Wow...this week has just zipped by! Went back to work today, lots of cleaning, tossing out, organizing and meetings. I really could have spent all day there, but why do in one day what I can spread out over the next several? It is a nice feeling to have everything clean and fresh for the new school year. I have two cards to share and the first one is for Curtain Call's current challenge - Carnival Craze. Once again I came up empty with stamps so I put Miss Lucy to work, she never gets a break! But she always comes through for me and today was no exception, I found this fun Ferris Wheel to fit the theme. It was so much fun to make and thought a bit of bling would dress it up a bit too.
My next card is for Lil Inker's Birthday Party, they just turned 3!!! So exciting, there is still plenty of time to play along and they have some fabulous prizes too. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card...have a great rest of your week.

These are both fabulous. Lucy sure saved the day--that ferris wheel is so fun and colorful. I love how you paired it with tickets, and you found the perfect sentiment, too.
