I must say, this card made me happy. In fact, I showed it to Ginny who promptly confiscated it and took it to her dorm room. She just loved the bright colors and she said it reminded her of home. Aww, that girl is so sweet!

Wasn’t that a great technique? I loved how the card turned out and knowing I can put the strips on my card skiwampus or straight, either way makes a GREAT background on a card. Who knew there would finally be a technique for all those paper pieces and cardstock scraps that we all have! I don’t think we will look at them the same again.
Thank you so much for being here with me today my friends!
I am recovering well from my shoulder surgery last week. Sleeping is a challenge so the couch and lots of pillows have become my best friend. I appreciate all your email and kind words! You guys are the BEST! Enjoy your Tuesday! I have another scrap card idea for you on Thursday so make plans to join me then!
I love receiving your emails and ideas
Your cards are always nice and quick and easy to make. Thank you!
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Love all your videos. Have learned so much from watching.

Hi Connie,
I am happy to hear your shoulder surgery went well and you are at home recovering. I love watching all of your videos. I have been putting my rotator cuff surgery off for a few years as I am so afraid of having it done. I get cortozone shops every 6 months which help a lot. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hugs, Jan
Oh Connie, glad you are recovering well. You inspire me with all you cute creations and tips! So glad you are on the mend.
Connie,
We are in the same boat. I had shoulder replacement several days before you had your surgery.
My only regret doing this is I CANNOT MAKE CARDS!!!
Always enjoy your cards and videos. This one today is great…goodbye scraps!!!
Take care and wish you a perfect recovery.
Nancy
Wishing you continued recovery and a quick rebound. Love your posts. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!!
Once again I read your email, and there it is BOOM another good idea. Wishing you a quick and complete recovery!
Brilliant
I’m glad your recovery is going well. I can’t imagine the pain you are in.
I can’t wait for Thursday scrap idea!!!! Thanks so much, Connie! So grateful that you are on the mend!!!! Take it easy and rest plenty so you heal quicker!!!! GENTLE hugs!!!!
Praises that the surgery was successful! I have had both shoulders done, so I can emphasize with “recovery” patience and time!
Great ideas. Of course the surplus that you tossed made me scream—no. They could be buildings in a snow scene. Help. It is okay to toss paper!!! Lol.
So glad your surgery is behind you and you are well on your way to full recovery. This card could be used for Halloween. It reminds me of a mummy!
Prayers for a good recovery and you follow Dr orders. LOL
Sending best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery ?
