Feel Better…

Hello!  Happy Tuesday!    Did you know it is National Nurses Week?   To be honest, neither did I until I did a quick Google search.    But luckily, I made a card with this cute little nurse image from Whimsy & Stars Studio.     Timing is everything!

Although I made a Get Well card, wouldn’t she work great to make a card for your favorite nurse? 

 

 

Did you notice that I tried my hand at a hair color other than blonde?   I don’t know why this is so hard for me.  Maybe because I’m blonde?   To be honest, she was blonde first but her hair seemed to blend with the Band Aid too much.  So this one is take two.

Hi Cheryl, this is a stunning card and I'm delighted that you wanted to share it with us at Crafty Ann's. Unfortunately, 3 entries per challenge is our limit and this is your fourth so it won't be eligible for the draw or top three although your other 3 gorgeous entries will. I'm delighted to have had the opportunity to see it though.
