First Day of Third Grade!

A card for two challenges ending at noon ~ CASology and ColourQ.

I suspect I am definitely in the minority of Moms who are sad 

to see the end of summer, and the beginning of the school year.

I hate having to work full time (and sometimes more), 

and really enjoy the extra time I have with my son in summer.

School beginning means many things, but definitely the end of

lazy days and a stricter schedule, hence my alarm clock image.

I made a card a few days ago for the ColourQ challenge. I

still can't decide if I like it, so I am not going to link it.

Feeling Under the Weather?

A cheery get well card for a few challenges at A Passion for Papertrey, the Rainy Day Challenge at Lily Pad, and the bright color challenge at ColourQ.  Two of the challenges were a breeze to combine, since they were both weather related.  I computer generated the sentiment "Feeling under the weather," (since I did not have a stamp with that sentiment), and die cut it using this Make it Monday technique.

At A Passion for Papertrey the Challenge: Whatever the Weather! ~ The challenge for the next fortnight is entitled "Whatever the weather" - perfectly appropriate if you live in the UK at the moment as we've certainly be having some "weather" here these last few days!!

At Lily Pad Cards ~ Simon Says Stamp Presents a Rainy Day Challenge ~

April showers are indeed on our minds over at the Lily Pad, and we decided to challenge y’all to create a card that has a theme this time: rain!

The challenge. Make a card that’s got some rain or rain-related images/thoughts/product, etc. There are no product restrictions, and you can enter as many cards as you wish as long as they were not made before today’s date.

Supplies ~  

Stamps: PTI Think Big Favorites # 10, Unity Rain & Flowers

Paper: PTI Soft Stone, SU Naturals White

Ink:  SU Always Artichoke, Pear  Pizzazz, SU Markers Daffodil Delight & Tangerine Tango

Wishing you Sunshine for Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day

Twenty Mother's Day cards ~ all from the same sketch ~ for the babies at the NICU I work at to give their Moms this Sunday.  It is a simpler version of this card, since I made them assembly fashion.  I used five color schemes, two different flower stamps and sentiment stamps, and five impression plates so that no two are exactly alike.  I am also entering them into three Mother's Day challenges at Card Crafter's Circle and The Paper Players and Ribbon Carousel.

Challenge #21 - Mum's the Word! 

We would love to see your  Mother's Day / Something For Mum!  creations  this week! And don't forget to do something nice for your Mum.
