Nurses Day is May 6th!

Hopefully, my little chick doesn't see this post before she gets this card! Eeeeek! Sometimes that happens ya know! *sigh* But I told her "no blog peeking" this week (tee-hee!) so I'm hoping it'll still be a surprise when she gets it. I'm always on the hunt for nurse images and when I saw this little gal from Prairy Fairy Designs, that was it! I HAD to have her! Those fat little cheeks and glasses just CRACK me up! Did ya check out that syringe and bed pan in her hand! OMG, she's hilarious!

I started by printing the image onto some Classic Crest CS and colored her with my Copics. I stitched her onto some SU Real Red CS and then matted her to this great Stampin Up DP. And get this, the ribbon... it was tied on a gift my little chick bought me last year and I saved it. PERFECT, right? Tee-hee! Ok, then I printed this sentiment and punched it out with my circle punches and added this little felt flower underneath. I think it sort of resembles the flowers in the DP, don't you? Sooooo CUTE! I hope she likes it!

Okee dokee, that's it from the hen house today! Don't forget to tell a nurse "Happy Nurses Day" on Friday! I know it's not said often enough, but we appreciate all that you do! {{{hen hugs}}}

You know me..... you can NEVER have too much SHUGAH! LOL!! Ok, I think this is my last Valentine card for you this year. I just couldn't resist using this ADORABLE image for this year's Valentine's Day cards. Ain't she just TOO STINKIN CUTE!! This was one of those "LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT" images for me. And she's just one of the many SUPER CUTE images over at Prairie Fairy Designs. I fell head over heels for this little cutie and couldn't resist picking up a few others too! Now I'm just itching to use 'em!!

For today's card, I Followed The Recipe in the Catered Crop's new FTR5 challenge! Our inspiration for this week's recipe was Denise's card HERE!

Soooooo CUTE! Ok, so here are the ingredients for this week's challenge:

• Cardstock – red, pink and white CHECK!
• Pattern Paper – geometric or repeating patterns CHECK!
• Stamps– an image with a sheep/lamb, mother/child, kisses, or a sentiment about love CHECK!
• Color Mediums – Copic markers, black or blue ink CHECK, CHECK!
• Tools – art sponges; square or scallop die cuts or punches; embossing folders CHECK, CHECK, CHECK!
• Embellishments – ribbon, brads, tag CHECK, CHECK, CHECK!!
• Techniques– sponging or air brushing a sky CHICK! (Whoops! I meant CHECK!)

Ok, so as you can see even though I used almost ALL the ingredients, my card looks totally different. That's the GREAT thing about the FTR challenges! You can use one, two, three or as many of the ingredients as you want on your project. So let's face it, almost ANY card will work right? You betcha, so get your cards linked up to the new FTR#5 challenge and you could be the lucky winner of a $30 gift certificate to Stampotique Originals. WOWZERS!! Now that's what I'm squawking about!! LOL!! I'm also entering this card into Prairie Fairy's "Fairy Fun Friday" challenge. Whew - say that three times real fast!! {snort!}

Okee dokee, that's it from the hen house today! I hope you hens have a MARVELOUS Monday!! {{{hen hugs}}}
