The vast majority of my cards go up to my church for their use and they recently told me that they needed "get well" cards. There are so many possibilities with this sketch - at least I could start by narrowing it down to "get well". I pulled out my stamp index (yes...I take time to stamp every single stamp in a set into categories - so all of my "get well" type stamps are in one place!) I had flipped just a few pages before I saw this stamp set with big sentiments ("big" as in lots of words, not big fonts). I put two sentiments together for this card.

Freshly Made Sketches: Hugs & Courage
It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Karren.
The vast majority of my cards go up to my church for their use and they recently told me that they needed "get well" cards. There are so many possibilities with this sketch - at least I could start by narrowing it down to "get well". I pulled out my stamp index (yes...I take time to stamp every single stamp in a set into categories - so all of my "get well" type stamps are in one place!) I had flipped just a few pages before I saw this stamp set with big sentiments ("big" as in lots of words, not big fonts). I put two sentiments together for this card.
To add interest, I clipped the little pull off pieces so it looks just like an ad on a bulletin board. I'm not sure this was wildly successful - from the front you really can't tell. It just looks messy. But at least it's unique.
I hope to see you playing along this week!
SUPPLY LIST
The paper is We R Memory Keepers Chalkboard. It's an older collection but I've single sheets at the Frantic Stamper website.
