EONAC19 - A Sketch w/ Retired SU!

So Sue has decided she wants us to use this week's SCS SC282 with a retired SU stamp/set.

Now, in the spirit of EONAC, I did my best to pull out as much old stash as I could. The paper...eh, not so much. But the stamps and ribbon sure are! I have been organizing my stamps on a separate page to remind myself to use them already! When I saw "Wild About You", I thought it was time (particularly since I felt it could go well with this paper). Maybe I am just getting a real head start on my Valentines!

Don't forget to let us know you played by linking yourself up below!

Positive note of the day: It snowed today...for srsly. Ugh. And we are supposed to get 20 cm overnight. Hopefully C will still have a fun time on her field trip today to Heritage Park...she is so excited (especially since she gets to take a lunch and ride on the big school bus). We picked up umbrellas at the dollar store to make the field trip a little more tolerable (which is fine since I am sure the kids will trash them soon enough no matter what the cost)!

Oh what a fun card. I love the little birdie on the giraffe (why didn't I think of that idea). Super cute.
Our weather is rain, rain & more rain (better then snow though).
