Cards

Update and an Elzybells Challenge

I had my gall bladder out yesterday. It was actually better than I expected. I usually prepare for the worst, then am pleasantly surprised when it's not as bad as I had thought.

This is me a little while after I woke up. Isn't it great how my skin actually matches my gown? hahaha... I took the picture with my Blackberry. I was SO thirsty and SO hungry because by the time I was allowed to eat food it had been 24 hours since my last meal.

So now I'm nursing 4 holes in my stomach, and am trying to drink as much water as humanly possible.


 
This week's challenge was to make a card with more than one fold. I have always loved pocket cards, so I chose to make one for this challenge. If you don't know how to make one, here is a tutorial at SCS. 



I used one of my favourite stamps from the last release called "Butterfly Ted" . He has so many useful applications: birthday, thankyou, get well etc. AND there are so many ways to colour him that he seems to be my go-to stamp lately.

 
I continue to use the papers from Making Memories called "Just Chillin'" and I also got some Crate Paper die cuts in the mail yesterday, and to my surprise they matched the paper perfectly. 
What I love about the pocket card is it's interactive, and self-contained. I've given these without an envelope as part of a gift basket or something, or I stick it in an envelope when I'm mailing it etc. 
Check out the rest of the design team's creations:
Check out the Elzybells Blog as well because Elizabeth has a little contest going on if you participate in this challenge.

      Despite your slightly greenish pallor (probably the ever so flattering hospital lighting, and not you!) you look great! Hope you get better soon and EAT!
