My friend, Betty, is going to just love all the cards that she receives. She is such a great person and it's so hard to watch her struggle with lung cancer and now a broken hip. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to send a card and/or a prayer for Betty.
What a fun tic-tac-toe challenge today. I chose the bottom row of Patterned Paper, Teddy Bears, and Summer Colors. I searched through my Evernote for teddy bears (wow, I have so many!) and stopped when I saw this teddy bear tea party digi. I printed it out and drew the table cloth to complete the scene, so I could cut it out with the ScanNCut. I colored up the image and finished off with white Enamel Accents for her pearls. Then I popped it up in front of this striped patterned paper that I thought would make great wallpaper and has nice fresh summer colors. The walls were pretty bare and I wasn't quite sure how to add a sentiment until I decided that I would frame it and hang it on the wall.

Jen, this is such a fun and clever card! While I think framing the sentiment was pure genius, I am fascinated by the texture you applied to the tablecloth. I love the shadows. Such a cute image, too. Most happy to do this for your friend, Betty. I am sure she needs some happy mail.

This is oh-so fun and so adorable! Your creativity is truly ah-mazing. I have not ventured into digi images yet, but I sure do love this one. I love that you added the tablecloth in and how you framed your sentiment. How fun! This is so delightful I know Betty will truly treasure this fabulous card you made just for her. ~Karen.
