Hello! I am so glad you are here! Yesterday was the first day of school for us and thankfully it was only a two day school week! It seems like no matter how prepared you are, things are still a bit hectic. Add to that mix a new principal and two new supervisors at my school and let's just say I'm so thankful it's Friday!
Before my summer break ended I tried to make several birthday cards so I would have plenty on hand. I also tried to use some stamps I either hadn't used before or hadn't seen ink in a while. Today's card features one I haven't used much. This is all one image and could be bought individually or as part of a set of 'packed' items. I decided to try coloring only a few of the images and it didn't turn out too bad.
You will also notice I went back to my 'go to' layout! Old habits die hard!! I did manage to sneak another strip of ribbon on there and I noticed this particular ribbon is almost gone-makin' progress!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderfully creative weekend!

Oh I know how crazy your first couple days must have been! I had pretty much exactly the same scenario last year. We don't begin until after Labor Day, but I'm already having the back-to-school dreams! Love this card & your idea to highlight only a couple images. I am gonna try that!! It makes a great impact!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful new school year ! What a cheery birthday card with your go-to layout ;)
ReplyDeleteNow that's a neat idea. Stamp the lot together and then pick and choose which to color. I really like the way this looks very much!! Kinda draws even more attention to each image.
