included in the blog hop but I made a card and mailed it to her on 16 June.   Hopefully she will receive it soon.   Sometimes the mail to USA only takes a week, sometimes longer.  A friend from there sent me a birthday card in April and I didn't receive it till last week.
This is a scan of the card I sent to Paulette

I have spritzed white card with distress pens and spritzer and layered onto purple card.  Printed out image "Best Prayer Vintage" and sentiment "Best Prayers" which I think are past freebies  from TLC.

Inspiration Post for Feeling Sketchy - What do you do when you don't have scrapbook paper to go with your photos.

It is my turn to do the inspiration post for Feeling Sketchy.  I have been trying to think of what to do.  Others have been doing different techniques, but I don't know many.
http://feeling-sketchy.blogspot.com.au/

I finally thought of  "What do you do when you don't have a paper to go with your photos".

I made this scrapbook page before I had my blog so it hasn't been shown before.  I think it was for a scrapbook shop competition.

I made the paper by scanning Sarah's dress and added stickers.

For the following page I stamped the background paper

These are just simple pages that anyone can do.

Another Christmas card made today

I have been very productive today and made 6 cards, this is the last card for today/

I have layered precoloured Angel from Polkadoodles "Angelberry Christmas" CD onto paper from the same CD.  Added ribbon.  Printed sentiment from the same CD and attached over ribbon with star brads.  Punched baubles and added to top of card with gold thread and green star brads.
