This week’s Case Study caught my eye! This is my take on it. Instead of a painted backdrop, I made a sponged grunge frame in green and added my cherries image.

I’m a bit nervous about the year ahead because my oldest son is in grade 5 and everyone’s been telling us how important a year it is as these are the grades that will follow him into high school! High school??? Yikes. Ok. He has 2 whole years before high school. We also have a new principal this year and there will be lots of changes. Hopefully all for the better. I’m staying optimistic! As for my card today, I decided to make a masculine teacher thank you card. See? Optimism. 🙂 I drew this image to make school cards and notecards etc. What is it about a grouping of pencils and new paper that inspires me? It always has; I used to love sorting my pencils for school and making neat stacks of my papers and notebooks. I believe it has to do with the anticipation of possibilities; of a story untold. Do …
