Goin' Buggy!

Well, I might be because right now I'm at one of my favorite shopping locations - Easton Shopping Center in Columbus, Ohio. As you read this post, I could be checking out all the cool stuff at Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn....maybe I'm trying to be good at Archivers...I know I'll be thinking about food trying to decide on what to eat at Bon Vie so I still have enough room for their heavenly desserts. This trip isn't for the faint of heart - my best friend and I leave at 6am and won't return until 2 or 3am the next night. And it's worth every minute!!!

Alright Stephanie...get back to business!!

Here's the get well card I made for a Children's Hospital Swap I'm participating in over at SCS. I love that the Misti, our hostess, will be donating the +1 card to a Children's Hospital rather than keep them for her part of the swap. How generous!!



I knew that I wanted to use my Cookie Crumbs Get Well Critters set from C.C. Designs. I just love how fun these images are, and those sentiments just crack me up! I paper pieced that little bug with some fun polka dot paper from DCWV Fun in the Sun matstack. I can't believe how well my ribbon matched the dp!! Another score from the ribbon outlet - now if I could just find a place to store it all and keep it easily accessible :)


Here's the view of the inside of the card. I wanted to keep it simple because it's a swap. In fact, I don't know if I was supposed to do that or not - oh well...I like that little extra touch.



Details:
Stamps - Get Well Critters (Cookie Crumbs for C.C. Designs)
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black; Copics (G21, BG10, C-3, C-5)
Paper - white, Soft Sky, green (Archivers), DCWV Fun in the Sun matstack
Accessories - ribbon (Offray)


Hope you're having a great day!! And I hope I come back with more than a nickel to my name :)

What a super cute card. Enjoy your adventure shopping. A few years back Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn came to Canada - too exciting. Waiting for Archivers to make the move north (wishing!). Enjoy.
