August 24, 2018 Friend Cards



I am "back" in my craft room - at least part time - and made a couple of cards for my chemo/senior buddies that I write too weekly.  The hardest skill for me to do is use the tape runner.  I don't know if it is how I hold it or the movement but it give me a lot of discomfort in my right arm.  I have adapted to using my left hand fairly well - and after the last trip to the doctor I find out that my shoulder - yes my new shoulder is not in place!!!  I see a specialist next week to try and figure out what the next step is.  Anyway got off track there - so back to my cards.  
My first card I used Do what you Love from SU - comes as a complete suite but I just got the stamp set and the DP. Creating a pretty card is a snap with this set, so many possibilities and oh the DP is stunning.  This is for my "new" chemo buddy that I just got a couple of weeks ago - and I know from her bio that she likes crafts so this was perfect for her.  
The second card is for my senior buddy - a gentleman in Canada that I have enjoyed for almost 4 years.  I used a set that came with one of the magazine from the UK and available at Barnes and Noble.  Saw it and then saw the price but then rationalized I was getting a magazine, stamps and dies so was able to justify.  Thought he would enjoy a wave.  What a fun card to make. 
Both of these cards went out the door yesterday on their way - hopefully tomake someone smile.

These are very special creations Shirley and I'm sure they will both love them! I think I do have that SU! stamp set, but then again I have many and forget the name of them sometimes! LOL! I'm very sorry to hear about your shoulder and hope that you can get it all straightened out soon. Wishing you a happy weekend! HUGS

Both these cards are winners, but I guess I'm partial to the "wave" card. It's so cute and clever! I really hope they are able to fix your shoulder soon. I feel so bad that you have to suffer while trying to make cards that brighten other people's lives. That's just not right in my book!!!
