Turtle Get Well

Our nephew had to undergo out-patient surgery to lengthen his Achilles Tendon in both of his legs. Poor guy will be in casts until they heal.

I thought this saying was perfect for him... as with the turtle on his back.

Praying that his surgery and healing goes quickly and without complications.

I used my digital software to create the turtle, shadow and the sentiment. Finishing the project the traditional way.

Thanks for taking a look!

My Memories Suite digital software

Shape - Oval (filled with blur)

Hoppy Birthday

When I saw Lisa's cute card (bottom)... I just knew I had to try to recreate it using what I had.  My card is the top one! =)  I just LOVE how it turned out!

I used my digital software and printed out the frogs and the 'hoppy birthday' sentiment on Whisper White cardstock.

Next it was all about texture and layers.  I used three different Texture Impression Embossing Folders (TIEF) on this project - Square Lattice on the white, Houndstooth on the green, and Decorative Dots on the orange.

Thanks for hopping on over!

Embellishment - Hoppy Memories (frogs)
