Bandages off!
WOOHOO I got all the bandages off my hand yesterday and it is functioning like a new one...LOL.
I am looking forward to being able to do some craft over the weekend. It is a long weekend here to celebrate Australia Day!
I have been and had the pampering treatment of a manicure today(in preparation to attend a wedding tomorrow) so no craft work ...can't afford to chip the polish...LOL

sun/moon images
I got bored with the tennis and cricket (all that is on TV or radio), had enough computer games so tried to make some more cards.
I stamped up some sun /moon images when I found some interesting background pieces in the drawer.

Home already !
Well it is amazing here I am home again, typing left handed while my right hand is bandaged and in a sling! 2 weeks like this could drive me a little nuts....but who will notice the difference...LOL
Operating the mouse left handed is a whole new ball game, but so far so good I have not made any major blunders nor deleted anything I shouldn't...LOL

Funky


My friend Marion gave me some rather funky paper clips (handbag and dress) recently and here are a couple of ideas I came up with to use them on cards.
30th Birthday

Well I am going to be a little bit quiet for a few days as typing could be an issue after this morning when I have surgery on my right hand to release the nerves in a Carpel Tunnel operation. Will get rid of the horrible pins and needles and numbness though.
This is the latest special card I have made for my neice's 30th birthday..Happy Birthday Tiff!
The background is actually dark green.

Silver Anniversary


I did get around to making something for my brother's Silver Wedding Anniversary. It turned out to be a bit more than a card. I had the base of last years calender which stands up on its own. I painted it silver and added a couple of pages I have created, the top one flips over to reveal the second page.

Wedding Card

I started out the day to make a Silver wedding Anniversary card for my brother and his wife and ended up making a Wedding card for a friend's daughter.
It is hard to see in the scan but the background paper for the initials is a lovely silvery/white watermark paper and the paper behind the heart brad is embossed with tiny rosebuds.
