Freebie | Feel Better Soon Card
DSC00808

A work colleague of C's was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has started treatment. I really wanted to make her a card because she is such a lovely, bubbly person and it makes me feel so sad to think of her unwell. If you'd like to use this card, feel free! It prints landscape on A4 sized paper. Download here.

Printic offered me 8 free prints to use in their sweet little app and I thought I'd share the photos I chose. I picked a handful of photos from my Instagram account (you can also use Facebook or just your camera roll) and they printed them in lovely Polaroid-like prints. I'd definitely use the app again if I want to get a couple of special prints made - each print costs 99 cents including postage, so I possibly wouldn't get a whole lot of prints made, but it's one of the best iPhone photo printing apps, super user friendly and beautifully designed. If you'd like to try it, you can get 1 free print using this code: GNLSPRINTIC.
