Hi everyone, Carolyn here. Thank you so much for the supportive emails and comments you've left for both Melissa and I on our blogs and facebook. Your heartfelt encouragement has been a blessing.
I am happy to report after hearing from Melissa over the weekend, that she is doing very well - in fact her doctor has said that she's in his top 10 of fastest healing patients, so that is awesome.
Before Melissa was scheduled for her surgery, the Melissa Frances design team had planned to have a special 'get well soon' post up here on the blog for her. However, due to my unexpected medical issues, I was not able to get it posted immediately after her surgery, as I had hoped. But we finally have it ready for you today.
So Melissa, here is a little token of our love and affection to you!
From Linda Albrecht:
We love how she used the Melissa Frances crepe paper to make these beautiful topiaries. Here's a closer look:
Here's a beautiful card from Johanna. We love how she mixed patterned papers from Kitschy Kitchen, 5th Avenue, and Attic Treasures all on the same card!
From Sherri Siemens, a colorful card using our Kitschy Kitchen Collection:
From Evgenia Petzer, this adorable card featuring 5th Avenue and one of our gorgeous resin accents:
Here is a romantic and dreamy card from Fabienne Pernot. We love the delicate butterfly detail:
Here is a fresh and vibrant card from Emmeline Seet:
And here is Rachel's retro styled card featuring the Kitschy Kitchen line.
From Danielle Flanders, here is a beautiful 5th Avenue card for Melissa:
Here's a beauty from sweet Melissa Phillips (don't you just love the new MF pom-pom trim she uses?!):
We hope you've enjoyed this walk through our `get well` cards for Melissa!
They are all lovely. What a sweet thing to do.
