I'm in back-to-school mode, and needed another card for another grand - this one starting Middle School this year!!! My sweet mama used to say 'put a brick on her head' - I suppose it was her way of saying 'stop growing up!' I totally agree!
Chrissy's Sketch #334 is so cool... and she has been producing the most wonderful cards using patterned paper lately! I'm taking your lead this week, Chrissy!
This is another new 6x6 pad from Honey Bee - just the sweetest collection of paper called Over the Rainbow! I bought Altenew's School Days set last year - it has been the perfect set to say what I wanted to say... inside, and out!
Those fun rainbow-stripes didn't come with this shine... but it was so easy to do with the skinniest stamp from my
EBE Painted Stripes set,
and clear embossing powder!
Think she'll like it? I sure hope so!!! Do you know who else is unstoppable?? amy T. that's who!!! Happy birthday, @craftee1 … hugs!
I surely like that you stopped by today … thanks so much! I hope you'll play along with me, and my talented teamies! Let's go see what they've created for CTS344, shall we?

Wowzers, if she doesn't like it send it to me...I'll even go back to school for it.
