Just Add Pink and Purple

Posted on September 8, 2010 by Shauna

Hi there,

Well, it’s back to school time here on the Canadian west coast.  It’s always felt like the true “new year” to me.. even when I wasn’t a teacher.  That said, this year has been a bit odd for me because I have never been so unprepared for the new year, plus I haven’t been working (I’m a Teacher on Call).. Probably a good thing, seeing as how unprepared I am!

I should jump back into things with both feet.  That’s always the best for me.  So to start, I made a card.  Maybe tomorrow will bring some teaching.

One day I’ll get better at the whole taking-pictures-of-glitter thing.  For now, this’ll have to do.  The Tuesday Trigger this week over at Moxie Fab World was lipstick!  I wanted to capture some vintage feel, some glamour (the glitter), and some lipstick colours in this card.

The layout is following this week’s sketch over at Just Add Ink.  Boy oh boy was I ever in need of a sketch!

This card doesn’t feel super “me,” but I think my lack of crafting this summer may have something to do with it.

About Shauna

I fell in love with the art of rubber stamping when I was 12 years old. I blame my grandparents. I already had every crafty hobby imaginable when they bought me a few stamps, an ink pad, and some embossing powder. I was hooked. From that point on, no special occasion has gone unmarked by one of my hand-crafted creations. Scrapbooking came next, and though it isn't my first love, it's a close second.
