Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge # 98


Click Here For More Info



I feel like I have been gone forever! Without getting into much detail I had a med. procedure , and I had a hard time getting all the medicine out of my system as it left me so dizzy.  I hate to take anything. I tried last night to get caught up on some of your blogs, sorry if I missed some. It was a busy weekend and I just coped with doing everything in a dizzy fog.  I am much better today. 
The first thing I made today is a Christmas card for theWMSC.  I used some paper left over from our 12 Kits of Christmas. A sweet friend that I have gotten to know from our group Jeanne, sent me so many flowers to make that I thought I would try to do a Jeanne -ish  card in her honor .  Jeann became one of the new Mischief Makers at WMSC . Funny thing is I told Jeanne  no red flowers … I happened to use the only two red ones that got snuck in the bunch!  Thanks for stopping by.

  3. This is gorgeous! I love the deep red and the great sheet music paper (I cut mine all up and used it...I'm jealous you still had some left!) and the green bow with rolled flower is the perfect touch. I'm glad you're finally feeling back to normal again!

    Love your "Jeanne" take with those incredible flowers and ribbon...
    it's stunning!!
    And isn't she just amazing?
    I bow in awe of her! :)
    Hope you are feeling better...
    but take care of yourself and don't push too hard...
    it's takes a while to get over any procedures!
    OH! And I don't take medicine either...
    anything harder than an Advil and I try to say "no"...
    even after I've had surgeries!

  9. Marybeth! SO glad you are feeling better - Gotta say I just love this card! The Christmas stamps, the music print background paper, and oh did I mention..... The roses are GORGEOUS (see RED can be AMAZING!!) You really dressed up those flowers with the pearl centers, the glittery twine, and that holly die cut! Looks like I'm going to steal you away from the CAS side!!!

  11. How many times I have wished I could make a "Jeanne" card too MaryBeth. You did a fabulous job. Jeanne always uses such beautiful flowers and bows on her cards and your card has all that...and more! I love the little holly sprigs and the cute images you chose for the little boxes in the sketch. Glad you are feeling better!
