Absolutely LOVE this colour combo and willl definitely have to use it again. Such wonderfully deep, rich, colours that make a wonderful statement together.
I think this is my last thank you card so you can all do a happy dance now LOL! So many wonderful people to thank: teachers, school secretaries, school Principal, team coaches, piano teacher, Sunday School teachers, the school PAC etc. Love being able to thank each person with a hand made card for the role they each play in touching the lives of my kids. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child :)
I'm still madly in love with this PTI flower die and the Polka Dot Basics II set. Thus, the polka dotted flowers LOL! Bonus was the ribbon from Michael's dollar bin that was almost a perfect match - happy sigh...!
The rest of the Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.

Each week Keesh will select a winner and an honorable mention and post their cards on the Inkspirations Challenge blog. We'd love to see your card posted as a winner.
Busy weekend ahead as today is Sports Day at the school. I'll be watching for a bit, taking a few pictures, talking to other parents and then helping out at the concession stand for a few hours. Saturday my daughter has her Grade 2 piano exam and then her year end recital later in the afternoon, and Sunday is our farewell party for our Children's Pastor at the church which involves all the kids, some plays, speeches, food etc. I'm getting tired just typing about it LOL. Needless to say, Sunday night will definitely be a low key evening!
Thanks for stopping by today and have a fabulous weekend :)
