Typically Friday's are reserved for my "freestyle Friday" posts - where I show you a card or project that I've made lately that isn't linked to a challenge, but when I saw the new theme for TGIF Challenges this morning, I had an idea right away! The colors for this card are inspired from Fab Friday. Mindy picked a great Autumn combo that's perfect for a back to school theme!
I am already over summer and ready for fall! I love the colors, smells, food, corn mazes, decor... And New England is the best place on earth to see the colors change!
Another thing about New England that I have discovered over the last year or so living here is the certain things the residents say - like lobstaa & Baaston...
and "wicked awesome"!
What kid wouldn't love to get a card from their mom and dad their first day of school that says "you're awesome!" or in Rhode Island - "you're wicked awesome!" ?
When I saw the new Project Life Seasonal Snapshots set from the upcoming holiday catalog, I immediately thought of how I could use "wicked" for my New England ladies. Either I'm not that into Halloween or living in New England is rubbing off on me! :) This set is adorable and covers all the upcoming holidays! The Old Olive stitching on the inside is from the set too - I love it!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wicked awesome day!
