Retro Sketches #111

Today was another off and on rainy day around here. My poor students were so looking forward to recess today but as soon as they got outside it started to hail so they had to come back in. Thankfully the recess aids had a plan to keep them quiet for a while and popped in a video. On the way out after school today one of my students asked me if it was still raining or hailing out. I told him that I didn't know but I would take rain or hail over snow any day! I am so looking forward to warmer weather  and for things to keep getting nicer and greener out. These colors in my card today remind me so much of spring.

I used the sketch from Retro Sketches as inspiration for this card. I think it turned out pretty cute and went together pretty quick. Thanks for stopping by!

The Paper Players Challenge #192

It's been a while since my last post. Like always life has been busy as usual. The school year will be drawing to a close in a little over a month and I'm looking forward to nicer weather (I'm still trying to see if spring is finally here in Minnesota or if this is just another tease) and also having more time to stamp. Today I sat down with some new goodies that I got after hosting my first workshop in what seems like forever. I decided that I needed some inspiration or direction for my stamping today so I chose to go with The Paper Players. Here is my card for their challenge...

Their challenge was to use some washi tape on a card. I did use some washi tape but also used some stamps to pose as washi tape. Let me know what you think! I love feedback :)
