RA STAFF

My son John-Robert is off to camp...where he lives in basketball shorts.... this time as Co-Director at camp...he is so excited... he started at age 8 as a camper...became a counselor at the age of 15... and now this year he is a Camp Co-Director... we are so proud and excited for him... ideas are bouncing off his head all the time to make it great ... it has been so fun to hear him talk about all his ideas to grow camp ever bigger... camp is where he accepted Jesus ... it has been the most positive, rewarding, fun experience for him and he loves it... I think he lives for it... and he is good at it... it will be why he will be a great teacher!!.. anyway this is a card (it measures right about 9 1/4 inches) for him to have his first staff to sign to remember his first year as on of the camp Directors...

Schools Out For Summer!!

I designed this card for my Cuttlebug Spot design team card... the theme this week is schools out or summer... and I was really struggling to figure out what to do...everything I thought of didn’t include any Cuttlebug folder that I had... then I took a different approach and decided to go through my head the embossing folders that I did have and how to use them in a card with this theme... the first folder I thought of what this one, the Alegro folder, and this card was in my head in about a second after that!.... I was so excited at how it turned out!!!.

This is an Okie's Sketch Challenge card... I didn't think I was going to do one... wasn't sure that I could make either sketch my own ... took a nap and woke up with just how I wanted to do the scallop ... so I decided that was a sign to do this challenge... then when I was going through the paper with the circles reminded me so much of floating bubbles that I knew knew exactly what I was going to do... and I just got so excited about this card!
