Let's Get Tickled Pink

Good morning and welcome to another fabulous Sunday with Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog!!!  This week the challenge is circles - you could do a circle card, use circle papers, circle mats or just circle embellishments.  I've chosen circle patterns on my paper and circles on my lace trim.

The image I am using is Fashionette Lil Lolita - 20's Evie from Tickled Pink Stamps:

I love these new papers from the new Miss Caroline collection from My Mind's Eye.

Evie is coloured with copic markers.

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing your circles at Paper Sundaes!

A Kraftin' Kimmie New Year's Resolution

After trying to decipher my first class assignment, I figured I'd run and take solace in posting another card.  This image is Carole from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps:

I have followed this week's sketch challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge Blog.

This is another image that I coloured during my hiatus and made into a card Friday night at Christine's house.

Although I love the yellow-green copics, I find blending them a tad difficult.  I look forward to Copic adding more colours to their YG range.

I hinted at a story involving the whole application process at the Glenrose.  Well, my son's teacher nicely agreed to fill out the two page teacher's questionnaire and two page short answer teacher's assessment.  She filled it out one evening and handed it to me the next morning.  I was so grateful for her taking the time to complete it - I imagine it wasn't much fun.  At work I decided to use my lunch time to assemble all the necessary documents for submission.  I looked through my bag - no teacher's portion.  I looked through the car - no teacher's portion.  That made no sense.  I pulled apart all the contents of my bag...then I went back through the car.  I was just about in tears.  It was gone.  I sat down at my desk and tried to figure out how I could have lost the teacher's portion between the short hours betwen 9am and noon.  I'd dropped my son off at school, stopped at the post box on the way to work to mail T4s and invoices for work, I arrived at the office - where could it possibly be?!  OMG!  I mailed it!  I stuffed it into the post box with the T4s!  No address on it, just a brown T4 envelope with the teacher's name on the outside.  I called Canada Post in tears - could they find my envelope??  Yeah right.  Might as well search West Edmonton Mall for a tooth pick was the polite response I got from Canada Post.  So, then I had to explain what I had done to my son's teacher and ask her if she had made a copy.  No such luck.  I then proceeded to beg her to complete the form a second time...  And would you believe something happened to that form too??  But I'll save that for another day.  :)

Carole will be entered into the following challenges:

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge - sketch

Crazy for Challenges - stripes and polka dots

CES Challenges - spots and dots

Spending Time with Tilda

Hmmmm...  I did mention that I love to procrasinate, right?  Hence why I am hiding out on the computer posting another card and avoiding my homework.  Who can blame me really?  Does 'Advanced Managerial Accounting' sound like fun to you?

I am back today with this sweetheart, 'Will you be my valentine?':

I felt like de-stressing a bit by gently distressing the edges of the paper.  Of course my paper distresser was at home so I had to use the edge of my scissors.  The layout is from Crafting Life's Pieces:

Tilda was actually coloured a while back, before my impromptu hiatus so I am afraid that I don't remember what colours I used on her dress or flowers.  Her hair was probably my favorite combination of E50, Y21, Y26, and Y28 and her skin colours would be my usual E000/00/21/11.  The boots are another of my favorite colour combinations with E41/42/43/44. 

For those of you following along, in October I took my son for some testing at the University of Alberta. The U of A offers psychoeducational testing performed by grad students for a cost of only $50. The students are supervised by an actual Psychologist and the testing is actually quite indepth. The lovely student performed a WISC, a Woodcock-Johnson, a BASC, and a GADS.  The down side to testing through the U of A is that you have to wait a few months for your results.  As I've been waiting for three years to have the testing performed at the school level, another two to three months was no big deal.  In the beginning of January, my hubby and I met with the student to review the results of the testing.  Her findings point to an extremely mild form of autism called Asperger's.  In Edmonton, a diagnosis of Asperger's can only be made by the Glenrose.  So, I assembled the half inch think of questionnaires, forms, and reports and submitted the parents' portion, in person, to the Glenrose on February 9th.  Sounds rather simple?  Nah, I had to have some fun with the whole process - but hey, I'll save that story for another post!

Playing Along at MFT

Happy Monday!  Today in Alberta is Family Day which should mean a day off to hang out with the kiddos and sneak in some colouring - but after two days of procrasinating I am going to have to hit the books and do some homework.  First I wanted to sneak in a post. 

I love this week's sketch at MFT and these papers from My Mind's Eye Vanity Fair collection are some of my favorite.

This little girl is "Being Cute Is What I Do" from MFT's Pure Innocence line.  The sentiment which I borrowed from Christine is also from MFT.

I will be entering her into the following challenges:

The Pink Elephant - Print It

Craft Us Crazy - Favorites (paper pack!)

Crafter's Companion - Anything goes

Lollipop Crafts - Anything goes
