Sorry to hear about the battles at your work. It must be so hard dealing with animals when it comes to those times. I hope your spirits get lifted soon and your card is so cute!
Hey Jen, that sounds like a physically and emotionally draining time. :( Sometimes we just need to hang out in our shell a bit to recuperate! I am so glad you took a break. This is a very sweet, fresh, pretty card! I love the dimensional butterfly :) BIG hugs and I hope this week is much improved!
Hugs to you Jen :) This card is very sweet, the image and butterfly are so pretty.
Jen, I can't imagine how difficult your job is. I wanted to be a vet until I volunteered at a clinic in highschool and decided there was no way I could handle it!!
So I decided to work with sick people instead...go figure!!
Your card is gorgeous. :)
I hope work settles out soon, and you can get back to you!
Oh one of those weeks eh!!!
I remember them, especially going right through with no lunch break!
Not surprised you felt drained and mojo-less, but seems it just needed a bit of coaxing and look what you made :0)
Really pretty sping time card to brighten anyone's day :0)
Had to smile at Kasia's comment...I chose animals because I knew I wouldn't hack working with ill people!!!

This is such a sweetly pretty card. That image is perfectly coloured and goes so well with the stamped base. Nice! Hope you're heading into a dull, boring, routine, nail-clipping kind of week at work.
Oh Jen, I certainly hope that this week gets off to a better start. I think it is the time of year too. I'm ready for the days to get a bit longer. Leaving and coming home in the dark takes a toll too. Sending you hugs my friend.
Your card is so soft and sweet. Love the soft, spring colors.
Sounds pretty tough, but also a test of your character as well. Your card is so sweet and perfect for the coming months.
This is so simple but so very pretty, Jen! I love the subtle stamping on the card base and the soft colors you used.
Sorry to hear things were rough at work last week. I hope things start to look up!
ugh, sorry for the tough week at work...I can't imagine...hang in there...love today's card..it's sooooo spring-y!
Welcome back mojo! This is such a pretty card Jen, I adore those spring colours!
oh jen, what a horrible week, you must be emotionally exhausted, i could never work in the environment you work in whether people or animals, i would take it all to heart too mucn. to put out something so beautiful is a credit to you. hope this week is a little more cherry for you ... xxx
No wonder your mojo checked out, what a stressful week. Lots of hugs and hope your mojo is on the mend. Though, I see no signs of mojo weekness in this beauty.
Wow, Jen, this is really beautiful!! I love how you've used the challenge colours. Thank you for joining in at Just Add Ink this week; glad we could help to kick-start your mojo (which I really don't think was missing - this is gorgeous).
Love this card, CAS perfection. I said to my 6 year old the other week that I'd lost my mojo and he replied, "Mojo is a villian in the x-men", which totally made me laugh.
Gorgeous! Doesn't look like there's been any missing mojo at ALL! Thanks for playing at Just Add Ink this week
a beautiful card from what sounds like a beautiful lady. You guys do such an awesome and unenviable job. We had a lovely lady that looked after us when we had to put our little matey down. Support from you guys helped us get through our loss. Your card is stunning and I hope you are having a better week.

What a sweet spring design Jen! I like the way the butterfly is bursting out of the frame. I think with a job like yours you need a balance of good outcomes to help you cope with with the bad outcomes and when it seems all bad like last week you can't help but go under a bit. Hope this week is a little more balanced and that the sloth impression can be wrapped up! Vicky x
I am glad you found some MOJO to create this beautiful card. I love how you have used the colours and the simplicity of the design. Thanks for playing with our colour challenge this week at JAI.
