Good morning friends
It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog, and I have a Christmas card to share today using a 5 x 7" Flip-It die from Sizzix.
I fussy cut the left side of the banner, stopping when I reached the edge of the panel on the right side of the card. Then I adhered it to the card being mindful of the score lines and folds. It was sort of a whim to try it and I'm happy with how it turned out.
On a personal note, yesterday was a better day. I still sleep for at least an hour after every pain pill but my neighbour (who has had 51 surgeries in her life) says sleep is the best way to heal. I was able to get in and out of bed without assistance so that's a big step forward. The Dr. gave me a note to give to my employer, that I would need to be off work for two weeks. So I guess I need to give it more time, - I'm only a few days into my recovery.
That same neighbour brought me over some Magnesium Oil Spray and it worked wonders on my back spasms.
I received a gorgeous bouquet of flowers from friends down here so that really made my day yesterday too.
Ok - I'm sure it's time for another sleep.
Supplies:
5 x 7 Circle Flip-It - Sizzix
White card stock
Patterned paper - DCWV
Stitched ovals - My Favorite Things
Stamps - Verve
Gold gel pen - Sakura
Card size - 5 x 7"

The patterned paper has lovely gold foil bits in it.

ReplyDeleteI had gall bladder surgery many years ago and remember sleeping a lot. It is truly the best medicine. Take it easy and don't rush things. Sending healing thoughts. Marlene
