Paper Roses.....

Do you remember that song from Marie Osmond? I know, I know, I am probably aging myself but every time I see all the paper roses every one is making on their projects, this song runs through my head. Well, at least this one lyric does. I really don't remember the rest of the song. I only remember hearing it play on the radio in the kitchen while my mom was cooking breakfast when I was a kid. So after watching this video by Lollychops I thought I would try my hand. I know a lot of other tutorials on making these are out there in blog land, but I found this one the most useful.







The theme this week on the Sentimental Sundays Challenge blog is "Get Well". I took the opportunity to make a get well card for my boss who is on medical leave. I hope this will brighten her day a little bit.

And here is a look at the inside.




I hope you will join in on our Get Well challenge. Stop by the Sentimental Sunday Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT is up to and pick up your free digital sentiment set.



Enjoy your day!
