Surprise

I made a card! It took me several days again but that's okay. I used pattern paper from a 6 x 6 Crafters Companion Delightful Daisies pad. You can't tell that I ran that paper through a We R Memory Keepers quilted embossing folder, I don't know why, then cut out the panel with a Lil' Inkers die. I also used a Lil' Inker die to cut a circle from yellow cardstock and added a Ragged Daisy die from Poppystamps. I inked the daisy a bit and stamped the greeting with a Denami Design stamp.

Still have some issues but doctors and I are working through them. Hoping to be fully back soon and not so tired all the time. Daisy is loving all these daytime naps cuddled up with me.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are a great gardener. That plant should have tried harder.




Be kind to one another.

WOW--love this, Brenda! That paper is beautiful and you made perfect use of it with the yellow circle and daisy! Happy you were able to make it. My cards are often made over a period of days. I do hope you get your strength back soon, so you can do things on your schedule. But naps with Daisy are good in the meantime! I do love getting cheered up with your jokes! PS--Sorry about Purdue, but at least you know a friend was happy--haha! Plus IU is looking good! Big hugs, Greta

Such pretty paper, Brenda - love it with the yellow circle and the daisy. Glad to hear that you and Daisy are enjoying daytime naps - that was me and Tessa a few years ago after my heart attack. May you regain full health soon!
