A quick retirement card for one of my work colleagues using Night Nurse Nina from Dr Digi, coloured with Promarkers and then layered onto an embossed panel.

A bit of faux stitching with a black fineliner pen and a handwritten sentiment, the card is done.  And she loved it!

Dad's 70th - N is for

And here I am again, this time with the letter N from seveNty!  I've used Tea Trolly Dolly (as employee of the year) and Night Nurse Nina from Dr Digi.

Floor and wall are papers I found in my stash that I've had for far too long and the large letter N is a chipboard letter that I've coloured with a black marker and the other letters and numbers have been cut with my Sizzix Round-A-Bout alphabet set.

Next week is letter T!  I'd like to enter the following:

Night Nurse Nina

Night Nurse Nina from Dr Digi is probably going to give you night terrors especially looking at the size of the needle!  I've coloured her with Promarkers and then layered her onto a lined sheet of paper from a notepad.

The die cut across the bottom I coloured with Promarkers prior to cutting and the stethoscope charm and embroidery thread are from my stash.

Night Nurse Nina

Not too sure that the vision that is Night Nurse Nina from Dr Digi will make you feel any better.  Let's hope that the odd coloured liquid in the syringe will work and you don't need a second shot!

Bedside Manner and Some News!

I can finally reveal my good news!  I've been asked to join the small but perfectly formed Design Team for Dr Digi!!  And I've accepted the position and I am Girl Tuesday!  So every Tuesday at 10am GMT come hail, rain, shine or snow (its hailing and lightning really really hard whilst I write this!) I'll be blogging something from Dr Digi!

And to start it off, here is Night Nurse Nina with her most favoured expression.  It's one of those looks that can be applied in almost any clinical situation.  Especially if she's holding a rather large needle.  And yes, she's been heard to say, in a rather bored and patronising voice, 'it's only a little scratch' whilst jabbing the flabby white rear end of a poor male patient.  And hiding her smirk.

And Nina can be all yours too for the princely sum of a quid!  Yes one whole pound!  And she's worth every penny!!  Click here to go and buy!!

I've coloured her with Promarkers and then cut her out.  I made the clipboard from an old manilla folder - I hate to throw anything away (as I know I will be able to use it some day!) and added a a sheet of paper from Jacob's notebook - he's not noticed so I aint telling him!  I've roughed it up a little with ink plus some rolling and ripping.  I've added the critical red line and then stamped the sentiment with a little wooden Studio G alpha set.  And the clippy bit at the top are offcuts of gold card and I've used a tool thing to indent the lines.

So hope you enjoyed my first post and don't forget to come back next Tuesday for another peak at the genius of Dr Digi!  Or check out the blog - something new every day (or nearly!)  Don't forget to subscribe to the newsletter - miss it and miss out!
