Shoot for the stars...

Sometimes, not having to think about embellishments or patterned paper is so fun.  I love taking out stamps and ink and just playing around with them!  My fingers are black and blue, but by some miracle, my card front stayed clean.




I used the Mama Elephant sketch challenge for this card:

Can you still see the sketch in my card?  I stamped the target, hanging off the top edge, in place of the half-doily.  And the two banners translated into two arrows (the extras are just for fun, hee hee)

I used "cosmic stars" and "on target" (and the swirly lines from "no peeking") to create this little encouraging card, which I slipped into Sofia's backpack this morning.  A little something to brighten her day on the first day back to school after spring break.

Thanks for stopping by!  Maia and I have a lot of cleaning up to do today, now that we have the house all to ourselves *wink*
