I am a late thirty-something wife and mother of 2 perfect kids! :) My son is 9 and LOVES baseball and my daughter is 5 and getting so excited to go to kindergarten round-up in a few weeks! Where have my little ones gone? I have been an RN for 15 years and the last 5 as a full time nephrology charge nurse in a large dialysis unit. My days usually start at 5am and (hopefully) get off at 3:30. You other nurses know that doesn't always happen! Now for some PTI trivia about me:

Oh what a sweet card!! I love all things PTI! Amazing how busy you are and yet you can still pull off such beautiful cards! Good to meet you, Amy and thanks for the great music while viewing your blog!
This card is so fun Amy! So much to love about it! I love learning a little bit more about you! Thanks so much for sharing.
Love the ribbon. Great card.
Amy, this is so beautiful - I just may CASE this for my Easter card this year! I loved reading about you!! {HUGS}
Oh my goodness how I love this card!! I am a HUGE fan of kraft, and you used it to perfection.
This is so cute!! I am so fascinated by how you did the top of your card! Is it 2 pieces and the top part is distressed and then attached? I really love the little butterfly on the ribbon as an accent...that was the first thing that caught my eye! So cute!
Love Plum Pudding - I must add it to my stash.
Fun card Amy! Way to combine those challenges.
What a sweet card. How fun to have your Paper Dolls group.

Love getting to know more about you and your family!
Gorgeous. I think that's the most perfect Easter card I've ever seen. It screams spring. That butterfly in the center of the ribbon is the perfect touch. I love this card.
I love the butterfly in the center of the ribbon! SO cute!! This is a totally adorable card! The yellow frame looks amazing for your focal point! Love it girl! Miss you already! :)
Love your card and I also love the combo of Plum Pudding and Ripe Avocado! Yay for all things PTI!

Amy,
I love this especially the ribbon treatment at the top. I need to make a few Easter cards!
Beautiful colors. Lovely card.
Wow, what a great Easter card! Loving the colors and of course the eggs :) Thanks for sharing about yourself, also, its fun to read!
Such a sweet card - love those Easter eggs and the pretty Springy colors!
its an adorable card!! love all the details you've added!
lovely!! the texture and the ribbon treatment are gorgeous!
Oh Amy, I totally have to CASE this card. I have all these supplies but I wouldn't have thought of this. I love what you've created here! It's been great getting to know you better. My DH used to be a nephrology RN for about 15 years. He just switched to endoscopy.
I LOVE that ribbon treatment and the sweet flower background. You're a busy mom AND nurse - wow!
Your card is SO great (for BOTH challenges, lol!). Love getting to know the other dolls :-). I have so much respect for RNs- you do such a great job!! And, my ds (7) has just entered the world of baseball... I don't think our family is ready, lol. Wow! And I thought soccer and dance was a commitment- ha!
You always put so much thought into your cards by adding so many little details. This card is no different. Love the tiny pearls on the egg as well as around the sentiment, the strategically well placed buttons, the twine around the butterfly, the impression on the mat stack, the inking and distressing around the edges. That's why your projects are so amazing! It was nice to learn a bit more about you. Kudos to you for starting your days at 5 a.m.! So glad to be in this group with you.
oh my goodness Miss Amy, what's not to LOVE about this card?!! The cute little white background flowers stamped on the Kraft, those adorable Easter eggs framed so perfectly, and that FABULOUS ribbon treatment, topped off with a butterfly, WOWIE, love this awesome card!!!
Amy this is awesome! SO many great details, I keep going back to make sure I saw them all. Love that perfect bow! :)
So sweet and so perfect for Easter. There's something about pastels and Kraft that really catches my eye.
Gorgeous color combo! Such a cheerful and cute card. TFS. :)
WOW...I love the white on kraft. Esp. paired with the purple!!
What a darling Spring/Easter card with the frame filled with eggs. Your color combo is awesome, and the ribbon & butterfly pop.
Super cute! Perfect colors and time to be thinking about Easter cards!
Oh my, these are absolutely stunning--all of the creations that I am seeing on your blogs. I just discovered the Paper Dolls and am so excited that I have added all of you to my favorites for inspiration. Thank you!
Really love this card Amy! The colours are just so fresh and fun. Really gets me in the mood for Spring!
This card is so beautiful... I plan to CASE it for sure! Nice color combo!
A-dorable, Amy! Your ribbon treatment with the butterfly on top is my favorite touch, but I noticed your distressing right away and love it, especially on the eggs! What a fun idea this blog hop is!
The distressing with the white ink adds to much to the card...love your ribbon layers!
