Hello All! I can't believe that I have made an appearance two weeks in a row! Hopefully I am back to those things that I enjoy and that the dust will settle with all the busy things of life. School is almost out. We only have four more days! I can't believe that we are finally there. This has definitely been a tough year. A lot of changes at my school, having a baby, and then losing a student. What an emotional year! I am so grateful, though, for the chance to have taught her. She was in my class when I taught 1st grade and then for 2nd grade. She was a sweetie!
There has also been a lot of births, or soon to be births - which is such a blessing to many families. That is why I decided to create this card:
This is a freebie image from Bugaboo and I just fell in love with it right away. It's called AKV BB Stork.
This is what I used:
Copics: B14, YG03, Y15, RV11, E00, G28, B29, W5, and W3
Papers: DCWV Card Stock Stack
DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Boy
DCWV Flower Shower Spring Pack
Hand and Foot Brads: Recollections from Michael's
I also made this card...I thought that he was too cute to pass up on!
He was also a freebie a while back from Bugaboo. He's called BeachMsand. Here is what I used:
Copics: RV11, E33, E09, YR24, E37, and G21
Papers: DCWV Card Stock Stack
DCWV The Stack 6
Buttons: Affinity - The Paper Studio bought at Hobby Lobby

Oh my goodness, Erika. Both of your cards are absolutely the cutest. I love your stork card. Your papers are so cute and I love the brads. Such a perfect combination.

Hi Erika, so glad you've had the time to join us this week, I didn't realise you are working with the baby as well so you are very busy. I do love both of your cards this week aren't these Bugaboo images wonderful I love them all and can never make up my mind which one I like the best especially when Jodi is sponsoring us. Both your cards are great and I just adore all of your embellishments. Great job, thanks so much for sharing your card with us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday this week and good luck.
