Just Us Girls #534 - Word Week

Hi friends!  This week Just Us Girls is honoring our Heroes with our Word Week challenge.

Who is your hero during this difficult time?  Health care worker, grocery store clerk, transportation workers, etc.  There are so many out there working so we can stay home.

 

My heroes are my two nieces who just happen to be nurses.  My older niece has been travelling from Buffalo, NY to Staten Island, NY a few days a week to help health care workers there in addition to working her regular nurse's job.  My younger niece just started her nursing career at the end of March, and found out two weeks ago that she contracted the virus, probably from working, although we aren't sure.  She is fine and had mild symptoms.  As of yesterday, she was back at work.

 

So I made two of these cards to give to each of them.  I started by using the free digital image Call the Shots from MFT.  It was so generous of them to release four of their Birdie Brown sets for free.  You can find them on their blog (for some reason I had trouble linking it).  I printed out the digital set and colored the nurse image.  I die cut it with a stitched rectangle die and also die cut the sentiment using a sentiment label die.  I cut the ends into flags.  I used a new pattern paper from Waffle Flower which I die cut with another stitched rectangle die.  These were adhered to the pattern paper base with craft foam.  The nurse is shimmered up a bit for some sparkle along with some crystals in the background. 

 

You can see more from our JUGs design team and our new guest for May, Deborah Frings, on the

JUGs blog.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
