So sorry to hear about your operation....Take time to recover x What a fun, unique and thoughtful card for your Nephew and well done him getting into Law School x Love the gator, the vibrant colours and the creative and your fun shaker card x
ReplyDeleteThis card is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic card, Kara! I am so sorry the surgery required was more intensive than planned, patience is what you need and then you will be back full swing!! I love this card and I bet he will be tickled with it! BTW, I colored another bear card (two bears actually!) and I just posted it...I tried doing it the way you showed us, I think it turned out pretty good, still can work on light source...but I think they look fuzzy and cute! Check them out when you are just sitting around eating bon bons and watching soaps (LOL *wink wink!) Heart Hugs friend!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, hope you are on the road to recovery, Jo x

Hugs, and thanks for all of your prayers for the triplets. They are so precious. We are so blessed and the babies are doing so well.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your surgery... I'm hoping that like me in a few months things will be fine for you. Sometimes it feels like it is never going to get better... That's how I felt but 3 months down the line it's a different story... Hang on in there.
