ColourQ #195 and CAS(E) this Sketch #34

Happy Friday! I have one card for two challenges to share tonight, ColourQ and CAS(E) this Sketch.  Love when this happens.  We are melting on the west coast today and will be for the next several days, not sure how warm it was today but warm enough to not have to cook and that works for me.  Darnell from djkardkreations was kind enough to share her fabulous old fashioned phone stamp with me and it gave me my idea...that and this week's sketch.  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card....have a wonderful weekend and stay cool!

In addition to getting this card made I took some time to organize my sequin collection.  Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea was so sweet to share with me where she found this fabulous bead organizer and it is so perfect for sequins.  Michael's only had one so I will be going back for one more next week when I have another coupon.  You can't beat the price $5.40!

Waltzingmouse Blog Party - School's Out

It is the 17th of the month and that means it is time once again for Waltzingmouse Blog Party and this month's theme is "school's out".  I was not quite sure what to make for this theme so I thought of a fun little teacher gift. My daughter is in college now and there is no way on earth she would ever think of taking a teacher gift to one of her teachers but I thought I could use it as a gift for one my co-workers.  I love these little notepads from Papertrey Ink and they really make fun little gifts.  I went through my patterned paper looking for something school like and found this piece from Doodlebugs, Take Note.  I also found a few school theme brads and a charm floating around too to give it more of a school look. I also had to short pieces of the ruler ribbon that Joyce sent me from Britex and I had to use it for this. I need to make a run to San Francisco to restock soon.  You have 24 hours to play along with the festive mouse party, you can find the link here.  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by and peek at my project...have a fabulous day!
