I’M HERE! It feels good to be able to sit at my computer again with my feet on the ground. A couple of weeks ago I had surgery on both of my feet and I’ve had to keep them elevated. It made crafting pretty much impossible for awhile. 
But I have been able to play for the last few days. One of the things I made was this wedding card. Part of the invitation was used to make it. I love doing this! It’s like getting free designer paper!
And a confession… There was a mischievous smudge lurking on my craft table, and it found it’s way onto the rose cutout. Ugh. So a pearl came to the rescue. hehe
The funny thing is is that I would have never put a pearl there. It’s so random, but I love it!

I also want to express my deepest gratitude to those who have served in the Armed Forces. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you this Memorial Day.
My son, Jeff, currently active duty with the Army National Guard Medical Team.

This is beautiful, and like you – I love using parts of invitations to create cards! It adds such a personal touch! I love the colors you used here……it’s very different and so pretty!
I’m glad you’re recovering from your surgery and doing better, and I hope both those tootsies are healing well!
Happy Memorial Day, and TFS your son’s great photo!
So sorry to hear about your surgery, Susan, but glad you are getting up and about again. Very pretty card – I love how you use the invitation on the card. I’ve got two weddings this year, so I may have to try that! Take care of yourself!
Gorgeous card, Susan. I love the placement of that pearl. If you hadn’t said anything I would have thought it was meant to be!
You must be very proud of your son. Please extend my thanks to your son and family for their sacrifices made serving our country.
Oops, I posted my message without extending get well wishes. Hope your tootsies are completely healed and ready for your dancing shoes in not time!
Susan, I’m so sorry to hear of your surgery and hope that you’re doing okay now. Your card is gorgeous and I love the pearl! Give your son a big hug from me and my family and tell him how much we appreciate him and love him for serving for our country! God Bless him!!!!! Hugs, Jerri
Fabulous card, Susan 😀 Love the colours. Hope your feet recover quickly!! Did you have bunions removed? My MIL did recently and it was quite the experience for her. However, she is thrilled with the outcome now 😀 Many thanks to your handsome son for serving his country!!
Beautiful card — how clever to use the invitation in your design!
I hope you continue to recover quickly!
Thanks to your son for his service — that’s a wonderful photo! You must be proud!
Here’s to a speedy recovery! Feet are precious things – we must take good care of them. I love the pearl! I thought you put it there on purpose for balance.
Sorry to hear about the surgery, Susan… Hope that your recovery will go smoothly and very fast! Sending you good thoughts and lots of hugs!
Your card is so beautiful! I love a pearl that you added to the rose!
And thank you to your son and all of the soldiers who saves us each day!
Beautiful card! I never would have thought to use brown for a wedding card but it’s very elegant!
I hope you are healing well after your surgery. My son needs to have surgery on both of his feet this summer but they want to do them one at a time!
I am so glad to hear you are healing well after your surgery…sounds like you have had quite a time!!!! It’s wonderful to see you getting your fingers inky…your card is lovely!!!
