Design Team ~ "Better Coverage" Get Well Card

Pin It

Hello everyone!  It’s Kim from Katydid Cards here today to share a “beary” cute get well card.

I thought I’d keep with this month's challenge theme and create another card featuring bears…in this case it’s a bear with a bear butt and an em”bear”rassed nurse.  I know, my bear jokes are becoming un”bear”able, so without further ado, here’s my card:

I made this card with cut files from My Scrap Chick from their Medical Bear collection, adjusting the size to suit the card.  I cut them from Basic Black, Real Red, River Rock. Soft Suede and Whisper White card stock and Marina Mist DSP from Stampin Up.  The capsule comes from the digital kit Doggie Bowser MD from Sweet Shoppe Designs.  I enlarged it…a lot…and then typed my greeting using the “Andy” font and created a Print & Cut file in my Silhouette.  I attached the capsule with an Action Wobble Spring.

I sponged the edges of the bear body parts to create dimension.  I sponged a bit of Rose Red to Nurse’s cheeks and hand colored her eyes with a Copics Black Drawing Pen and Sakura White Gel Pen. This sits on a panel of Bazzill light blue embossed with the Dots and Lines embossing folder attached to a card base of Marina Mist.

Inside is a fitting sentiment: 
I hope your insurance has better coverage!  Get Well Quick!

I thought about using, “Why do you think they call it I C U?”, but I wasn’t sure everyone would get my dry sense of humor.  Which do you like better?

I hope you enjoyed my card and will be submitting your own Beary Sweet card for Connie Can Crop's challenge this month.  You can link up until the 31st of January.  You have a chance to win a great prize just by participating!  And if you have the opportunity, please stop by Katydid Cards to say, "hello".

Question of the Week

Pin It

Remember.. I want you to answer the question in the comment section too!

AND

if  you have a question to ask for an upcoming week add that in the comments too, if you ask a question and I use it you will win a prize!!

Here is this week's question:

What is your word or resolution for the NEW Year? Why?

Connie- My word is health. I want to get my life back and become healthier. This includes losing some weight but also managing my fibromyalgia and stresses. Taking better care of my whole body, mind and soul.

Daphne- I don't have a real "resolution". I am looking forward to this new year with the hope of better things. My fiancé has been sick and out of a job all 2015. He is finally better and is starting to look for a job! So I would say... I want to get back to a more "normal" life in 2016!

Angela- My word is de-stress. I want to be able to enjoy all the things my boys bring to the table....whether its bad or good. I tend to hang onto the bad a little too often and get completely stressed out.

Veronica- My new year purpose besides the whole being more healthy, excersice more, eat less carbs, being a better Mother, wife, and daughter, is to use my scrappy stash more and to buy less smile emoticon

Kim-  I don't have a word. I have a phrase and that is, "Be the best me I can be." It's an all encompassing mantra and I try to make every decision by first mentally asking myself is that the decision the "best me" would make?

ok, It's your turn to answer!!

Don't forget to check out the New Challenge!!

This is a one day blog hop and we appreciate your leaving a comment for all of these talented crafters!

Lisa at Honeybearz Designs is giving away an awesome goody to one lucky winner!! So be sure to leave messages along the way so you can win!!

For my project I created a layout. I wanted to do two things.

1. Use some of my old Scrapbooking stuff that I have had for years!!

2. Make a layout about me and my goals for the New Year. (I try to do this every year)

So here it is....

The paper and diecuts on this layout have to be over 5 years old. Talk about hoarding!

I look pretty good in this photo only because I just got back from Greece and I was refreshed and alive! Unfortunately I lost that glow! But in 2016 I hope to gain that back!!

What are your goals for the New Year? I'd love to hear them. Leave them in my comments and maybe you will win the blog candy I am dishing out.
