I have been so blessed since my broken knee, to have had friends bring meals to my house every other night for the entire month of June!! I also had friends who brought me FRUIT...in arrangements, in bowls...wonderful fruit! I just got the Fruitilicious stamp and die set by Clearly Besotted and made 3 similar but different thank you cards for some of my friends:)!!...
I die cut the white paper, then stamped on them and layered the strawberries for the first two cards. I also used the Impression Obsession Cover-a-card Gingham, stamped with versamark for all three cards. This first one, I dotted an enamel dot on either side of the sentiment.
The second and third cards, I used a Lil Inker Designs Stitched Mats: Rectangles dies for the white panels. I stamped the red cards with the Gingham stamp, but it IS kind of hard to see on these two cards in the pics. I layered the strawberries on the second card, but inlaid the strawberries on my third card...
Had so much fun with these berries...can't wait to use the rest of the fruits:)!!
Update: Just wanted to let you all know, my knee is doing well! I saw my doctor about 3 1/2 weeks after my surgery, July 1st...he took my hinged brace off my leg and said I didn't need it any more(he had originally said I would need to keep it on for 6 weeks!)...did not need "therapy", but that I would need to be on a stationary bike(I just bought a portable one on Amazon...had incredible reviews)! I walked out of that appt wobbly and really uncertain that the doctor had made the right call with me...my brace had become my "security blanket"! I have lost a lot of my quad muscles, and am at times, still a bit wobbly, but can tell, I am getting stronger every day! I will be getting my bike Tuesday and can't wait to get my knee bending, and get rid of all the fluid that continues to collect in that leg!! I thank you all for your well wishes and emails to me...I am so thankful for how recovery is going, and although it appears that this will be a long process...I am confident my knee will continue to get better:)!! Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Lisa what a fantastic set of cards!I am so sorry that you broke your arm, but so happy that you have people in your life to make it easier for you!
ReplyDeleteLisa! I completely missed the news of the broken knee cap. I went back and saw the x-ray. OUCH!! I'm glad to hear that you are recovering and that you've received lots of help from good friends. I hope your recovery continues and that you are soon back to normal. Oh, the cards, which I drew me here in the first place, are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLove these adorable cards! Fantastic news about your knee! Maybe a cane could be used in the interim to give you a little support until you build up your muscles. Don't want you falling and re-injuring that knee.
ReplyDeleteDarling cards! And continued well wishes re your knee.
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards!!
ReplyDeleteVery happy to hear that you are doing so well with your knee and that your recovery is going faster than expected!
