Get Well

Hi there friends!  Got some news last week.  My Auntie Kathy went to see her cardiologist for the 1st time in 7 years.  She had been having pains in her chest and just wanted to have this looked at.  The dr. scheduled an angiogram.  During this test, the dr. interrupted the technician and woke Auntie Kathy up.  Emergency 4x heart by-pass surgery.  Of course, she was taking a few medications that needed to be stopped.  So this Thursday she was scheduled.  Everything went great (praise the Lord) but she actually had all 5 done.  She is recovering, pain is manageable so she just has to get out of the hospital next week sometime.  Now I needed to make her a get well card.  Auntie Kathy and I are only 12 years apart and are more like sisters.  So I needed to make something that would get that grin back on her face.  So here is what I dreamed up, well with ScrappyDews help!  Here’s the lyrics… ~Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells 12x12 paper    *Frightful Folly    *Steampunk Spells    *Fanciful Florals ~Scrap Factory Program    *Closed No Toes Body    *Hair-DEBBIE    *Winter Dress #7    *Accessory Bunny Slippers ~Flannel material ~Felt ~Jewels ~Of course Make The Cut, and my printer So I made the doll first.  I just love the Scrap Factory program.  There are probably millions of combinations for creating just the right doll for your project.  I knew I wanted to make the dress and sleeves in fabric.  So after cutting the paper pieces, I just glued on bits of material.  Worked slicker than a whistle!  Presto Chango….I had my card done and in the mail.

I made an easel card

The bottom of the card See the little cup of cocoa?  I was able to find this free svg file from a wonderful new program that Rob and Michelle from ScrappyDew have developed. It’s called SVG Hunter. Please take a look at the link.  It is the best money you could spend this year in your crafting. 

So maybe next week I will be able to share with you the final gift tag and presents for my DIL birthday the end of the month.  

Bright Blessing for a fabulous week!  Jana

Warm Hugs Across the Miles

Guess what gang?  It's Saturday again and time for a new project.  This is a card that I made using the Scrap Factory file called ScrappyDew Bedtime.  I used the hair Vicki and outfit #3.  All of the card is constructed using various scraps and 1 sheet of cinnamon colored felt from Hobby Lobby.

 The inside of the card uses Kitty Palz from Scrappydew.  

I have a very good friend that lives many miles away that is dealing with a medical issue at the moment.  I thought she might like a cute card to cheer her up.  I think I surprised her and she said that it did just that.  Get well soon sweetie!

Now to the comedy portion of the blog for this week.  I am a huge CHICKEN when it comes to thunder and lightning storms.  I am terrified.  Thankfully we just don't get many here in the valley of Oregon.  That was until last night.  I knew when I got up in the morning and saw those stinking clouds I was in trouble.  (at least the storm waited until after the ScrappyDew Hangout on Google+ was over) About 9:12 pm (yes, I looked at the clock) it started.  Just heat lightning at first and then the BOOMERS started about 45 minutes later.  Wasn't bad, I could handle this.  But when the power blinked and the house rattled I went into panic mode.  Where can I hide....can't get under the bed.  Plugging my ears just made my head and fingers hurt.  THEN I remember I saw in the garage a set of noise cancelling ear phones (like the ones you use on a firing range).  Slapped those puppies on and magically the boomers didn't seem so scary anymore.  Of course this is after 3 hours of trying to stay calm.  This danged storm lasted until just before 4 am.  Of course then my kitty Spooky decided it was time for her to eat and got me up at 6:30 am.  Gang, I was falling asleep in my lunch.  Took a 3 hour nap this afternoon and all is well at home again.  Still keeping an eye out on the NOAA radar for any threat coming at us for tonight but so far so good.

So what's happening in your neck of the woods?  Any cool tips to share?  Leave some love or a comment and I will quickly get right back to you!

Bright blessings, Jana
