Don’t you wish you never had to make Get Well cards?  I hate to hear about friends and family not feeling well.  If only sparkly, glittery cards would make them better! 

There's a new shimmery, glittery paper in town!  Yes, this is a sneak peek of the Silver Glimmer paper that will be debuting in the Holiday mini catalog.  This stuff is so sparkly beautiful and the glitteriness stays on the paper!   Love it! 

Supplies

Remember I told you about the Craft Project Central Creating Pretty Card Challenge? This month's  great sketch  was created by Julie.  Here's the sketch to refresh your memory.

I didn't follow the sketch exactly but it's pretty close.

I used a couple of sets from the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog.  The main image is from the set Always Grateful.  I have to thank Kivonne for pointing this set out to me.  I love the words and sentiment that comes with the set.  The  leaves are from another set in the Holiday Mini Catalog called Gently Falling.  Love it!  The DSP is called Spice Cake  and is quickly become one of my very favorties.  So, watch out you will be seeing it a lot! 

Here's the inside of the card.

I love a 2 Step stamp set that doesn't require precise  placement to look good.   Hope you will go on over to Craft Project Central and participate in this month's challenge!  What have you go to lose?
