I know I am in awe of all my fellow challenge design team members and their fabulous creations they submitted to inspire you all.

Happy Birthday LeeAnna!!!

So another darling coworker celebrated her birthday
on August 6th. I know this is a little late to post but she never
got the card until just recently because she hasn't worked in Paediatrics for a bit....  so she finally got it which means I can finally post it here.
I chose the most cutest stamp EVER... Ellie in Oz! 

You can find her here in the Paper Nest Dolls shop.

Isn't she adorable??? Of course I used Copics to colour her:

Happy Birthday Rosanne!!

So a coworker of mine had her birthday not too long ago and as some of you are aware I make the birthday cards for all of my coworkers for everyone to sign. I take great pleasure in seeing

 their gratitude for a homemade card. My friend Rosanne really likes to garden so I picked an image that I thought reflected on that. Her name is Avery, she is a digital stamp from Sassy Cheryl's. She is available on a digital stamp sheet called 

Avery's Summer Afternoon. 

Isn't she adorable?
