This is my FIRST challenge since October. I am so excited to be here. I don't remember how to upload, but will figure it out.
For those of you who don't know, I was diagnosed with dystonia (writer's cramp) in September. The treatment is Botox, which is temporary and needs to be repeated. The Botox lasts approximately 4 months. My treatment (had in October) did not go as planned, and my right hand has been partially paralyzed for two months now. Sooooo, I was unable to do a lot of things. Finally I am much better, and I can press the button on the camera and do a little stamping. (I will NOT be repeating the Botox treatment. That stuff is nasty.)
I chose the QFTD94 as my return-to-SCS challenge. I love Wendy's cards and knew I'd find something beautiful to CASE. I chose her Borders & Wishes card. I changed the colors, but it is otherwise pretty much the same.
Making this card is physical therapy for me since I need to get these muscles moving and regain strength. (I'm really lucky this is temporary.)
Congrats, Wendy. I hope you enjoy your week.
I'll be back tomorrow to comment.

Your card is beautiful, and love the added embossing on it. Glad you are feeling like stamping. Makes for a great day in my book.

Lorie, you've made a beautiful card. I did not know about your writer's cramp but so glad you have improved enough to get back to SCS. Hope you see lots of improvement quickly. Take care.
