Paintchip Stlla

I have a couple more cards I have made using the new images from Totally Stampalicious and thought I should go on an get them posted. It won't be long and school will be out and I'll have lots more time to stamp! For this one I used Nurse Stella! This sentiment still cracks me up every time I read it! In honor of ICU, I used some retro hospital colors, Blush Blossom and Sage Shadow. Add in a little paint chip in shades of black (more retro stuff from my stash) and I think it works pretty well with this cute nurse with her retro nurse duds.
Just a quick post for tonight. Not sure what tomorrow will bring. My granddaughter (age 2) is going in for surgery tomorrow to have a large birthmark removed from her forehead. You can almost see it in the photo of her on my sidebar, but it is right at the hairline, about 1 1/2" in diameter and sticks up about an inch high. It's starting to become a problem for her and there is finally enough skin around the area that the doctors feel they can fix it with very little visible scarring. She will be under general anesthesia, so even though the procedure is rather simple, Gramma is really worried. After that is all done, I have to head off to my last night of a professional development class I have been taking for the last eight weeks. I'm gonna be one tired puppy tomorrow evening!
Thanks for stopping by!!

This card was made with the Fat Mouse Flower set. The papers are from K and Co. Image was colored with Copic markers with a little sparkle added to the flower with Stickles. The border and corner punches are by Martha Stewart and those little white flowers were crocheted with my very own hands! I even really sewed the buttons onto the centers! Now here is another card I made for the hop:

This card features a set that was a favorite of mine the first time I saw it on the Bugaboo site! I just love the sentiment!! How true is that???? Papers are by SEI and image is colored with Copics. Kept this one pretty simple with the all the patterns in the papers. The stamp set is called Stella Nurse.
