Mrs. Brown's Album

Hunter had a terrific teacher this year, Mrs. Brown! Amazingly, it was Mrs. Brown's first official class. She seemed like a veteran teacher with all of her fabulous ideas and calm control of the class. I was always amazed at how well-behaved her class was. I volunteered in the classroom once a week and went on a couple of field trips with them. I could see the treasure in her!


Because I felt so good about her as a teacher, I couldn't let the year pass without documenting her first year for her. I knew it would mean a lot to her, and so I compiled my favorite friend quotes and snapped some photos of the kids having fun and got to work.

I anxiously awaited Hunter coming home from school so that I could ask him what her reaction was. When he finally got home, he told me that she said "thank you." It was a little anti climactic. I should have known better, because a couple of weeks into the summer, Hunter and I received a very heart felt note from her saying how she cries each time she looks at it.


{The photos were probably taken at midnight as you can see by the lack of natural lighting!}

Mrs. Brown, it was a joy doing this for you! I hope you'll always treasure your first year as we will always treasure you!

Creative Escape 2009

Can I just shout out to the world how happy I am to have been chosen to go to Creative Escape 2009!!! I am so excited! Arizona, here I come Aug 27-29th. (now I just have to figure out how I'm going to pay for it!)

Another little announcement, sunnyexpressions.com is now up and running, so go on over for a visit and purchase a card or two to help me fund my trip!

Going Bananas!

Teenagers can really make you feel like you are going bananas sometimes! I know, I have experienced it first hand! I have a very good friend who just happens to be going through some teeny trouble, so I made this card for her! I hope it replaces at least some of the stress with a little laugh!

Inside it says, "Hang in there, it will all be over soon (the teenage years)! . . . "

Inspiring Creativity

I love it when I get inspired and begin to create. Not all days are like that for me. Sometimes I will spend hours on a card, and it just doesn't seem to come together. If I walk away and come back to it a different day, I can see things from a different perspective, and it helps the creativity.

Today's inspiration comes from Sketch #102 from CPS, and some wonderful, free clip art from Ten Two Studios.

CPS #102

Here is my take on CPS #102 Challenge. It is a Lover's card for . . . who else? My Lover! Happy Valentine's Day James! I love you more than. . . I love making cards! Does that sound too cheesy? It really is a lot to me!
