Rainy Days vs. Sunny Days

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

It was a great week at school...we created Plant Life Cycle posters, started our poetry books, planted a bunch of seeds, and we worked on Angles/Transformations. Next week we are going to add the Animal Life Cycle and try to grow some beetles. I need to take some pictures at school and share all the work we are doing. It is quite impressive what the students have been learning. Hard to believe there are only 8 weeks left. 

 

Our weather has been quite odd the past couple of days. The meteorologist has predicted severe storms and all sporting events have been cancelled, but then we barely receive any rain. Most of the storms have been further south.

 

Talking about the weather reminds me...

It's time for a new challenge at Little Scrap Pieces.

 

The Challenge...April Showers

Include a cloud, an umbrella, or rain boots

 This paper matched the challenge perfectly (Well, the rain boots are missing, but that birdie sure would look cute wearing some.).

Heidi Grace Sunshower paper

Canvas Corp polka dot paper

yellow cardstock

Create a Critter Cricut cartridge ~ bird (p. 65) cut at 1 1/4"

April Showers Cricut cartridge ~ umbrella cut at 2 1/4"

Good Morning and Happy Easter

I hope everyone is doing well today. Yesterday we went to Orlando, so my daughter could pick out her birthday present. She is going to be 14 on Monday and she is extremely excited. We have plans to go out to dinner with the grandparents and then we are going to enjoy a piece cookie cake.

After we came home last night, I was able to work on a card for a few challenges. Since I wasn't able to do much crafting this past week with getting school work done, it was nice to be able to create.  We only have 8 weeks left with an extremely jammed pack schedule, but I am going to continue to try and enter some more challenges.

For this card, I used a Sweet Stop sketch (posted below). They have some FABULOUS layouts. Go check them out!

Materials:

K1 Memories ~Enchanting mat pad

pink, white, and kraft cardstock

Paisley cartridge ~ umbrella

brown an dpink flowers

pink gems

Get Well Soon stamp by Docerela

brown ink

Other Challenges:

Little Red Wagon ~ Umbrella

Paper Playtime ~ Umbrella 

4 Crafty Chicks ~ Flowers

One Stop Craft Challenge ~ Pastels/Die-Cut

Hope you have a great Easter.

Stay Creative,

Throwback Thursday Challenge ~ 58

This week's challenge at My Creative Time with Emma is to create ANYTHING using a "BABY" theme. I do not own the New Arrival cartridge, but I did find appropriate images on the Potpourri cartridge. I created a Baby Shower card.
