I based this card from the cover layout of Dr. Seuss's book, Oh, the Places, You'll Go! I read this book on the first day of school to my fifth graders, as it is a wonderful story about life's challenges and opportunities and how you have your whole life ahead of you. I tell them I will also read it on the last day of school and all year I want them to think about why I chose this particular book to read to them. I made this card for the Designer Challenge on stamptv.

Tippy Top Tuesday






Wow, what an action packed weekend I had. It was fabulous. Golf on Friday after school, walked Cooper and then started cooking for Easter Sunday. Saturday morning, I had to clean the house and then off to the spa with my two best buds, otherwise known as my daughters to celebrate Jana's 30th! Wow, was it a gorgeous day. We had lunch and enjoyed the view of Mount Mondadnock. Sushi for dinner at Alexis. On Sunday, I was up by 6am to finish cooking and get ready for our 15 guests for Easter. Now, do you understand why I missed a couple of days of posting. I am only able to get this one in because I am drinking Espresso! This card is made for the stamptv "fold" challenge. DP is Basic Grey, Kioshi, love this paper. Thanks for stopping by.

having girls made on my life as well as the joy that having puppies has brought to all our lives. I colored the stamp with copics on a blossom nestie and layered it onto Label 1 nestie. Sentiment is from Gina K "Sweetest Memories." Off to the spa...
