Welcome Home


Hello All,

This is a card that I have made for a friend of mine who has just got home from hospital, she had a stroke and has been in hospital for 9 months, and got home on Monday ... Its to a new home as she needed to be in sheltered housing, as she will need carers and also needs a house that is suitable for a wheelchair.

This image is from the "Polkadoodles - A double sprinkle of Kraft" I have coloured the image with my copics ... used a bit of paper from my scrap pile and did some faux stitching ...... the fence detail and the little flowers have been done using a "Kanban" stamp ..... I actually added these on later, as I ended up getting lipstick on my card, and had to work out a way of covering it up!! LOL!!!

This is my entry for:

Sir Stampalot - Anything Goes
By The Cute and Girly - Things with Wings
Cupcake - ( challenge 124 - something new)
My Time to Craft - Bird watcher
Charizma Cardz - All about Flowers
Allsorts - Free and Easy

Once again Thanks for looking
Hugs Juls

  26. This is a really gorgeous card and made even more so as it is really from the heart. I love the colours you've used as it is so bright and cheerful.

    I am so pleased your friend has finally come home, I do hope that she continues to improve daily as I know only too well how your life can change so quickly with a stroke.

    On a happy note Brian is doing so much better and is actually working for an hour 3 days a week which doesn't seem much but it is huge deal for us.
