I saw my surgeon this morning, and to my pleasant surprise, he will not be doing surgery on my foot tomorrow like I was anticipating. yippee! Having my foot elevated, along with new antibiotics, seems to be improving the infection. Another week of doing what I've been doing since Friday and all should be good ... at least it better be! It's been a long haul ... as my original surgery was nine weeks ago and I NEED to be at my job.
I was able to hand sketch this card, then assemble it within a very short time period last night. I get scolded at the mention of doing any hard core stamping! LOL! I just had to tackle Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #02 this week. I used the new Loop to Loop Rub-Ons and Hand Drawn Designer Paper from the Level Three Hostess Bundle, Hand Drawn.
I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this situation .... the new catalog states that the coordinating colors for the Hand Drawn Designer Paper are Baja Breeze, Old Olive, Riding Hood Red, and Basic Gray. I hold Old Olive up to this "happy birthday" paper and my eyes say it doesn't match! I see Certainly Celery! Does anyone else?

Hmmm....I don't have this paper, but from the looks of your card it DOES seem to be Certainly Celery. Glad to hear your foot is getting better on it's own, and my prayers will be with you that you will be all bette and back at work (if you REALLY want that - he he he ;) ) in no time!!!
I agree, Certainly Celery seems a better match to me too....your card is gorgeous Nancy!! Glad to hear your foot is getting better! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Great sketch and card. Yeah - it does look more like celery. I've found a couple of errors in the new catty, too. Just email DS. :)
Definitely looks Celery to me...super cute card and that is great news about your foot!!

Glad to hear that things are getting better for you!

Fantastic card for the sketch! I thought the same thing about matching up a green to the hand drawn designer paper, I used Kiwi Kiss but it was a toss up between that and Certainly Celery.
I'm so sorry to hear that your having such a hard time with your foot.
Take care.
Hi Nancy ... I'm sorry to hear about your foot and hope all ends well! I wanted to say thank you for stopping by and commenting on my card for Karen's sketch challenge. I love, love your card and I have to agree with you that it certainly looks like certainly celery to me ... lol, but seriously it does!
Nancy...I am so happy to hear that you won't need surgery! Wonderful news!
Your doodle cupcake card is precious! Love it!
Great news! Cute card!
It sure looks like certainly celery to me. Great card! Glad you are getting better.

Awesome card! YOu still got it going on, with injury and all! So glad you don't have to have the surgery, hope you recover quickly now!
Hey Nancy! I love this! I didn't get this when we had the chance but I so wish I had now! Glad to hear all is healing well! You'll be dancing in no time!
I love this hostess set, wish I had pre-ordered it. Great job with this, looks really good!
I haven't seen the bundle in person, so I couldn't help with colours although by the pic, I would have to say that celery would be a better colour match than olive!
Fabulous card, Nancy!!
Love this card Nancy! I so should have gotten that bundle!!!
This is SO SWEET! I'm so bummed that I used up all of these Hey Cupcake rub-ons. They need to include an entire sheet of them. I see certainly celery too.
I'm glad to hear that your foot is getting better.
This is delicious! I'm with you - I think it's Certainly Celery, not Old Olive :)
I'm happy to hear you won't be needing surgery again - rest up and get better soon!!
This is just FABULOUS -- I agree it is celery not olive
I love your cupcake card Nancy! A fantastic use of the paper and rub-ons.
This card is too cute!! Love the colors. I have to agree...Certainly Celery is a perfect match. Beautiful job!!
So happy to hear that you don't need surgery. Keeping you in my thoughts & prayers.
TFS...
This is so bright and fun! Great card!
That is just the sweetest cupcake b'day card! Now I am wishing I would have picked that package in level 3.
I am so glad to hear you won't need surgery Nancy! Make sure you keep that foot up!
This card is just adorable Nancy. I have found that color problem a few times. Kind of frustrating too. I usually go with the color that my eyes see!!! Great job with this stamp bundle!!!
