Expressions In Color

I am ready for this year to be over!!   We all thought 2020 was a bad year but truthfully, I didn't mind the quarantine so much.  It gave me lots of time to make cards, read, etc.  This year it seems like I have something happen to me every week!  First it was the fall I had in late December when I injured my shoulder and back and started the year doing Physical Therapy for a couple of months.  Next I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with kidney stones in both kidneys.  Then there was the fall I took on Memorial Day which hurt my hip.  I saw the ortho doc today and he said I probably still have a few weeks before I am not limping or hurting but he dismissed me.  My daily Aleve helps with my hip pain. Hopefully, I won't see him again!  Last week was my annual trip to see the eye doctor.  Well, he diagnosed me with the beginnings of glaucoma!!  I am now taking drops for that.  Oh .... I'm not done!  This weekend I suspected I had a UTI (urinary tract infection.)  I went to the urologist yesterday.  He gave me antibiotics and pain pills to take for 3 days.  He will send my urine sample to be tested.  So, hopefully I will hear something today to confirm or deny the UTI.  If it is not a UTI, then I will go back to the urologist to determine what is going on!

In the meantime, here are a few of the cards I have made with the June Paper Pumpkin kit Expressions In Color.  It was a fun one!


Everything on this card came right out of the kit except the Thick White Card Base, a piece of white cardstock to stamp on and the Evening Evergreen that is used for a mat.  I love the simple-ness (is that a word?) of this card!


This is a Z Fold card.  I used an embossing folder on the white background.



I love that the dies and stamps from the Artistically Inked bundle.  The leaves were die cut onto copper foil paper.


I cut small square from a scrap and tried to line them up straight!



Such a simple card but packs a punch!
