Inspiration Challenge

I decided to make an Inspiration Challenge card. My inspiration was based on this wall print from Grandin Road. Mine didn't turn out how I had it pictured in my mind, but I like how it turned out anyway. I know it's a winter scene, and we want to be done with winter, but I really liked that print. I used SU Shimmery White & Black paper. The ink is Black. The stamp is SU Lovely as a Tree, and SaltBox Studio for the fence. I stamped the background first, then the foreground, and then added the fence. I shaded in the pink and blue sunset with Pebbles Chalk and added Opal and Silver Stickles. Then I added the 2 ribbons at the bottom.

Now for my next card, I actually made it a couple of days ago. It is kind of "plain" for me, but I really like it. (Plus it is PURPLE) I used SU Lovely Lilac, (one of my favorites) and Gina K Pure Luxury white. I stamped the white edge & the main image with SU Botanical Blooms. I used the Martha Stewart border punch on the white edge. I didn't have the size tag punch that I wanted, so I cut it out myself and layered it with designer paper and white. I added a white ribbon and the purple fiber through an eyelet to finish it off! I really like how it turned out. I've learned that when you are punching a border, it's much easier to use thinner cardstock!!

I worked Friday, luckily, only for 8 hours. It was so busy in the Emergency Dept. We only saw 25 patients, but the majority of them came in within 4 hours. At least half of them needed EKG's right away because they either had, Shortness of Breath, Chest Pain or Abdominal Pain. (It is a protocol). When I left at 4pm, there were still 12 patients left over for the PM shift. Sometimes on a Friday we can see anywhere up to 35-40 patients over 8 hours. I was really glad to leave!! I worked 8 hours today, and have to work tomorrow, on Easter for 8 hours. We were pretty busy today, but hopefully tomorrow won't be too busy due to the Holiday.

Monday will probably be quite busy, but I have the day off!! Yay!!!!

When I got home today, I had a surprise package from my Mom.

She sent me these rolls of ribbon!! I'm going to have to get a 5th container to put my ribbon in!!

As you can see, the 4 that I have are quite full now!!Well, I hope everyone has/had a nice Easter!!!

P.S. Hunter is feeling much better, back to his "normal self" per his Mom!!
Noah now has strep throat!! The poor little guy, but everyone else is healthy!!!
