Making a Card Set

Hi y'all...

I am making card sets for the kids' teachers as an end of the school year gift. Here's how I am switching it up from previous years...instead of making ten cards that are all the same, I am gonna make ten cards that are different but "feel" similar. By this I mean, I am choosing a paper pack (in this case, Basic Grey's Perhaps) from which I will make all ten cards. I will mix that DP with a relatively simple sketch, some embellies and then just a sentiment. Here's the first one...

This way, I can have a pretty card set that doesn't bore me to tears to create! (And BTW, as simple as this was, I only made one card tonight. I will be probably that strapped for time for the rest of the school year!)

Positive note of the day: Avery was a giggly fool on the baby swing today. Sweet!

Oh I like the colors on this one.
How fun to enjoy the "giggles" with Avery. That is my all time favorite kid sound.
