Hi there - how are things?
I'm late posting today, I had hoped to get here earlier, but you know how it goes. This morning I had a doctor's appointment - had some trouble with kidney stones a few weeks ago and am still trying to track down what's going on. After a CT scan and some other tests it seems I'm stone-free, but a little uncomfortable right now. At this point, the only recommendations are to watch the coffee/tea intake and drink lots of water. Hopefully I won't have to repeat any of that entire experience.
I made a card yesterday for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge. Very woodsy colors this week.
Here is the card I made.
Was in a fussy cutting mood. I used images from the Wplus9 set Guiding Light to create a little scene on my card. I particularly love the grass and bird images in this set, and it was a joy to put them all together. I so enjoy using these stamps.
I thought the colors suited this design well - something serene and calming, which plays perfectly off of the ocean scene. My Mom is having surgery on Friday and I think she will like this card.
Thank you for stopping by - take care!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Anya! I had surgery to remove my gallbladder last fall because I had gallstones - and I've heard it's the exact same pain as Kidney stones, just in a different spot. Glad to hear you're now stone-free... hopefully you'll continue to feel better!!
