Pink and Brown Birthday Whimsy

Anybody who knows me can testify that I *love* pink and I love it even more when it is matched up with brown. And it uses my new *favorite* Berry Bliss Designer Paper. This was going to be one of the cards that we made at the Sale-a-Bration workshop. You can't tell from the photo, (unless you click on the photo for a close-up), but I used Crystal Effects on the pink plate to make it shiny like a real plate. I thought that was a mighty smart idea!

No, I am not a model

That's the first thing my husband thinks of, "Modeling, like an agency?" Not quite. You know how glamorous teaching is.

As part of my job as an elementary school Literacy Coach, I go into classrooms and model (teach) lessons for teachers as professional development. I'm kind of like a "teacher of the teachers". I have an ugly computer printed schedule on my office door and decided today that I needed to "pretty it up" a little bit.

I used my new Cricut that my parents got me for Christmas, plus my very favorite Berry Bliss Designer Paper to make this header. Plus, it gave me an excuse to try the rub-ons from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. How easy are those? I've never used them before, but it involves a non-sticky sticker and a craft stick. The photo does not do justice to the paper and colors, but believe me, it's really *cute*.

All materials are from Stampin' Up!, except for the Cricut that I used to cut the letters.
