National Board Congratulations Cards! & a Thank You...

Well... This is a milestone. My National Board box was sent via FedEx, and recieved by the NBPTS people... Now, my last meeting with my NB cohort is this afternoon. I have spent the better part of the school year with these ladies, meeting once a month, reading, discussing, and eating snacks. It seemed to be a little bit of a let-down to just meet without saying something.

Also, my NB leader has been a big help! She read for us, even though she was working on her own renewal!

Here are my "Celebrate" cards. We will not know until about Thanksgiving whether or not we actually get our NB status... So, there really is no congratulations. YET! ;)

I used the Cricut to cut out the Celebrate and the <3felt Thanks. WildCard, I think. The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket's DeLovely line, the brown and white cardstock is American Crafts, the kraft is from JoAnn's (I'm not a fan of Micheals' kraft), and the pink pen is a Souffle pen from GellyRoll.

HINT: I've found that if I cut basic shapes out of normally more obnoxiously bright paper (I do love this though... don't get me wrong!), I can mix shapes to make card sets really easily!! Temper the brights with some neutrals, and VIOLA! Pin It

Sketchy Thursday May Guest Designer Layout

As summer approaches, the amount of work that I will be able to make increases! Good thing! It also means the amount of work in relation to 'work' increases. I may have to wait until mid-June to truly find my scrapping mojo!!

Anyway, I took a few minutes and created a layout using this sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.I liked the artistic bent to this, and LOVED that I got to break out my SewEasy again!!

So, here is my lovely layout!Cardstock: Black Bazzill
Patterned Paper: Crate Paper, Emma's Shoppe (flower) and Prima Polka dots
Brads: MME Lost and Found
Thread: Micheal's brand floss
Lettering: Studio Calico
Pen: Gelly Roll Souffle
Spray: I made it with acrylic paint and water... NOTHING was as opaque as I wanted it to be... So I just dove in and tried it out. Works perfect! Pin It

WINNER!!! (ps. 13 is a LUCKY number!)

I always felt that 13 was a lucky number, so have never shied away from it. Maybe it was because I was born on the 31st, and the numbers were simply reversed, or who knows.

Today was another time to prove this, as I used Random.org to choose the lucky winner, and it was 13!!!

Congrats Melissa! I hope that you have many travels to scrap soon! Check out her amazing blog by the way!!

And thank you to the rest of you!! I appreciate all of you! This has been SOOO much fun! I can't wait to do it again!!
