Let's get started, shall we?

Artsy Fartsy

LOVE this set:

Love the sentiments in this set!

This set is super fun to color.  Don't you love the puddle of paint?  Couldn't resist all the hot pink!

Here's another design using the same set:

I wanted to use splashes of color and using Fireworks Bahama Breeze is perfect...you should see the sheen!  Gotta love the mix-up of fonts!

I combined it with

Last one for me is

Owl Be Genius

I designed a journal card:

cardstock: strathmore watercolor stamps: SSS Owl Be Genius/Busy Octopus/You Had Me At/Easily Distracted ink: Fireworks Bahama Blue, Distress Ink fired brick/mowed lawn/spiced marmalade, Hero Arts Hues/black other: lawn fawn journal die

Keeping this in my stash for when I start pocket scrapbooking!  I'm thisclose to making the jump...seriously, people.

I combined it with

You Had Me At

Easily Distracted

Here's my last card:

cardstock: pti kraft paper: lawn fawn dewey decimal stamps: sss owl be genius/speech bubbles ink: Hero Arts hues, Impress red currant, zing white, copic T1/T3/BG11/BG15/Y17

owl + chalkboard = ♥

Can you tell that I did the chalkboard technique?  I'm going to make a duplicate of this card so I can give one to each of the kids.

I combined Owl Be Genius 

with

Speech Bubbles

okay, okay, here's a bonus card that I whipped up for

Hedgehog Kiss

I know, how could I resist?!

This has gone postal to my sweet friend, Ivy Pe.
