Smart



Happy Monday!  While I'm sure most of you are going to be enjoying an extra day of your weekend,
I'll think of you as I race around the motel.  Busy is good, right?  Today's card is for 365 Cards, the theme is "Smart".  I'm in awe listening to Mr. Ben read these days, I love how at his age they're such sponges and his reading improves leaps and bounds with every week.  So I was thinking of him when I made this card.  Lawn Fawn is teaming up with Operation Write Home this week and the challenge is to make a card for a deployed serviceman to send to a child, sniff, sniff, thinking of this card in that light makes me sad to think of those who can't read the nighttime story with their children.  On a slightly more colorful note, I posted some really pretty pictures on my work blog yesterday, here's a peak.


Materials: PTI All booked Up, PTI Modern Wood Mats, PTI All Booked Up texture plate, PTI Mat Stack 4 die, EK Success 1 3/4 th circle punch, PTI double sided banner die, PTI rustic white & kraft card stock, PTI kraft ink
