Cover your eyes Simone 'cause this isn't pretty. You all remember Oscar winner Nurse Ratched, named the fifth greatest villain by the film industry for her role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? She's back and ready to hit a few of the parties after the Academy Awards. Although she's aged a bit and put on a few pounds, she found a fabulous new designer... Oscar de la Rental. She's wearing his lovely sequined uniform with pearl trim. Completing her ensemble are black patent leather orthopedic shoes and a gold and diamond stethoscope.
You guessed it... it's TeaPot Tuesday and we're headed to the red carpet. Our cards are going to Lauren, an aspiring young actress (and future Oscar winner) who has been sidelined by serious illness. If you'd like to send her a card, you can check out the Destination Station here. I won't be sending this card to Lauren... I'm sure she has had her fill of nurses and injections.
edited to add: Special thanks to Anne Ryan, who sent me this hilarious nurse stamp. I've been waiting for the perfect time to ink it up, and MMTPT134 was it!

Too funny! She might be the winner on this challenge. I can't say I would want her for my nurse and if Simone is smart he'll shut and cover his eyes. He might want one of those gags to bite down on, I would hate for him to disturb those in ears reach. Haha!
You did a great job of creating a fun loving card, that would definitely bring a smile to anyones face. Love it, TFS

I remember that movie clearly! Well, she at least has nice accessories - gold stethoscope, etc., - although she is looking at Oscar a bit odd - don't you think?! Love the card - made me laugh, especially your commentary!

That is just too funny and yes...Lauren is sick of being poked by nurses taking blood samples and injecting pain killers! Love how the nurse is about to give Oscar one in the rear! Many thanks for your efforts on Lauren's behalf!

I heard Nurse Rachet was in the house! Yikes! She does look a little on the heavy side...but then coming from someone in the same boat, all I can say is, it happens! But you can't tell me she doesn't know how to dress for the occassion...just look at the bling on her uni! Tee hee! This is about the most awesome card ever...surely it will get an award! Giggle! You did a wonderful job creating a real live Oscar! Ha ha! You go Hilda girl! I love this! And you know Lauren will get such a kick out of this. It's so funny! Bwhahaha!

Ok, I'm sorry. I have enjoyed reviewing all the cards that have come before yours, but THIS is in a class by itself. Wow, girl, you have some sense of humor. This design is nothing short of amazing- Nurse Ratched in the spotlight, in front of poor Oscar with her diamond stethescope. I would run swiftly if I ever see her in person... Get ready to receive your prize.

So, where can I get Oscar de la Rentals contact details! Diamond stethescope? Great fun! This is definitely a repeat smile and grin card - and what a great way to use the stamp for the first time (but definitely not the last, I'm sure). Keep having fun!
