FMS #22 ~ Home is where the heart is!

Another weekend gone by a new week beginning. This new week brings big changes for us. My husband had his final physical therapy session and the final check up with his doctor. All is WELL!!! His neck has completely healed and the PT has built up his much needed strength. He's back to work this coming week and changes are in store. A new job (with the same company) in a new location. His commute will be twice as long as before and the workday longer. This means much less time at home for him during the day. A place he loves to be. We've so enjoyed these last couple of months (wow...almost 3!!). Our house will seem so quiet and lonesome. But don't get me wrong, it IS a good change. Our other option was to move out of state ~ yikes!!! But hey you came here for some creativity right!!! I have a card to share for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge; one that suits the current mood around here!


I started with an ivory card base then layered on my DP's from the Cosmo Cricket: togetherness collection. The notebook die cut is PTI as are the felt Limitless Layers circle and Love Lives Here house. My divided sentiment is from this set and the trios of teeny hearts are from the Love Lives Here: holiday set. I added the button because it seemed a bit unfinished. 

Thanks for popping by, blessings to you ~Lisa

Fabulous card Lisa. I just love the designer paper you used, the colours, the buttons and your border punch strips.

I am so happy to hear that your DH is 'healed' and that the PT was so successful. Best of luck to him with his new job and I hope he finds the new commute to be therapeutic rather than hectic.

SUCH a sweet card this is! And amazing how well everything--buttons, DP, felt, and ink --matches. You would think they all came from the same source!

So glad your hubby is back to full health and that you get to stay put!

Really pretty card, Lisa. ;-) I love your color and paper choices, and the buttons do give it a nice finish. Glad to hear your sweetheart has recovered from the last few months! And glad to hear that his new job will allow you both to be where you want to be, in spite of the side effects that might not be ideal. I hope everything will work out and that you'll still be able to find that quality time together that you desire. Hugs and Best Wishes! ;-)

Beautiful card for the sketch. Sweet colors too, love the way you did the house. So glad to hear your DH is back to work, sorry he has to drive so far. My Son in law will have to have another surgery , I don't think he rested enough.

Hi--I don't have a daughter, hehehe. It's a little blurb about the lady who owns Di's Digi Designs--thanks for bringing that misunderstanding to my attention--I've put in a blip that hopefully helps to minimize the confusion! ;)
