Thinking of You...

Hi there! Hope you are all doing well! Surely many of you are busy as ever and hopefully enjoying the holiday season. I'm tickled pink to share with you that one of my holiday projects is featured on the beautiful Melissa Frances blog. I would be thrilled if you checked it out ~ click HERE :) Thank you!

  My dear MIL Barbara had cataract surgery yesterday so I made her this card.
I combined pretty patterned paper from the Webster's Pages ladies & gents collection with a home made cardstock rose made using Die-namics Large Royal Rose. I stamped a sentiment from Inspired By Flowers Set #1 on a die cut strip made using a Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX die and added a few leaves made using Die-namics Royal Leaves.
For sketch inspiration, I joined along with Freshly Made Sketches:
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoy the weekend!
Be Sweet ;)
