My husband's birthday is in early February. He is an avid walker, but has not been able to walk as often or as long since his last knee surgery in late June. It was a difficult recovery, even down to falling and splitting the stitches three weeks after surgery. This, of course, required an emergency trip to the hospital, another in-patient stay, debriding and re-stitching. Fortunately, none of the kneecap and joint replacement area below was invaded, only the skin layers down to the knee cap (yes, they replace the knee cap after the joint replacement).
Celebrating his ability to now be out walking in our wooded country scenery, I have decided on a woodland embossed card with a cascade leaf "bouquet" for his card. I really like the peek-a-boo sentiment area...my first time trying that idea, and I always love ink distressed embossed backgrounds, particular with the woodland embossing folder! Take a peek below at the finished card inside and out:
