School's Out...

Good morning everyone!  I have one of my little treasures visiting for a few days, and this one likes to sit and craft with me.  I'm hoping to get a few cards made up while she is here....what a good excuse, no?

I've been trying my hand at a few different card designs, and this time it's a tent card.  I quite enjoyed making this one, and I'm quite please with the result.  If it's a new one for you, I followed the tutorial by Dena and you can find it here.  I used a folded piece of cardstock though, instead of two separate pieces for the front and back.

This time I've used the Kenny K image, Cool Kid.  As the intended recipient is a teenage boy, I've tried to keep the design very simple.  You will notice there are no embellishments, just some doodling on each side using a stitching stencil, and the Nestie frame around the opening.  I know he's extremely happy that school is out, and I think this card reflects that theme.  I'm not so sure that his parents feel the same way.....

The sentiment is one of the many freebies that can be found over at Create with TLC.  Thanks Paulette.

Again, some fun challenges!  Be sure to check them out, as there is lots of inspiration there.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting!
