Happy Wednesday, peeps! Another crazy busy day and not much time to stamp yesterday, but I needed a couple of masculine cards, so when I saw the Stamp Ink Paper challenge (cute graphic, too):
as well as the In(k)Spire Me sketch/color challenge:
I got right to work, and created two cards; one a birthday, and one a get-well:
The challenge colors are Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green, but I found these papers in an Echo Park Fall is in the Air 6x6 pad, so I decided to go with them, adding touches of Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. The birthday one uses the soon-to-be-retiring-I-thought-it-would-be-around-forever Lovely as a Tree stamped lightly in the background, with a leaf from Rooted in Nature and a sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet:
It's hard to see, but the leaf is stamped on some printed paper as well:
The get-well card uses Happy Tails and the matching punch, including a little Early Espresso heart:
Need to pop these in the mail ASAP! Thanks for popping in today!
Last night was Cassidy's third grade curriculum night, where family members come and visit the classroom and see what their children are learning. Cassidy's class is learning about the thirteen colonies, particularly Jamestown, and so they put on a game show called "Who Wants to Be a Colonist?", although it was more like Family Feud, LOL! Cassidy had a main part; she was Fred the Colonist, and she played against Dr Joe Jackson. My friend Sharon just happened to vacation in Jamestown last week and brought home a hat for Cassidy to wear, my SIL had some boots that looked the part, and Grampy made her a corncob pipe:
She nixed the pipe once she got to school...they did grow tobacco in Virginia but I guess she thought it might not be a good influence on the other students, LOL! Here she is, answering questions about the early colonies, and soundly beating Dr Joe:
All the kids did a great job and we learned a lot about the colonies!!!
(I love the name tag!!!)
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
Fun cards, and I love the colors - especially the pup and how you colored it! Looks like fun learning at School for Cassidy - and looks so cute in her colonial outfit :)
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, having just had heaps of fun color-blocking, I adore your cards... especially that tail-wagging dog!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to learn, Cassidy!

Love these cards LeAnne, especially the puppy - so cute! The colours are gorgeous. Yes RIP Lovely As A Tree - you should have heard the reactions at Onstage when everyone realised it wasn't in the new catalogue!! Cassidy's curriculum night sounds like fun - great that the children get to learn in such an interactive way, I'm sure it helps to retain the facts better and I just love her outfit!
