Inspired by....

Oh, I was so very inspired to create a card and play along over at Inspired by this week.....Here is the fabulous photo inspiration. A chalkboard....how appropriate for me this week! We begin our state assessments and I loved this challenge. 

 I chose to use some leftovers from my last layout to create a card for my teaching partner. I have been so blessed to have her as my partner and my friend! She is truly the best. I will give her this card and some yummy stress relieving chocolates on our first day of testing!

Recipe: scraps of For Always papers, some Honey scraps and that black "chalkboard" is a scrap also. I used some bitty pearls and the ever wonderful Artiste cartridge to create my roses. Just wrote my sentiment with a white jelly roll pen. 

My Day.....

 I have had such a busy week at school this week preparing for state assessments, that I didn't have any time to create at all.... :(  Stressful week.... So this morning, I got right to it and already feel some relaxation setting in! I created this layout of my beautiful Megan's wedding album. I challenged myself to use the card sketch from my last post to do a layout. Love how it came out. 

 I used some of the new For Always fabrics and rolled these flowers. Oh, there are so many ways to create using that wonderful fabric.

Recipe: All papers and fabrics are For Always, black ink, bling-Prima, Thickers alphas, and I used the Elegant Edges cartridge for the cuts.
