Get well soon....

Morning Peeps!!
Hope you are all having a super weekend! we are having a really nice,chilling family time weekend and I am loving it.
Yesterday little Mo went next door to play with his best buddy Sophia so I had some fun playing with another of Krista's new images,Sparkle Nurse. My 2 favourite aunties are both awesome nurses so I really enjoyed playing with this one.
I made the backing paper myself in word, making sure to highlight on of the 'get well soon' in red so it stood out a little more.
I coloured her in and cut her out and then embossed one of my big tags with a sizzix folder...can't remember what its called though!! I ripped a bit of paper from my scraps box and then added the cute little sentiment that comes with her...there are 4 I think....

Little Mo is allergic to plasters so we always have some stretchy bandage and gauze in our cupboard which was perfect because I stole some to add to my card base and tags, stapled onto the big tag with kiss shapes for getting well!!!
A little bit of washi tape is always fun to stick somewhere and I love this one which is kinda clinincal looking so that got added to the tag too!! 

Right, offto do some reading now. I started the Hunger Games trilogy on Monday night and I am now on the last book, Mockingjay'. I LOVE a good read and have really enjoyed these books, I can't wait for the film to come out here in the UK next week so I can watch the film!!

Thank you for popping in on me!
Huge hugs Lou xxxx
