Happy Nurse's Day

I made another card using the Paper Shelter Cute Nurses and a sentiment from TLC, Create. Naturally as a nurse myself this is a holiday that I celebrate, lol. It's just funny since the hat is still a symbol of nursing and nurses haven't worn hats for MANY years! And now they basically are wearing haz mat suits due to Covid.

I'll bee there for you.

 I found another image that I had printed and just hadn't colored (which is now retired)....so sad. I feel that bees are so important so that they continue to pollinate our flowers and our circle continues. I added Spectrum Noir to the wings.

Nuts for You

 Well I'm trying to get my Christmas cards done for the month which is getting harder and harder at this time of year when I am thinking of flowers instead of snow.  I have images that I have sitting that I have been wanting to color so I have been trying to get them done. And this one just makes me smile with this cutie. Another Mo Manning image and it reminds me of my son since we have so many squirrels in our yard.
