Get Well!

Hi Everyone-

It is Wednesday evening.  Has been a busy day with lots of running around. Mom's doctor appt produced 4 more appts.  I don't mean to complain but I can't figure out people who do the part of mom care that I do as well as the daily chores, etc.  I'm lucky in that my sister does the day to day stuff and my other sister does much of the big stuff.  So it's shared and still I'm worn out! I'm blessed that I teach private piano and voice lessons and that I have wonderful students.  I can get lost in their growth and the music.  So after the lessons, I felt some relief from the mom stuff.

I hadn't noticed it before, but the cards that I've made to display here have been a real reflection of my feelings.  I want to simply life...and I posted "a simple wish".  Then it was the fishing card at a time I was feeling overloaded and sinking.  This is the first time I've recognized the old saying that "art is a reflection of life" in MY life.  I've been doing some kind of art/crafts for years.  Probably everyone else could see me in the projects.  But now I see it too.  Kinda neat.

So here is my next card.  Today was about doctors so the card is about getting well.  Fitting.

Again, I used up scraps.  The butterfly on the cover is cut from Cricut's Create a Critter cartridge, page 64, shift plus shift layers 2 and 3 at 2 1/2 inches.  The inside butterfly is from Cricut's Cricut Sampler cartridge, page 44, Bonus/Shift at 1 1/2 inch.  The ribbon is a glitter ribbon left over from a flower arrangement.  The scolloped edge on the get well sentiment, is a punch.  Since the card stock was the deep purple, I put the inside sentiment on a full piece of copy paper so I could add a personal note when I'm ready to send the note.




Hope you enjoy the card and I look forward to hearing your comments.

Til Saturday, blessings to you.

Linda :)
