So I’m apparently hitting that crazy time of the school year where there is too much to do and no time to do it. Do you have that happen?? Please tell me it isn’t only me!! Thank goodness Freshly Made Sketches and the amazing Narelle Farrugia had the solution for one item on my list. I needed a card for a family First Communion. And fast!
I pulled out a few retired/retiring items and threw in a few current to create this card. Crosses of Hope is my go-to set for these events and it didn’t let me down here. I used my Large Oval Punch and embossed an oval (cut with a retired die). I thought the polka dots from Watercolor Wonder DSP set the right tone for a 2nd grade boy and tried to keep the card not too serious. I Embosses the Smoky Slate panel with Decorative Dots (it carries over into the new catalog) and then added on some Chevron Ribbon. I hope he liked the card!!
Next up, my own youngest son’s First Communion is this weekend so it is going to be busy, busy, busy around here. I need to get a special card made for him too! Hmmmm, I need more hours!! Well, I hope your week is fantastic and full of fun things. Make sure you hop right over and see what the design team has created for you this week. As always….fabulous!! Until I can get back to some more posting, have a great rest of your week!
