Welcome to another TGIF Challenge. Seriously, thank goodness it's Friday! Are you ready to get your crafting on? I sure am. I'm planning to make, make, make all weekend. I have a bunch of fun new toys I can't wait to play with. To help you get your craft on we've got a theme challenge for you over on the TGIF Challenges blog.

Eastern Palace card - Stampin' Up! Charlet Mallett

This weeks theme is sympathy or get well. This is an awesome challenge as it's always nice to have a sympathy or get well card on hand. As I sat down to create a card for this challenge I realized that I do not own very many sympathy or get well sentiments!!! I'd better work on fixing that! I used the phrase "a note for you" from the Eastern Palace stamp set and tried to make my card fairly generic. This phrase felt like it could lend toward a sympathy or get well card and allows me to customize the inside of the card to whatever occasion is needed.

The Eastern Palace suite of products will be in the new catalog and just happens to be available NOW for purchase.

The 'a note for you' stamp is a photopolymer stamp. This particular text is curved on a circle. I straightened the phrase out on the block for this card design. The cut medallions are available in the Eastern Palace framelits.

This second card is bright and cheery and is sure to uplift if spirits are down. The 'Thinking of You' phrase is super happy and makes me smile. I wouldn't classify the Eastern Place stamp set as a sympathy or a get well set but somehow it works! I really 'made do' this week with my sympathy cards and I hope I've inspired you to 'make do'. Thank for stopping by.

This weeks What Will You Stamp Challenge set is Heartfelt Sympathy. I decided to use one of the more simpler sentiments from the set so I could add a bunch of details around it. I fussy cut a bunch of flowers from Wildflower Fields designer paper. I'll still using up my Sale-a-bration paper freebies! Stop by the WWYS blog to see more fabulous creations with this set.
