Thank A Teacher! PP297

Miss E is finishing her first year at pre-school which was terrific thanks to an amazing teacher.  I taught elementary school for over 30 years but still can't imagine handling a class of three year olds!  Miss Bobbi Jo does it with style and grace - and a fabulous smile!  I pick Emma up from nursery school and see first hand all of the fun projects and lessons her class has worked on.  So this note will go to Miss Bobbi Jo thanking her for making Emma's first classroom experience wonderful!

I played Tic-Tac-Toe with the Paper Players!  Yellow - Die cut - Paper Clip!  I used the Noted and Teacher's Pet Sets from Sugar Pea.

Love the New In Colors Sew - PPA302

Nicole's Sketch at Pals Paper Arts gave me a chance to show off the new in-colors.......pretty shades of green, blue, peach, purple and pink!  I used the retiring hostess set Love You Sew and stamped the sentiment in Dapper Denim.  The spools are Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Emerald Envy, Dapper Denim and Sweet Sugarplum.  The cardstock is Dapper Denim and Flirty Flamingo. Boy would I love to be in on the meeting where they decide the names of the inks! 

It has been a busy week in my craft room as I removed all the retired items from the bookshelves behind my desk and put them in another bookcase across the room. Then it was time for paper shuffling making room for a big June order! Here is my room all straightened up - only happens once or twice a year!  Don't you love to see everyone's craft spaces? I do!

Hope you play along at Pals Paper Arts!

Spring Blooms - FMS238

Kim's sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches was the perfect opportunity to show off the new set Swirly Bird - so many pieces - so many possibilities!  I kept it simple for its first inking - just bright flowers to say hello.  Around here the lilacs are just blooming - my favorite whiff of spring!

  

Awesome! PP296, PPA301

It is not quite as summery here as this card looks.......but soon!  When you live up north and the temperature cracks 60 that's good enough!  It was a good day for soccer, ice cream and getting the boat out of storage and back into the lake!

OK maybe it was a wee bit chilly out on the open water but we are a hearty crew........that headed to the nearest restaurant on the lake for a warm supper!

I love Laurie's sketch at the Paper Players this week! I used images from Grateful Bunch and Tin of Cards.

The spring colors at Pals Paper Arts are delightful!
