Hello All ,
I went to bed the other night, after I had made the card in the post below, and suddenly thought, if I used a tissue instead of a pea it would make a great get well card.....as much as I would have loved to have got up right there and then, I really had to get to sleep....although at times that can be difficult when you have so many card making ideas floating around your head......I honestly think I have more ideas floating around than cards I make, the trouble is before I get them all made I have found something else I MUST have....and then the whole idea's floating about thing starts all over again!!!......LOL
Anyway, this is another card made from my scrap pile...(and although I have mentioned that scrap pile so many times in my blogging life, I am still no where near making a dent)...I think it is "Basic Grey"
The fab image is "Sugar Nellie" and the sentiment stamp is " HOTP" all the edges have been inked with "distress ink - antique linen"
Honestly there are times when I question my sanity, I was looking for something to create the centre of my flowers, then I saw the pile of little blue punched dots from the waste from the "martha stewart" punch...and found myself picking them up and attaching with a glue pen!!!!! HONESTLY.....and I wonder why it takes me so long to make a card!
This is my entry for
Allsorts - Bingo (diagonal punch, flowers, pearls)
Tuesday Throwdown - Anything Goes
Thanks for looking
Hugs Juls

It's probaby crafting that's keeping you sane so I shouldn't worry about that.Using the tiny blue dots was a brilliant idea - as was using the same image for such a different card.And I know what you mean about ideas floating around in your head and keeping you awake - trouble is with me - by the time I've got to sleep and then woken up - I've forgotten all the bright ideas.
