4 Challenges in 1

I had a bit of an accident last week, swinging my grandaughter around I managed to tear the tendons in my shoulder, I have been getting withdrawal symptoms as I have had to stay off the computer and away from card making but today got the better of me and thank goodness I am partially left handed
So I decided to make a card that went with a few of my favourite blog challenges
