Lend a Hand - Leading Ladies

They're here! They're here!  Okay, now that my overly excited cheering is behind us, I am so excited to share the two newest Leading Ladies from Ellen Hutson, the Teacher Lady and the Medical Lady.  By popular request, these ladies were born out of what we all know to be true - the ladies we love who work in these fields are incredible, thoughtful, often selfless supporters doing amazing work in the world.

It was so much fun dreaming up the accessories for this bunch, thinking of some of the items they'd need to do their jobs and make life easier, and like always, I couldn't wait to stamp, color, cut, and play with all those little bits.

What I love about the Medical Lady is that she could be a nurse, or a doctor, a physician's assistant, radiologist, or so, so much more. I couldn't help but include a few sentiments for our furrier friends, too, because I was picturing her as a Veterinarian, caring for all those pets the Cat and Dog Ladies brought with them.

I also had a little fun with the shape that was left after cutting out the Medical Lady from white cardstock and whipped up a little tag to attach the next time I find myself offering an apologetic peace offering:

Of course, the Medical Lady isn't the only helper hitting the scene this month - the Teacher Lady makes my heart pitter patter.  A former teacher myself, I love that she can hold a arm full of equipment, but still put it all down and get to work when she needs to. She makes me think of all the fantastic ladies who teach in so many ways, and in so many places - in the classroom, at home, on the field, in the water. She shares what she knows, and she really makes her mark.

I have lots more ideas for what these ladies will do, but for now, I am just so excited they're here and ready to be put to use by so many creative people.

She's so class-y, that one.

You can grab your own ladies, both stamps and dies, in the Ellen Hutson shop, now!
