Hello (from eh to zed)

Hello!  I am excited to share today's card with you.  It was one of those "works of heart" cards.  I was fortunate to attend one of the most amazing teaching conferences in Chilliwack, BC, where I met and hung out with one of my teacher mentor/idols, Jen Jones, from Hello Literacy.  I have been a huge fan of Jen's for over 2 years so to meet her was incredible (like meeting Nicole, Dawn, Betsy, and the PTI DT in 2011).  I made this card to send to her, matching her brand of beautiful florals.  Of course, I had to add a nod to Canada inside and out.  I used 3 sets of florals so I'm entering this card into Laurie's Favourite challenge, pick a past Make it Monday challenge. I chose Dawn's Mixing Florals challenge.

 I didn't know what colour of card base to use at first...here were my choices, pink or white.  I loved them both.  I went with the pink to be more "on brand" with Jen's Hello Literacy look.

Here I am with Jen after just meeting IRL.  I was SO excited.  I also got to spend some free time with her,  my LART who travelled with me, and the local coordinators.  It was so much fun!  If you are a teacher and love literacy, you really should follow her @hellojenjones on Instagram.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!  Spring has finally found BC.
