Oh what a busy day this has turned out to be! School isn't even back in yet and the volunteering has begun. I'm supposed to be President of the Parent Association this year....but a final decision hasn't been made(by me) if I am going to do it. It's a lot of politics...not sure I have a backbone for that! Since we are having our Meet the Teacher/Family BBQ two days after school starts, I had to get the burgers and buns ordered today. Then I stopped by the school to let the Principal know everything is a go. She informed me of a couple of things going on and then the Head Administrator grabbed me to book me for the class photo day on September 11th. I said sure no problem! I then volunteered my neighbour to help too! We don't mind, the photographer compensates us for our time with gift certificates toward our kids pictures. It's win win really, we get free pics and I get to make sure Chloe's hair looks pretty before her pic ;)
OK now onto the cards....LOL....bet you didn't think I talked to so much...oh sure you did!
Todays colour challenge on SCS was CC129 and it was to use Purely Pomegranate, Pretty in Pink and Old Olive. I really liked these colours together!!
This first card I did the Cracked Glass Technique on the center panel. It's been awhile since I did that last. I sponged some Always Artichoke on the back Olive panel and paper piercer and punched the corners out. I used Linen background with Pomegranate on Pretty in Pink CS. I also sponged the edges on this layer as well. I think the rest is pretty straight forward.

Good morning Dawn! Two more beautiful cards!!! I know what you mean about the volunteer work, that's part of what's keeping me busy. I was the VP of our PTO a few years ago....my advice, just be prepared with the timing issue...it was like a part time job with no pay. But, I don't regret it... my kids are in special ed and it really helped me to get to know all the staff at the school. Good luck with your decision!!!
Wow beautiful cards Dawn. I really love the cracked glass technique. You did a wonderful job and it amazingly shows up well in your picture. I love the color combos that you used and your layouts are fabulous!
