After 12 weeks, I've finally been discharged by the hospital physiotherapist today, following my fall in April. I still have to keep doing the exercises with my hand and wrist to ensure that my fingers bend like they are supposed to do and to strengthen my wrist. The good news is that I can easily use my right hand again to turn the handle on my Big Shot, cut fairly accurately with scissors and my writing is legible again. 🤣
My 17 year old great niece passed her driving test last Friday and this is the card I made for her.
I used a Cuttlebug 'Spots and Dots' embossing folder for the embossed panel. A black snippet was used with a Tattered Lace '1960’s Car' die. The red L was die cut from a tiny red snippet using a Trimcraft 'Alphabet' die. I layered it on a white square and a black mat (more snippets), before cutting it into two pieces. A 'Congratulations' strip of ribbon finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
What a wonderful card to commemorate your great niece’s accomplishment Liz! And I’m so glad you’re healing up and what good news - to be able to craft unhindered :o) Thanks for joining in at the Alphabet Challenge. Nancy J, DT
ReplyDeleteLiz it is great news, that your hand is better now. And you made a lovely card for your niece. I love that 'Mini' diecut (my youngest daughter has got a Mini Cooper!).

I’ve got a Mini Clubman, my second Mini. My daughter is on her 4th Mini… her first one was the original design, so tiny! xx
DeleteHi Liz
ReplyDeleteBrilliant news on the hand front .. .. .. pleased you feel you are up and running again properly now. Love your list of things you are now able to do again (no mention of ironing though LOL!!).
Great card for your niece - congratulations to her too.
Love and hugs
