Life and a Card

 It’s been quite a couple of weeks! Joe came down with a cold - the first he’s had in about 5 years - and it took almost two weeks to totally resolve itself….luckily he didn’t share it with me! I had a tooth that was extremely sensitive to cold so I went to the dentist. Of course my dentist was on holidays but I was able to be seen by a newly licensed dentist who advised me that I was either looking at having a root canal or a tooth extraction which had to be determined by a specialist in Windsor. Oh boy! 

Then I had an acupuncture appointment which went okay but I also had to go have my toe nails cut. My back is fused about 1/3 way up from my waist so bending is not easy. This time I had another apprentice cut them and she dug a little too deep in the sides of the big toe - yup, infected! And the weather has been its normal unpredictable self as well. Yesterday the sun was shining - 15 minutes later we had a snow shower which lasted about 5 minutes - back to sun again. So weird. 

Tomorrow is the big eclipse here in Ontario. I have our glasses ready to view it - unless we are under cloud cover! So, yeah, its been a weird couple of weeks! But I do have a card to share. Oh, by the way, my card on Scrapbook and Cards today did not make it to the second round. But I thank all of you who voted for it.

                                           
A friend gave me a bag of greeting card fronts that she had received. One of them had these pretty cupcakes on but they were spread out across the card. I decided to fussy cut each one and remake the entire card. I love doing this. The background is from a 6” pack and I think this is the last paper in it. So it was cut down to 5.25 inches to fit on a 5.5 card base. I added the strips and stamped the sentiment on the purple one. Then the two cupcakes on the outside were glued flat and the one in the middle was added with dimensional tape.

 That is all for a sunny but cool Sunday, April 7, 2024.4.7

 

Cheers
