Remember my last post? Well, I finally dug myself out of that mess and cleaned up my studio. I didn't really have a choice...it was my husband's birthday last Friday. On Thursday night, I realized that I hadn't made him a card yet, so I hustled into my studio to get busy... and getting busy in my studio meant cleaning my desk and putting away all of my painting stuff before I could get to stamping!
For his card, I used the Golf Ball image from Hambo Stamps (perfect since my hubby is a golf fanatic!). I stamped it three times and colored it lightly with my Copics (W1/W3/Y11/Y15/Y17/YG11/YG13/YG17). I cut each image out and popped it up on the card with dots.
I used some old patterned paper (sorry - don't remember the brand) and some Marigold, Cranberry, and Navy card stock for the layers. I added some faux stitching... but really kept it pretty simple. I didn't even add a sentiment to the front. (I put a cute/sassy saying inside... instead.)
My mojo comes and goes these days... just like my energy. To update you on my health - some days are better than others. I'm still doing a minimal amount of activity... and trying to get lots of rest and keep my spirits up.
Nate's parents were here at Easter and my parents came to visit this past week(end)... so that kept me busy. The weather is finally getting nicer here, so I'm thinking of moving a lounge chair outside and doing my "resting" out there. I saw my new doctor last week and LOVED him. He was very professional and had a pretty good idea what was causing my illness (the sleep disturbances) and even better, he had a solid plan for fixing it! YEAH! I am scheduled to see an ENT surgeon on May 4th to see if there is a surgical option for removing the obstruction that causes me to wake at night. As much as I dread any type of surgery, I'm more than willing to do whatever it takes to start feeling better.
In the meantime, I'll keep plugging along and playing with my stamps and markers as much as I can! :)
Hugs!
