It has been a very long while since I was able to play with a sketch...and next month I start a full-time night position, (time to start thinking about university...it is only 2 years away for us)so I don't know how much crafting I'm going to be able to do. There will probably be an "adjustment period" for us...I'm going to need to reorganize. Anyhow...I whipped this one up yesterday before Lexi's birthday party. I thought I'd slip it into her backpack on the first day of school...with a little note from Mom inside. My boys are both in high school and will not thank me for "love notes". So, lucky Lexi gets them all!!
I used Bazill Swiss Dot CS; October Afternoon (Cherry Hill) PP and die cuts; Kaiser bling;ribbon and twine from Michaels; Basic Grey button,Doodlebug alphas; and my Cricut: Storybook cart.
Here are the girls in their "sunglasses"...it was a sleepover, and my family room is completely upside down now...so I need to get cleaning!! Before I do though, I just want to brag a little....
Lexi's soccer team has struggled all season, here you see them after their second Challenge Cup game...Caitlin (on the right) scored the winning goal, after Lexi (in the middle) carried the ball accross the field and crossed it from the corner to just the right spot in front of the net! So, so fun to watch!! So they are off to the quarter finals on Monday...which we never expected. How cool is that!
Thanks for listening, and for allowing me to brag a bit:) Shirley.

beautiful card! love the pics of your girls!
Lucky Lexi indeed!What a lovely idea - my Mom used to pack little notes in my Dad's lunchbox - I bet it made his day!
Love the funky colours!
You've very brave to take on a bevvy of girls for a sleep-over!!
Good luck with your full-time night duty - your kids are so blessed to have such a great Mom!
I'm back to work too next week - after 18 years of back to teaching blues I should be used to it but I hate to leave my comfy home-routine behind. It's much easier now that my kids are growing up - I shed many a tear when I left my babies at home with my Mom but now they get the school bus before I leave so its much easier.
Love the great action photo of Lexi too - she looks the picture of health!
Take care and keep crafting!
