I have been working with my very first studio calico kit and I LOVE it! the paper that really caught my eye was this red scalloped pennant looking paper (Jellybeans). I love it! (did I mention, i love it?!)

I took this picture last year as a part of my POTD project while getting our car washed at Hickam AFB.  It is so typical of the way my van gets washed, by someone else. I’m not going to say I’m not big on washing the car, but well, you know.

I hand cut the clouds from plain white cardstock, embossed with a houndstooth cuttlebug folder and outlined with a glitter marker.  I used a circle punch to punch a red/yellow circle from the Studio Calico Paper (Sunday).  I added a yellow corduroy Stampin’ Up! button and used a foam dot to adhere.  American Crafts Rainboots Thickers for the title.  Journaling printed, trimmed and mounted.  I finished up with machine stitching.  Background cardstock is Stampin’ Up! textured cardstock.

I was selected to head up our PreSchool teacher’s appreciation this week.  Yesterday I sewed a thankyou banner for our teachers.  Today I made some cards and picked up gift cards from Borders.  I’m also planning to get some lei for the May Day celebration on Friday and Candy and flowers on other days this week.  I hope they feel appreciated! :)

One last note before I go. My heart is heavy with the news that Memory Makers Magazine is Closing down. no MMM contest for 2010. see this story. I have 3 Layouts in the next issue July/August 09, and the last issue will be Sept/Oct 09 and I’ll have a layout in that issue too. I wish all the best to the people from Memory Makers who have been so awesome.

On a happier note, I’m looking forward to scrapping with my pal Lisa tomorrow, some come back to see some more scrap okay, I’ll blog you later!

Joscie, rhymes with bossy!
