With 'back to school' in mind, I decided to play the Midnight Madness sketch challenge this week!
My BBB (best blogging bud), Lisa, sent me a care package last week. It contained some new stamps and some Basic Grey papers. Teacher Anya was one of the new stamps. Isn't she the most darling thing you've ever seen? Of course, the DP that I used on the background and on Anya's vest are Basic Grey! Thanks Lisa, in measures of oodles!!! You are so sweet!
Supplies: Basic Grey June Bug Paper Pack, Crystal Laquer, Great Impressions Sentiment, Versafine Black Ink, DCWV CS, Kooh-I-Noor Woodless Pencils and Low-Odor Mineral Spirits, Tombow Markers.

This next card is for 365 Cards challenge for today. Today we were to use a Card Recipe! The recipe was:
4 x 7 card
glitter
5 blossoms
wet embossed sentiment
and
three different DP's!
It's been a while since I have wet embossed, so it was fun to drag out the old heat gun!

I am also going to post this at Flutter By Wednesday's challenge! Pay special attention to the teensy little butterfly up on the Hello sentiment. Shirley's granddaughter, Megan, came to visit her for a week. I got to meet her last week, and she was a total sweetie! She was creating with Shrinky Dink and Punches, and offered to make me some very fun embellishments! When I left that day, I had a butterfly (shown above!) some flowers, and some birds! I think she did a beautiful job, and it was so much fun to get to meet her! So, Megan, if you are reading this, THANK YOU, and many hugs for your kindness!!!

That's all I have for today! It's been a busy day - I've been working on announcements, and finally got the new bedding on our bed! Hope that you have all had a wonderful day! Have a great evening, and think happy thoughts!!!

Hi Patti,
I'm feeling a lot better today so did my card and now all caught up. Your card is fantabulous my friend. You put the challenge to good use. Don't you just love getting care packages in the mail? I am trying to get a RAK club going so if you are interested let me know okay. There is nothing nicer than sending someone something nice through the mail.
Take care
Michelle

Gorgeous cards, both of them! LOVE the dry embossed coredinations - it's totally awesome effect! Great take on the 365 challenge - I thought it was difficult but wow, you rocked it!
Hi,
Sorry Patti, i haven't been for a while. The days have been busy, moving the furnitures and changing rooms.
I love your cards! Always so inspiring.

Well - the school card is so much more vibrant IRL and I can't wait to call Megan this am and tell her to have her mom get on your blog so she can see the butterfly. In her own words "just perfect"!!!
What a great back to school card!! I don't think I could have completed the first challenge. That's a lot of elements. Great job!
These are both fab, Patti!! That Anya is delightfully cute, and your challenge card came out great :)
