I have cute story to tell you so if you don’t want to read it skip down to the card. I was observing in a Pre-Kindergarten the other day and the teacher was doing a unit on dinosaurs.

Good Morning Ladies! I visit Carole’Anne’s blog Stampin Stress Away every day. Each week she and her sister Sandi (who’s blog Sandi MacIver I also check out) have a 10 minute challenge.

I used some designer series paper and paired it with the large flower image from the Petal Pizzazz set. I often don’t use my larger…
Wow the wind last night was unbelievable. I was wondering if the gusts were going to take my furniture of the back deck. Today we have rain so I will be working on more cards. My card today was made for a color challenge at Diva Coffee Break Designs blog. The colors were Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa, and Pretty in Pink.
