You're so sweet!

Hello!  I created my super sweet thank you note following The Craft's Meow November/December Sketch Challenge.  I used their set, Life is a Carnival, for the ice cream cones and sentiment.  I've been able to use that set in lots of different ways!  Maybe for Christmas I'll get a new set or two....Santa, are you listening??

You are a Winner!!

Wow! Two posts in one day! If I don't get this out tonight, I don't know when I will. Tomorrow is the first day of school for teachers. I am ready!! I am excited to start the new year with my students from last year and my new students! I am looping with my first grade class to second grade, plus I will be getting 6 new students.

For my card, I followed the sketch challenge at Simply Scrapping Crafts. You can see it below. I am enjoying all the carnival images that are out now for stampers. I've combined two stamp sets for this card. Don't you love those little star gems? I found them in my stash and was happy to have them:)
Have a great week!

Life is a Carnival

Good Morning! I have some more cards from my fun new set, "Life is a Carnival" by The Craft's Meow. They both go with a different challenge at Simply Scrapping Crafts. The first card is for the challenge to use embossing. It's been a long time since I heat embossed! It was fun to get out my pigment stamp pads and use those juicy colors:) I love this fun carousel too, look closely at the animals on it!! The inside sentiment is "Enjoy the ride of your life."

The second card is for the challenge to NOT use white or cream. I had this great dp picked out, then I realized it was all lined with white! Now as I'm looking at the aqua dp it seems to have little cream dots. We'll just ignore that, okay?!? The colors are a bit brighter and clear IRL. The flash glare seems to be covering up some details.

Hope you're having a great day!

Hello! I am so happy that I got my new stamps from The Craft's Meow today!! I inked them up right away. The first card I made uses the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 127. I just love this image and the fun words that you can match with it. Almost makes me want to ride a roller coaster....NOT.
