Hi all! Things have been really crazy busy, but crazy in a GOOD way. You may have noticed that I've only been posting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays lately for my challenge groups....well, that's because I just started a new job working OUTSIDE the home. For the last ten years, I've been a transcriptionist working from home as well as raising my youngest daughter. Times are changing though and the company I transcribe for is going to "electronic charting," which means that they don't need my services as much as they used to and my hours have been cut WAYYYYY back. I've been feeling bored at home for a while now anyway, so I made the decision to start looking for a job in addition to transcribing reports. I was lucky enough to find one right away working in a family medical office as a receptionist/registrar...you know, the girl at the desk who takes your insurance card and your co-pay or the girl who sets up your next follow-up appointment and gives you a receipt before you leave?....yep, that's my new job. I just started this past Monday and so far I REALLY like it. The people are nice, I like the medical office setting, I get to interact with patients....and....I get to wear scrubs!!....yes, that part makes me especially happy! :) :) So anyway, if my posts seem sporadic again, that is why. I'm sure I'll pick up on posting more....I just need to give myself a few weeks to get used to going TO a job again. :)
So anyway.....you didn't come here to listen to a bunch of rambling. You came to see a card, right? Okay, here's one I made for Kara's new teacher using an a la modes girl that I bought from MFT (my very first a la modes girl)....this one is called
An Apple for Teacher.
Papers are by My Mind's Eye (Sweetest Thing--Honey) and the layout is this week's
Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch. the tab, scalloped border, flower, and leaves are all MFT Die-namics. Oh, and I also added some Stickles to the image (the apple leaf, her belt, shirt cuff, earrings, and hair band.
Copics used: 0, R20, R22, R24, R27, C1, C3, RV21, RV23, E00, E11, E13, Y21, Y32, YR24, E33, YG11, YG13, YG17
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back on Tuesday with the new Friends of Flourishes challenge.

Very pretty card. I like the papers. I'm glad you like your new job, though I'm surprised your happy about wearing scrubs. Although I'm sure they are very comfortable, I always thought they were so ugly to wear and was glad myself I didn't have a job where I had to wear them. But then, I have to wear an ugly hunter green shirt and khaki pants at my job! Ugh! I need a job where I can dress more fashionably. Perhaps a high end clothing store?
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet. I am sure her teacher will love this.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new job. I work about 35 hours a week and try to post as often as I can. I am sure you will find some crafty time too. :)
Hugs~
Congratulations on your new job Denise! Your warm smile and personality are going to uplift all the patients who come in the door!
