Many of you ask how my hand is doing and I thank all of you for your concern. I got all my stitches out but it is still immobilized in a splint. My thumb joint was so badly damaged from arthritis that much of the joint was gone. Because of that, it can't possibly be done again so I have to be extra careful not to dislocate it before it heals. But it is coming along well, no more pain pills so I almost always know what I'm doing. (LOL - as much as normal anyway) Ok, I have a card to share tonight that I made using the Big Shot and the Flower Daisie #2 die. I cannot however, take credit for the design. I CASED this from a fellow demonstrator and when I went back to find her name I couldn't find the card again. So if this is your design, please let me know so I can give you credit and thanks for sharing.
I love this die. I think this is a great card for something that was so easy. The base of the card is Chocolate Chip cut 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. Then I cut Summer Sun 10 x 3 3/4 and folded in half and attached to the Chocolate Chip. The Flower is cut with Summer Sun and put together using a build a brad with a piece of DSP in Chocolate Chip. I used a piece of Double Stitched Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon acrossed a piece of Whisper White cut 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 with the Flower above it. That's it. I hope you enjoy it.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for the next installment and maybe another sneak peak!!Happy Stamping

I'm happy to hear you are healing from your surgery. Just be extra careful now that you are off the pain pills and feeling better. Way to easy to overdo and that would not be a good thing for your thumb. Glad you were able to put a card together, that has to help! jmniffer
Beautiful card, Jan! It's amazing that you can create with a splint on your hand. You must be very determined. I hope the healing process goes well for you and your back to creating lovely things very soon!
Hi Jan,
Nice card you are showing us today!
Just be careful Sweetie as you are in the process of healing and is not taking pills anymore...
It would be a terrible to have to stop making cards!!
Oh thanks for the candy, this is very kind of you!!
Hugs

Glad to hear you are doing better. You made some lovely cards in spite of your injury. I did not see anything about blog candy in this post but if there is a chance at winning God's Beauty I sure do want to chime in. I love that butterfly!

Jan, You really do nice work on your cards. I am off for the summer from my job (special ed. resource aide) and am looking forward to more "play time" with all my stampin' stuff!! You have inspired me!!

Good for you, Jan, another posting on your blog -- you'll get the regular hang of it soon. Lovely card -- makes you think of sunshine, even though we don't see it EVERY day. Extra kudos for you for working with a handicap, too!
I'm sure we'll all be on the lookout for your blog candy -- does that include some chocolate???
Hugs, Lillian
Another beautiful card Jan! I'm loving that Daisies #2 die. I recently got it, but haven't done anything with it yet. I have to make Father's Day cards today, but tomorrow...I now have a plan:)
