3rd Grade--Fall 08/09

Nicholas has Down Syndrome so we held him back for another year of 3rd grade. He has accomplished alot this year and we are very proud of him. This year though he had to do a goofy smile for his pictures...I wish the schoolphotographers would take a little more time to try to get a good picture. Oh well. Next year!

This card was made using the New Wishes book, the pattern is called Merry-Go-Round Stamp Set: Tender Tags #D1350 June Stamp of the Month Paper Pack: Bella Cardstock: Hollyhock, Topiary, Creme Brulee' Ink: Creme Brulee, Hollyhock, Topiary Clear Embossing powder, VersaMark Pewter Spiral Clip and misc. ribbon For the swirls I first stamped them in Hollyhock and then I stamped over them with VersaMark. I sprinkled some clear embossing powder on them and then used my heat gun. As you can see if really gave the card some texture. I did the same thing with the tags.
