Wishing everyone in the USA a safe and fun Labor Day. My fun time is making a card for the PIP challenge this week. Yes, card making is my idea of a good time. Speaking of PIP, you can find the challenge here. My enjoyment doubled because the sponsor for this week is Di's Digi Stamps. Love her digital images.
While the 4th is a holiday here, Tuesday the 5th is far more anticipated in this family because a certain little man will be starting kindergarten and going to school all day long. While his mom is doing the happy dance of anticipation, Grandma is pretty sure there will be a bit sadness when the time comes, probably for both of them. I don't think he quite understands what all day school involves. No matter, like everyone before him, he will adjust. To celebrate this big step I made a card to mark the occasion.
I used Di's Digi "Boy off to school." He's colored with Prismacolor colored pencils, poloychromos and a few Copic markers. Backing paper is from pad I've had for far too long. Outside of the crayon being blue (his favorite is black) I think he's going to love this. I am debating if I should work the grade and year onto the backpack flap. Maybe one on the cap and the other on the flap? Can't decide, what do you think? Feel free to weigh in with your comments.
Good gracious, another rambling post, sorry about that! Back to the important things... Be sure to check out Di's Digi Stamps where you are bound to find what you need/love. Then craft away and enter your creations at the PIP challenge blog for a chance to win.
Parting thought:
Children want the same things we want.
To laugh, to be challenged,
to be entertained, and delighted.

Nice card B - like the backing paper as a forecaster of what will be in his life. Think one of his favorites might be storytelling, as I know he likes books..... and before you know it he will be a reader himself :0)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to that; the world before him.
DeleteSo, were there tears?? So many proud & teary moments to come <3 I love your idea of adding in the year etc & I think both places are great. I love this card and I love your coloring :) It would be great in a school scrapbook too!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy. No tears for either or so she said. Half hour to bedtime and he's still excited.
DeleteWhat an awesome card, B! Sure hope little man's first days and week were good. Love the coloring on your card, and the background paper is perfect. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri. First week was rough for him. Already not a fan of hot lunch, though "they have awesome chocolate milk!" Guess he has his priorities 😂 .
