Just over four weeks ago, the Hubster underwent full knee replacement surgery. This is the card I made for him. He is now recovering nicely although it's been a pretty hectic time for me because the poor guy has been so limited in what he can do safely for himself. He has needed help with even the most basic things like washing and dressing and his pain at night has kept us both from sleeping. Fortunately we have turned a corner and whereas I am still the shopper, food preparer, driver and carer, he is able to do more for himself and we are both looking forward to continuing improvements.
We have a new theme for "dies or punches" at Everybody Art Challenge and we would love to see your creations. I used this stitched frame die which I cut out of design paper and mounted on several cardstock frames, together with a bandaid and heart die from Papertrey Ink. My spatters and hearts stamped in the background are Stampin Up and I think the sentiment is Simon Say Stamp. Do check out the wonderful inspiration of my teamies and share some love with the Design Team by leaving comments on their blogs.
The above is one card in a series of bandaids and x-ray cards. The knee x-ray came from a Recollections vellum paper back. The foot is a digital image from the internet printed on vellum. Below is a card I made when the recipient broke her ankle. The stamped diecut frame is Papertrey ink, the tags are a Stampin Up punch and the bandaid is Lawn Fawn. I also stamped the envelope.
I am entering one or both of my cards into the following challenges:
CD Sunday Plus - #141 Always Anything Digital Goes (the foot xray is digital)
Creative Inspirations - Jan - Something Old Something New - I have used all older products for my cards
Cupcake Inspirations - #610 Add a tag

Edited to add my gratitude to Lori and the lovelies at Cupcake Inspirations for selecting my broken ankle card in the top picks. Thank you!

Interesting concept - like the clean design! Thanks for sharing with us at Dragonfly Dreams :)
I am glad that The Hubster is on the mend. May I give some words of comfort. I have had both knees replaced - 2003 and 2004 and they (replacements) are both still fine. I can never kneel but that is a small matter. I love the imagination of your card. So unusual but so brilliant.

Fantastic CAS masculine card. Thank jou for joning us at The Male Room challenge. Goga DT
Two great cards for him, I went though the same thing with my husband when he fell and injured his shoulder, I was cook, cleaner, driver, plus washing him, and dressing him, it’s hard work caring for a big baby but like you we have turned a corner, I hope your husband gets back to full health soon
Thank you for joining us
