Only 3 days of school left and I am panic stricken and running around like crazy trying to decorate and organize the last few details of the annual Talent Show….whew! And it’s hot! Too hot!
This week finished up a marathon of chaperoning fieldtrips. Yes, it is that time again. Say it with me…”s-u-m-m-e-r”. Ahhhh, summer! Three months of pure laziness! And cardmaking, of course!
Here are a few pics from this week’s adventures.(That’s me with the red tree frog. My fascination of taking my picture with inanimate objects lives on!) I escorted 6th graders to the Pittsburgh Zoo. 7th grade to Idlewild Park and 8th grade to The Carnegie Science Center and Kennywood Park.
On Friday, I learned that my card over at Some Odd Girl’s Odd Idol contest made it to the Top Ten!!! The challenge was to color a SOG image the opposite of what you would think. I colored Pirate Kaylee in hot pink!
The new challenge is to create a scene. I am still creating. If you get a chance, pop over to the Ning community site. Lots of inspiration. The Top Ten will be narrowed down to just 5! It’s excitingly nailbiting!!!!!
The new June sketch is up at SOG. Here is the sketch:
Here is my take:
This is Rocker Mae. I am going to enter this card into the new challenge over at Send a Smile 4 Kids. The challenge is Anything Goes for Kids. I think this image is just perfect for kids; the rock stars that they think they are!
Finally, Operation Write Home’s Sunday Sketch challenge #175:
And my interpretation:
I used a new fairy from Tiddly Inks. She is called Fairy Tenderhearted. The sentiment is a clear stamp from ditto. I think the sentiment matches perfectly!
Wow! This post is just as busy as my life right now! I am off to enjoy the rest of my Sunday! Have a great one, my friends!

Thank you. I appreciate your kind comment.
Hopping over here from OWH. How was the talent show? Hope it went well (or goes well, if you haven’t done it yet). Have a great last few days of school with the kiddos. As far as your cards, your coloring is superb. I really like your take on the #175 Challenge, not quite perfect squares, looks great! Thanks for sharing! Tamara/Paper Blessings

Girl, you have been busy! I’m here from OWH, but want to wish you a happy last few days of school and thank you for dedicating your time and energy to the children. On to the cards..beautiful coloring, as always, and your card for sketch #175 is adorable!
Thank you Cissy. Only one more day left and life will slow down for the next 3 months. 🙂
Such great cards!!! Hey, my parents and a lot of their friends migrated out here to Idaho from Pittsburgh back in the 1960’s. They all worked for US Steel and came to work here for the D.O.E. I’ve only been back to Pittsburgh once, when I was a baby, so I don’t remember. It looks lovely. I’d love to see it some day. Lots of family still there that I have never met. (Brodmerkels!! LOL) Thanks for sharing your cards! I love your coloring and hey… Happy summer… My work (school contract) is over on Thursday. 🙂
Thanks for commenting. How interesting about your family. I love visiting Pittsburgh. I hope you get the chance to visit sometime. Enjoy your summer!
Best of luck on your Some Odd Girl journey! Sweet sketch card…tfs!!!
Great job on the OWH sketch! Love the birdy and nest and the oranges in the papers.
Thank you! 🙂
