♥: Simple Joy Ornament

Simple Joy Ornament

Happy Wednesday! I am happy to report I am able to drive again! It's a joyous day indeed! It's been two weeks since I have been behind the wheel. While some may prefer being chauffeured around, I was finding it down right agonizing to rely on someone else. Today I had the privilege of picking my DD up from an after school activity. Her jaw completely dropped open when I pulled up to the school. Of course the first words out of her mouth were, "you're not supposed to be driving!" I assured her I was cleared by the doctor so she was a little relieved I think. Hmmm. I am hoping tomorrow to venture out further but we will see how I am doing. It's the little things. :-)

Today's card is a simple Christmas card I am sending out this year. I wanted something relatively flat for mailing purposes. I am used completely non traditional colors and papers. I am so partial to My Mind's Eye. Especially the Lost & Found collection which is the panel of decorated paper on this card. I used a free Berries n Bow image colored with Copics. Then I stamped Martha Stewart sentiment and colored in with Copics to accent. The image is popped up with foam dots. Easy huh?
