Well, I'm tuckered out! I had a full day field trip with first-graders, we did a City tour, seeing numerous landmarks of the city on a bus and walking, and taking in the newest leg of our city's train system. You should hear and experience the excitement erupting of a whole bus of 5 and 6 year olds seeing the landmarks they are supposed to spot. Quite entertaining :)
Then tonight we had the Awards Ceremony at our daughter's JH. She not only achieved Honors, but also was awarded as the top Band Student in her grade. I'm SO proud of her, so I just had to brag on her a little bit! This is her holding her two awards in the Certificate form. She looked so pretty tonight too!
On to the stamping....today brings us to another Flourishes Friday, and we're focussing on the sets that were just released last week. Today is your LAST CHANCE to purchase the
New Release bundle at a discount. So, I hope you don't miss out! They are all such beautiful sets!
Today I used the beautiful
Humming Along set and colored it up using Copic Markers (
Delphinium Collection and Spring Greens Collection). Actually coloring did not take long, the flowers are just the right size for easy coloringg. I added a little blue to the buds about to bloom as well. And, I used this weeks
SFYTT from Jen Del Muro, flipped, and added the little hummingbird (stamped in Brilliant Blue) from the set as part of the circle from the sketch. The papers are Marrakech from Basic Grey, which had just the right depth of blues to make it dramatic. For accent I've added
Black Braided Trim and Black Rhinestones.
You'll want to see what the rest of the team has beautifully created this week too...
