it’s now been one month since my new hip and for the first time since surgery, i got out today! even if it was only to my follow up doctor’s appointment. :)
i wanted to thank the home visiting nurse who followed up with my unexpected severe reaction to adhesive so i created this card for her, mostly in blues just like her uniform.
i painted the adorable mouse and envelope with twinkling H2Os, both from the mama elephant page huggers stamp set, die cut with the coordinating dies, and popped the die cut box on foam tape; both it and the sentiment were die cut from blue corrugated paper. finally, i die cut the scallop frame and attached it to a white base.
i’m playing along with these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – RED WHITE AND/OR BLUE

So adorable. I’m sure she’ll love it! You chose lovely blues.
Darling card! So glad to hear that you are recovering from your surgery.
Wonderful card, he looks so cute in the box. Glad to hear you are getting out and about. Sorry to hear you had a bad reaction to the adhesive tape, always something. Anyway I hope its all positive now hugs Aileen
That is absolutely adorable! I can’t believe he even used a tiny heart sticker on the back of his envelope. I think your mouse is a budding crafter! :)
Congrats on your new hip! And thanks for joining us for our Patriotic challenge at Cut it Up!
