You are so Sweet (sweet, sweet, sweet!)

TGIF!!!! Ah, my favourite day at work...yes, it's a Friday, but it's also a fun, no pressure day at work (for me and the kids!)  Library, P.E., fun math, story and centers...what's not to love?  Oh, and a cold one on a patio somewhere in this beautiful sunshine!! But enough of that...onto today's card.  Mercy has done it again with a fabulous sketch this week.  I had originally wanted to use some kind of Cosmo Cricket notebook paper on this one, but as I went through my scrap bag I saw these polka dots and then this pink plaid...I just had to use them!!  (The pink plaid is on the reverse side of this paper...love the versatility!)  I thought of some button flowers, but was so determined to use another one of Heather's library cards.  I just love them.  And you can print them to your heart's content :)  I love that...you can make as many mistakes on them and have more to use!!  "Having" to use my new bloom dies again, I carried on with the school theme and made a cork flower and added a sweet library clip.  No matting needed...I thought too many layers would take away from the sweet little details.  Thanks for stopping by...what are your plans for the weekend?  I hope something and/or someone you love is on the agenda :)  Cheers!!

Such a cute card, as always! I love your blog and hope you have a great weekend. Lots of people and activities that I love - my sweet neice's first bday today so my whole fam took the day off and we are going to the zoo! Tomorrow we are going to watch a football scrimmage - which I LOVE! Sunday a Tastefully Simple party - delicious and easy to make food! What could be better??

That paper was a fabulous choice. I'm a Cosmo Fan but I this paper is just as sweet as the sentiment and details. I want those flower dies! Actually I want them all!!!

Cute, cute, cute! I love the plaid against the polka dots! I agree that it needed to remain a bit more simple so that your flowers and library clip, and library card could do the talking. I'm going to have to go download that template from Heather one of these days, lol. I love what you did with Mercy's sketch this week!
