Feel Better!

I have an obsession with all things crafty and cute. So... it's no surprise that I feel head-over-heels in love with these sweet Pure Innocence images. Ahhh! :) Several weeks ago, I asked the artist if she would consider drawing a 'nurse'... and look what she came up with!!! Eeek! I'm so excited!

For those of you who don't know... I've been a registered nurse at a children's hospital for almost 12 years (Man! I'm getting old! Yikes!) -- and I've always wanted a nursing stamp that felt like 'me'. I couldn't have imagined anything more perfect. Thanks, Heather!!! :)

I've been wanting to try out Becky's Compose a Card Challenge & I finally got my chance. AND... I've been dying to try my hand at hand stitching a sentiment. The latest Moxie Fab World Challenge is to use floss on your project, and that was just the extra push I needed to give it a whirl. It was a lot easier than I expected and I really love the design element that it added. I was so excited when my little thermometer embellishment that I've been hoarding worked perfectly as my exclamation mark. :)

Thanks so much for visiting! Have a great weekend. :)
