Oh...and speaking of challenges...it's Thursday and that means it's time for another fun challenge at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog!! Once again, our hostess this week is my very talented friend and Design Teamie, Iulia...and here's what she's chosen as this week's theme...
"Furry Friends"
Hmmmm...I gotta tell ya, I don't really "do" animals! The fur is always such a challenge for me! Oh...wait...this IS a challenge! OK...fine...fur! UGH!! Oh, but wait...Mo has created some new images...you can check 'em out in her online store HERE! I popped over there last week and look what I found...
Now...you may be wondering how I could possibly pair the sentiment "You're too kind" with a nurse holding a hypodermic needle!! LOL!! I admit, it does seem a bit incongruent!! Except that I am a nurse...NICU nurse, to be exact...and when I retired, some of my colleagues (who are also nurses) treated me to dinner and gave me a fabulous pink & green carry-on suitcase for all my many travels!! Hence...this darling Mo Manning "Nurse" image...and a "thank you" sentiment!!
I love so many of Mo's images...but when I first spotted "Nurse"...well, I just knew I had to have her!! How cool that she's holding a furry little teddy bear...perfect for this week's challenge! hehehe!!
Some of you may know that, in addition to finding fur challenging to color, I also struggle with making "Clean and Simple" cards!! Sooooo...once again, this started out as a "Clean and Simple" card...partly because I wanted to really showcase this darling little nurse...and partly because I wanted to challenge myself!! Soooooo...what'cha think?? Maybe I'm just getting a teensy bit closer?? Ahhh...c'mon...humor me! hehehe!
Here's my card "recipe"...
- Cardstock: Very Vanilla & MellowMoss (Stampin' Up)
- DPs: The Paper Studio's Sweet Pea colletion

So...now you'll want to pop on over to Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog HERE so you can check out the furry gorgeousness by my fun and talented DT sistahs!!
