You've Got A Friend......FMS399

If this sentiment makes you want to sing a James Taylor song then you and I are on the same wavelength!  I had to combine a sentiment from Bella and Friends and one from Daisy Lane to make it work.  But now I am going to be hearing that song in my head all day!

Use three of any shape you'd like for Jen Brum's sweet sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

Stamp Set: Daisy Lane, Bella and Friends

Fusion: Kindness

I always try to combine both the photo and the sketch when I create my Fusion card but sometimes that can be challenging!  Not gonna lie the picture this week gave my CAS heart palpitations!  But some Designer Paper came to my rescue and I tried to keep the rest neat :)  

And I need to give a shout out to one of my good friends (and best Children's librarian ever!)  She knits hats for ladies undergoing treatment for cancer - a small act of kindness during a difficult time in their lives.  She asked me last week if I could make a simple tag to attach to the hats. So I sent 55 tags off to her and she sent me back these two pictures......

A wonderful act of kindness for sure.....

Back on Your Feet.....FMS398

Back on Your Feet from Stampin' Up is as cute as can be and the perfect set for get well wishes.  This card is headed to the Big Guy's barber.  I don't know about you but I can't even begin to count how many people have cut my hair in the last fifty years.  But the Big Guy has only had one!  His barber is well into his eighties and has reduced hours but has no plans to retire. Unfortunately for the first time that we can remember he has closed his shop due to illness.  Word on the street though is that he will be up and clipping soon!

Cecile has a delightfully breezy sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Hope you join us!
