Yes, the title is a deliberate pun and this card is going to new neighbors who just moved into the neighborhood. They have a cute garden gnome in their yard so I thought this image would work well to welcome them. Image is from Mo's Digital Pencil. I did a CAS card with a masculine feel since I have no idea about their tastes or preferences and simple always works.
I used:
ProMarkers
QuicKutz dies
Kraft CS
Linen embossing folder (yellow CS) (scrap)
Bleached CS (green) (scrap)
Challenges:
Crafts Galore Encore
Creative Craft Cottage

Update: My shoulder is healing slowly and is better than it was even a week ago. Most activities are still being done by using my left hand/arm but I'm able to piece together a CAS card or two as long as I don't overdo it. Typing is still forbidden, except the occasional, one-handed, left hand, hunt-and-peck, 10 minute foray, and not much gets done in that short span of time. But the healing process is ongoing and I hope to be back to normal (an odd word to describe me! lol) within the month. I figure I can give up brushing my hair with my right hand if it means I can have a crafting session for half an hour. Thanks for your prayers.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

So glad to hear your shoulder is getting better. Keep up the good work on getting it to heal and don't overuse it. Just be sure and keep your "secretary" around for a while longer now. LOL!
Love your gnome card and know the neighbors will too! So cute!

So glad to hear that your shoulder is improving. Just make sure you allow it time to heal and don't rush things! Yeah - hair doesn't need to be brushed - crafting is much more fun anyway :D
This is a great card and thanks for sharing it with us at Creative Moments,
