Little Red Wagon #241 - Teacher Appreciation

Hi there.......yep I'm still here!

Sorry I haven't been around recently but I was sick for a little while with a virus......knocked me off my feet!  Now I'm battling what looks like Carpal Tunnel which is playing havoc with EVERYTHING I try to do, but mostly my sleep and crafting......the two things I love to do!

Even today's post is a struggle so I'm keeping it short and sweet.

Over at Little Red Wagon this week.........

Jodi would like to see a little Teacher Appreciation as the school year is rapidly coming to an end.

My project isn't overly 'Teacher'ish.......well not at all actually......just a simple 'Thank You' card which will make it's way to my youngest daughter's Teacher.  It was made with the pre-requisite that 'maybe it could be pink'........and 'an animal would be cool'.......ooh and 'some sparkle please'!

Sure, cause nothing says a huge thank you to your teacher like a pink, blinged up animal card now does it?!

Her wish is my command, so here's the very 'un'Teacherlike Appreciation card:

The cute little monkey was a freebie cut file from Miss Kate Cuttables, and I had to dig into the depths of my high school brain to retrieve a few different languages for the sentiment!

Well that's about all I can manage for today, so I'm off to try and restore some feeling into my fingers.

Check out the rest of the projects from the Girlfriends over on the Little Red Wagon blog when you get a chance.

I may not be around here as often as I'd like in the near future.  Hopefully some pending Doctor's appointments will have a few answers for me.

Till then, enjoy your day,

Little Red Wagon #226 - Yearning For Spring

Yes....aren't we all yearning for a little Spring?!

Well this week over at...........

Rosanne has challenged us with just that........she wants to see a little 'Springlike' creation.  Shame we can't challenge Mother Nature with the same task!

So, you might choose Spring colours, a Spring theme or image......doesn't really matter as long as there's a fresh contrast to the white/grey blanket of snow we've suffered for the last few months.

I chose to go with a 'Springlike' cluster of blooms I picked up as a freebie file from Miss Kate Cuttables for the Silhouette last week. I paired it with a suitable Spring like quote, and even delved into a 6"x 6" paper pad I've had in my stash for a while, aptly named 'Spring Fling'........are we clear here?

Think Spring people........SPRING!!

I thought this flower cluster looked pretty cute, and it was.......until I had to glue together the hundred teeny pieces.

Note to self: make the card a little bigger next time!

Why not delve into Spring yourself this week, and enter the challenge over on the blog.  The Girlfriends too have been suitably inspired as always.

I'll be seeing you again later in the week so till then, enjoy,
Jayne.x.
