Thanks...

Morning all! Just a quick card to show you today. You may or may not know that I organized and lead the crossing guard group at Kyler's school this year. I wanted to be sure that the students that helped out knew that I appreciated them and their hard work and that I'd love to have them back next year so I made them a card and got them a little gift certificate to Baskin-Robbins.

Super easy with some bright red paper and a patterned paper that I've had for some time. I thought the arrows were a fun addition, too.

We are coming down to the last few days of school for Jon. Tomorrow is the Senior Excursion. The senior class will head over to Seattle for the day. It looks like it will be lots of fun for them.

The rest of the week(end) I'll be working on end of year teacher gifts. I think I know what I want to make...this purse with cards in it. I don't have that paper though (and my pre-order won't be here in time darn it!) so my set will look a little different. I have PLENTY of patterned paper though so no worries on that one! LOL!

Kyler has his Track and Field day today and it looks like our weather should be nice for this one day this week! Yay! Did you know we've consistently been at least 5 degrees below normal here. SO frustrating! I'm hoping it will be better next week for family visiting but I'm not so sure!

Anyway, be on the lookout for a giveaway very soon. You guys have all been so patient with me that I want to give you an opportunity to win something!

Graduation Card

Well, welcome to June everyone! I, personally, think May went SO fast! We are down to just 9 days until Jon graduates from high school and then 5 weeks until he leaves for Basic Training. YIKES!

Todd and I both know a fun young lady at the University who is graduating this month so I thought it would be nice to make her a little card to wish her the best in her future. I had fun with CardPatterns sketch #66 to make this card. I also used my very first TGF image. Oh! And, I won some wonderful blog candy from Jeannette so I used that to make this card with, too! I hope I did Jeannette proud with this card as she is an incredible crafter!

Off to start a week full of activities for end of the year. I think I have something everyday day/evening this week!
