I've had my cast and brace off for over 4 weeks. I am in physical therapy trying to get my hand and shoulder back to it's full range of motion. I assumed that once the broken bones in the wrist and arm were healed, I'd be back to normal (physically at least, LOL)...However, getting old truly "is not for sissy's) From being immobilized and fractured, my wrist and hand have become stiff and non cooperative with my will.... As much as I want to be able to turn my hand over as if I was carrying a tray, I simply can not. It is rather frustrating, but luckily it was my left arm and I am a " righty" So I am able to still craft.
Here is a set of cards that I made to match the prior card I made for my elderly Aunt who is recovering from knee surgery in a rehab center. She is the sweetest, sharpest woman who truly enjoys and appreciates every little detail of my work. Whenever I have sent her a card, she immediately sends me a thank you card noticing every little detail. So I know she will be thrilled to receive this little package that I customized for her to send to her friends and family while she is recovering.
It's a simple design using a Kraftin Kimmie Stamp and minimal coloring and a bit of bling with some glitter nail polish.
I am entering the following challenges:

I made 6 cards with matching envelopes
Then I wrapped them in a simple grograin ribbon with a die cut from my stash and a folded doily.
