Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #124

This week, I was so excited to see that the PTI  Make It Monday tutorial was by Melissa Phillips. She is one of my all time FAVORITE designers. To see her beautiful "how to", go here:

Lately I haven't had as much time to paper craft as I would like. My son is home from college and so are his friends. Young men can eat A LOT! But I don't mind the extra cooking. It's so nice to have them around:-) I tell you this to say, my envelope is not as detailed and beautiful as Melissa's (plus I am just plain slow!) but I was truly inspired by her to make my envelopes more eye appealing!

 I have a sweet cousin whom I love like a niece. She is going to be having some serious oral surgery that requires her jaw to be wired shut for 3 weeks! Only liquids! I don't even want to think about that! So, I made her this card. I LOVE this particular sentiment with this stamp set. 

I used the tiny triangles as banners all pointing upward and moving forward!

I used those same triangles to move along the front of the envelope...

And then around to the back.

Hopefully this envelope and card (along with a Starbucks gift card for lots of liquid refreshment) will encourage my cousin as she moves through the weeks ahead.

Thanks for looking!
