My first thought when I looked at this finished card was: Yep a third grade teacher made this card!
Back in the day I loved doing art projects with my class and they often involved blocks of bright colors! I started making cards after I retired and I soon realized that what I told my kids then apply to my card making sessions today.......
1. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
2. Enjoy the process......don’t worry about what your neighbor is doing.
3. Paper has two sides.....flip it over and start again if you need to.....and remember there are always more pieces on the back table!
I love Kim’s sweet sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! So many possibilities! Hope you join us!

OH! How I love this card, Linda! Your interpretation of the sketch is grand, and I love the colored strips you chose. Such a fun, exciting stamp set!
Blocks of bright colors totally work for "rise and shine"!! Your card makes me smile!!
This is such a fun card Linda! I just love that giant coffee cup and the bright colours! Love the sequins as well. So bright and cheery!
Oh you're funny! Love your sweet card, Linda! I often use the rule about turning the paper over!
