Cards In The Mail To Me

Tuesday, November 2, 2021

I promised to let you know how my dr. appointment went yesterday... so here goes... We got to see the MRI images so could see the cracks as well as the rough edges created in the crash.

The Dr. gave me a crazy looking brace that I will have to wear until my next appointment on December 6. It is very cumbersome, but will hopefully give me extra support and help with pain management.

My mailbox has had a steady flow of cards - not tons, but a gentle, steady flow, of which I am very thankful!

My recovery from the accident is also a gentle, steady improvement. Sometimes I might feel like it will never improve, I look back, and see that ever so slowly, I have gained strength.

Yesterday, was back doctor appointment day

Now to share the cards that came in the mail the last week or so.

My hubby hangs these cards on my bedroom wall so I have something pretty to look at and be encouraged by it.

Shirley is the designer of this pretty card

This darling little gift card holder is from Debbie. Debbie is also on my Stampin' Up! team and attends the monthly card club.

She used an oldie, but goodie stamp set called LOADS OF LOVE. So cute, and her generous gift is going toward the new pj shorts I had to buy as I lounge around all day! My legs get too twisty in long pant pjs when I'm laying in bed. Thank you, Debbie!!

Weekly Challenge Part 2

Tuesday, August 4, 2020

I think that my team was really challenged with last weeks challenge, but I did have some brave souls that gave it a try. Check out yesterday's post HERE

Rachel made a seaside theme on a couple of her cards and the perfect stand by of Bella & Friends and Free as a Bird. Her choice of Designer Paper is Woven Heirlooms (R)

Lynda only sent one card but we get the drift of the challenge. She just loves the Whale Done Designer Paper.
I am not getting nearly the amount of team members joining in on this weeks challenge, but I did get one from Karen who is very faithful to do the challenges each week

She said that she wasn't very fond of them when she started, but she did some tweaking and made it work, and I really like them - she did a great job!

Since I haven't had too many on my team join in on this weeks challenge I thought that I better give it another try to help inspire them

I decided instead of cutting my 6x6 pieces from Designer Paper, I would use Whisper White. Then I embossed each piece with a different embossing folder.
Card #1 I used the Evergreen Die, the brand new Evergreen Embossing Folder and some Designer Paper From the Forever Fern Suite. I backed the Whisper White piece with some Soft Seafoam Card Stock. The sentiment comes from another brand new stamp set called DOVE OF HOPE.

Card #2 - my card base of Soft Suede is embossed with the Stone Embossing Folder from the Sale a bration brochure.and the Whisper White piece was embossed with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder. I backed it with another piece of Whisper White to give it dimension. I adorned my wall with 3 of the smaller sunflowers from CELEBRATE SUNFLOWERS.

Card #3 I embossed my Whisper White piece with the Parisian Flourish Embossing Folder, then grabbed some of my retired Parisian Designer Paper and my Eiffel Tower die.
Card #4 - Well - you are just going to have to wait to see that one because I like the way it turned out so much that I decided to use it for my team Swap cards in September.

I had some late submissions to this challenge and wanted to make sure that they were documented in my blog post.

These next 4 cards are from Pam

Inez also sent in her challenge cards a bit late, but I am just so thankful when they participate

Jodie also submitted her challenge a bit late, but better late than never, I say

Weekly Challenge

Monday, August 3, 2020

Sometimes our team weekly challenge is more of a challenge for me than for my team because I'm the one that has to come up with what our challenge will be each week.
A couple weeks ago I had a visit from a new-to-me stamper who brought some great cards to share with me.

She showed me how she cut the Designer Paper so that you make 4 cards using only 1 sheet of 6x6 Designer Paper.

I had to give it a try to share with the gals

Here are the instructions:

Starting with a 6x6 piece of Designer Paper (I used white so you can see the marking better), measure down 1-1/2" on all 4 sides.

Place your paper in the trimmer and line up as shown with the markings in the cutter line
Now, lay the flat side of each piece in the trimmer as shown with the mark in the cutter line

Repeat for the second piece.

Then you end up with 4 exact pieces like this.

I flipped one of my pieces over to use the opposite side of the designer paper.

Tune in to tomorrows post to see what the gals on my team came up with for their challenge.
