Christi's Creative Crew: Operation!!

Here we go again!
Tomorrow I head to the hospital AGAIN for another surgery. I think by the end of the year I will be the bionic woman.
I have never had an stay over night surgery before (except for in 1980 when I had my tonsils out at age 23. Back then you stayed over night to get your tonsils out!!)
The pain I have been experiencing in my legs (and back) I thought was generated from the problem with my feet (which I had surgery on in both January and May), but after my feet were fixed and the pain did not subside down my legs I ended up with an MRI which showed I had 90-95% of my nerves being pinched off in my lower back. When I saw the MRI images, even I could read the problem!! I will be in the hospital for 3-4 days.
Hence the reason behind my post for today...
Do you remember this fun game from your childhood? I sure do! my best buddy, Phyllis, had this game and we had fun playing it together.

My friend Rachel made this darling punch art card and I couldn't wait to make one of my own. She actually sent me the PIN (by Ellen Kempers) a long time ago, but I never took the time to make it.

I made some changes to make it my own, but the basics are the same

What I changed:

1. The WISHBONE was made from the EASTERN PALACE DIES- can you see it?

2. I used one of the little butterflies (for "butterflies in the stomach") that I had on hand from the Butterflies Embosslits, and just added a thin strip of Basic Black for the body

3. The "Leg bones connected to the hip bone" - I used the bone die from the SWEET HOME Die set

4. The "Wrenched Ankle" I used the retired SLOT punch along with the medium sized circle from the retired OWL Builder Punch. It's just a smidge smaller than the one Rachel made.

5. I changed up the embossing folder to OH MY STARS

To make it easier on myself for the next one I want to make I made up an 8x8 instruction page for my punch art album. Maybe it will help you too.

What I left out from what is included in the game...
1. Charlie Horse
2. Water on the knee
3. Bread Basket
4. Spare Ribs
5. Adams Apple
