Just 3 days after I turned 50 and I am forgetting to even put comments on my cards before I upload them - where is that Ginko?
I made this card using the fun Midnight Madness Sketch from a week ago (if you haven't checked out those sketches before - you should run and check them out right now). I also made the card for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge a week ago (at least I think it was a week ago - did I tell you I am forgetting things a lot?). The challenge involved the Brickyard 500 which I think is a car race or a truck race, but I only have a couple of car images and they aren't race cars; I did use some checkered paper though! The card is going to Jess Merrick who loves racing but has been trying to recover from a very horrible accident involving a dog and some sharp teeth (very sharp). I thought I would send a sweet nurse image - not as cool as all the race car images but I think it has a very comforting feel to it.
I love this image. It is my first WhiffOfJoy image (purchased from the very cool StampandCreate website). I won a gift certificate in the random drawing on the Midnight Madness Challenge and was able to purchase the image (I am on stamp restriction so that gift certificate was a blessing!).

This is dynamite Nutzi. I truly love that image, your colors, gingham, sentiment diecut and everything else as a matter of fact. Gosh 2 challenges, you're da girl. It's horrible, I've missed at least 2 MM challenges - I know, no more royalty for me. Just can't seem to get mojo going and family issues. I'm a lovin' yours though. I think you are evolving through these sketches too. I know it helped me!! TFS and Happy 50th. I hate to tell ya, but you'll need more than Ginko. In fact, when I turned 40, I started taking Ginko and it must have made my mind and body remember how to get pregnant, as I became pregnant with my 2nd child at 40. So, now, I don't get anywhere near that scary stuff!!! LOL!! Your b-day card sitting on my desk. I've come down with sinus infection. Ugghh...sometimes life ain't a fair!! TFS!

What a great image to spend some of your MMSC windfall on--this is incredibly cute! I love how you popped up your sweet nurse. Great use of the sketch, too. This will certainly bring a smile from the patient

Nancy this is just adorable. I love this very cute image and you use of black and white for the background colors. It really highlights your focal point well.
Now Nancy-we have to talk Girlfriend.....50 is FABULOUS-really your mind is not going....it's the hormones...lol Once you get over that part-just put on your favorite pair of earrings, some glitter in your hair, and Sephora makeup and go conquer the world!!!
